- EDID management: Manage source-display communication for more predictable signal setup.
- Dual Ethernet output: Drive an LED canvas of up to 1.3 million pixels through two Ethernet ports.
- Fast configuration: Use quick configuration to set up the LED screen and adjust brightness and Gamma.
- Preset recall: Save and load up to six user-defined presets for repeatable operating scenarios.
- System integration: Support external independent audio and control through central control devices.
Is the CMS130 Right for Your LED Screen?
Choose the CMS130 when the total LED canvas is within 1.3 million pixels, two Ethernet outputs meet the receiving-card layout, and at least one of its five input formats matches the source equipment. The controller is especially useful when video processing and LED screen control need to share one compact 1U device.
- Retail and shopping malls: Manage common digital signage sources and adjust screen brightness or Gamma.
- Hotels and conference spaces: Switch between HDMI, DVI and VGA presentation sources and recall saved layouts.
- Exhibitions and events: Use input cropping, scaling and six presets to prepare repeatable display configurations.
- TV studios: Control source size and position while keeping screen configuration in the same hardware unit.
If the LED canvas exceeds 1.3 million pixels or requires more than two Ethernet outputs, select a higher-capacity controller. Before ordering, confirm the total pixel load, source connector and receiving-card routing for the installation.
