5.2.3 Screen Connection Setting
Click [Design] to enter the screen connection setting interface.
The specific steps are as follows:
1. Add cabinets
Choose the sender network port that needs cabinets added, click [Add Cabinets] and
a drop-down box will appear. You can choose to add cabinets directly if the type
management has the corresponding types, or you can click [Custom] to add customized
cabinets according to the actual size of cabinets if the type management doesn’t have the
corresponding types.
Page 17
www.colorlightinside.com
15
When adding cabinets, hold the left mouse button on the View Area and move the
mouse to add the amount of cabinets after choosing the cabinet type.
After adding the amount of cabinets, if the array of the cabinets does not match with
the real situation then the array needs to be set. Left-click to select the cabinet group, at this
time, the lower right corner of the cabinet group will show a small box. Drag the small box
using the mouse to set the array of the cabinets to match with the real situation; or you can
directly set the number of cabinets in [Selected Information].
2. Set up mapping
Cable connections will be automatically created when adding cabinets, but if the
connections do not match with the real situation then we need to reset the connections.
Select the target sender and the net port from the right side, then select the
corresponding cabinets within the net port actual control area, then set the connections in
the mapping area.
There are two methods for set up:
① Manual Routing
In the mapping area, select the cabinet which corresponds to the first receiver card
based on the actual connection of the net port (view from the front). Click on the “Manual
Routing” button , put the mouse on the cabinet and left-click on it, then click the cabinets
Page 18

16
one by one according to the actual cable connection until the last one for this network port
loads.
② Auto Routing
While aiming at the LED screen with the standard cable connections, first cover the
corresponding area of net port loading in the mapping area, then select the cable
connection you want from the right side, then complete the setting.
Notes: As the cabinets have multiple and different specifications (that is the inconsistent
size of the cabinet), you can select the different one to adjust separately after completing
the setting.
3. Save the mapping of the cabinets
When the mapping of the cabinets of each net port has been set, click [Save Current
Sender] to save the mapping of all cabinets to the current sender. At this time, the screen
should display normally.
