Window Layouts and Playback
Window capacity depends on the input combination: up to six HD layers, five windows with one 4K source plus four HD sources, or two windows with two 4K sources. Windows can overlap, resize and crop, with a minimum size of 64 × 64 pixels. Save frequently used layouts as presets for quicker changes between presentation segments.
USB playback provides a way to show stored images and video. File compatibility depends on the codec and resolution, so check the linked specification against your actual media files before preparing a show. Independent audio connections help integrate external audio equipment.
Plan Your LED Screen Connection
- Count screen pixels. Multiply the physical LED wall width in pixels by its height, then check the required frame rate and port allocation.
- List your sources. Record each laptop, media server or other source, its connector and output resolution. Choose the window combination before finalizing the presentation layout.
- Check the receiving system. Confirm receiving card model, cabinet mapping and feature support. Color gamut adjustment requires compatible receiving cards; 3D and Bluetooth remote control are optional.
- Prepare the installation details. Share cabinet resolution, cabinet quantity, screen layout and cable plan when requesting a compatibility check.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the X12m drive a full 3840 × 2160 LED wall?
A 3840 × 2160 wall contains 8,294,400 pixels, above the stated 7.86 million pixel capacity. Accepting a 4K input does not mean the controller can drive every pixel of that wall at its native resolution. Choose sufficient output capacity for the physical screen, or review a different system design.
Does X12m always support six windows?
No. Six is the maximum for an HD layer configuration. Adding 4K sources changes the available window count as described above. Plan the exact source combination for your event.
What should I check before buying?
