The Colorlight X2 LED display controller receives a video source, processes the image and sends it to a compatible Colorlight LED receiving-card system. It combines five input formats with two Gigabit Ethernet outputs in a 1U controller, making it suitable for an LED display installation that needs source switching, image scaling and straightforward PC setup.
Colorlight X2 at a glance
- LED output: 2 Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45) ports; total loading capacity up to 1.3 million pixels.
- Video inputs: 1 each of SDI, HDMI, DVI, VGA and CVBS.
- Maximum input resolution: 1920 × 1200 at 60 Hz (for supported inputs); SDI supports 1080p and CVBS supports PAL/NTSC.
- Screen dimensions: maximum width or height of 2560 pixels, subject to the total pixel capacity.
- Control: USB_IN for PC configuration and USB_OUT for cascading to another controller.

How the X2 fits into an LED display system
Connect an SDI, HDMI, DVI, VGA or CVBS video source to the X2, then connect its two RJ45 outputs to compatible Colorlight receiving cards in the LED screen. Use USB_IN to configure parameters from a PC. USB_OUT supports cascading another controller when a larger installation requires multiple units. The X2 supports input switching, image scaling, brightness and chromaticity adjustment, low-brightness grayscale improvement and HDCP 1.4, as listed in the X2 specification.
Capacity planning: the 1920 × 1200 figure describes supported video input resolution. The LED canvas is limited separately by the controller’s 1.3 million-pixel total output capacity and 2560-pixel width/height limit. Check the receiving-card layout and actual pixel map before ordering.
Frequently asked questions
How many Ethernet outputs does the Colorlight X2 have?
The X2 has two Gigabit Ethernet outputs, labeled PORT 1 and PORT 2 in the X2 specification.
Does the X2 support HDMI and SDI input?
Yes. The X2 has one HDMI and one SDI input, plus DVI, VGA and CVBS inputs. Its SDI input is specified for 1080p; HDMI, DVI and VGA support up to 1920 × 1200 at 60 Hz.
Can I cascade multiple X2 controllers?
Yes. The USB_OUT interface is specified for cascading to the next controller. Plan the LED output map and synchronization for the complete system.
