Colorlight X20-3D LED Controller Overview
The Colorlight X20-3D combines video processing and LED display control in a 2U unit. Connect a 4K source through HDMI 2.0 or DP 1.4, arrange up to six windows, and send the display signal through 20 Gigabit Ethernet outputs or two 10G optical fiber ports. Its rated loading capacity is 13 million pixels.

Screen sizing: The maximum width and maximum height are separate limits, not a simultaneous 16,384 × 8,192 canvas. Check total pixels, port allocation and the intended operating mode before selecting a controller.
Video Processing and Display Control
Switch sources and crop, scale or splice video to suit the screen layout. Six adjustable windows let you position multiple sources on one LED canvas. Image controls include color management, display gamut, brightness and color temperature adjustment. Video synchronization, HDCP support and front-panel freeze and blackout controls help manage playback.
Plan Your LED Display Connection
Use the video inputs for the source device and the display outputs for the receiving-card system. The LAN connector is for network control. For fiber installations, confirm the optical transceiver, receiver-side equipment and transmission distance; the datasheet lists optional single-mode transceivers for 2 km or 20 km.
Before ordering, provide your screen’s pixel dimensions, receiving-card model, source resolution and whether 3D is required. Browse our LED receiving cards or contact us to check the configuration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the X20-3D accept 4K at 60 Hz?
Yes. HDMI 2.0 and DP 1.4 accept up to 4096 × 2160 at 60 Hz. HDMI 1.4 and DVI inputs have a lower specified maximum of 1920 × 1200 at 60 Hz.
Can it control a 3D LED display?
It supports 3D and has a synchronization connector for a 3D emitter. Confirm the compatible receiving cards, emitter, glasses and operating mode for your installation; 3D support alone does not establish which accessories are included.
Where can I find the manual and software?
Download the X20-3D specification below for detailed connector and signal limits. Visit Colorlight’s official download center and confirm software compatibility with your controller before updating.
Conclusion
The X20-3D suits projects needing 4K input, multiple video windows and a choice of Ethernet or fiber output. Select the final configuration around the screen’s pixel load, receiving cards and required 3D setup.
