Colorlight HC5 5G LED Receiving Card Overview
The Colorlight HC5 LED receiving card is designed for fine-pitch LED screens in fixed installations and rental applications. Its 5Gb/s signal transmission and high-density connector interface support a display system built around higher bandwidth, deep color and flexible cabinet wiring. Here, 5G describes the wired transmission rate, not a cellular connection.
For a new screen or replacement card, start with the cabinet design and sending equipment. The HC5 belongs inside the LED display signal chain: a compatible controller sends display data to the receiving card, which drives the connected LED modules through the cabinet interface.
Key Specifications and Display Features
| Item | HC5 capability |
|---|---|
| Product type | 5G LED display receiving card |
| Signal transmission | 5Gb/s |
| Maximum advertised load | 256 × 1024 pixels |
| Video color depth | 8-bit, 10-bit and 12-bit source support |
| HDR formats | HDR10 and HLG |
| Color and grayscale | Infi-bit expansion, grayscale refinement, independent RGB gamma and color gamut adjustment |
| Cabinet interface | High-density connectors; check the matching HUB board and pinout |
The advertised maximum load is a selection reference, not a guarantee for every frame rate, driver IC or scan configuration. Confirm the complete screen configuration before specifying the number of cards.
Calibration, Maintenance and Backup
- Calibration: per-pixel brightness and chromaticity correction, low-grayscale calibration and multi-layer calibration.
- Cabinet adjustment: seam correction, screen rotation, OSD identification and a stored display image.
- Maintenance: firmware upgrades without a power restart, calibration coefficient downloads and support for up to 16 intelligent modules.
- Monitoring: cabinet temperature, humidity, voltage, power and Ethernet cable status, with the required cabinet hardware.
- Redundancy: loop backup, dual receiving-card hot backup, power-supply redundancy and backups for configuration, calibration and firmware. These require the appropriate system design.
Check Compatibility Before Ordering
Match the exact HC5 hardware version to your existing cabinet. A similar board shape or a Colorlight brand label alone is not enough to establish compatibility. For a replacement, retain the working screen configuration and calibration files so the installer can restore the intended display settings.
- Identify the sending controller and its output configuration.
- Confirm the cabinet HUB board, connector pinout, power arrangement and available mounting space.
- Provide the module resolution, cabinet resolution, driver IC and scan mode.
- Specify the required frame rate, color depth and any camera synchronization or redundancy requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Colorlight HC5 used for?
It receives display data within compatible LED cabinets for fine-pitch fixed and rental screens. It is a receiving card, so the installation also needs suitable sending equipment, LED modules and a cabinet interface.
Does HC5 support high frame rates?
Colorlight describes 120Hz, 144Hz and up to 240Hz operation when used with sender frame-rate multiplication. The achievable mode depends on the full system. Confirm the target frame rate together with loading and color depth.
Can HC5 replace any Gigabit receiving card?
Do not assume a direct swap. Check the transmission system, board connections, module parameters and firmware with the cabinet supplier before changing card models.
Where can I check the HC5 price and datasheet?
The current unit price and availability appear in the purchasing section above. Use the specification download below for integration details. For a multi-cabinet project, send your required quantity and screen configuration when requesting a quotation.
Conclusion
The HC5 is an option for fine-pitch projects that need 5Gb/s transmission, advanced color adjustment and cabinet-level maintenance features. Confirm the sending equipment and cabinet configuration before ordering to select the right receiving card for your screen.
