Plan Your LED Screen Connection
Start with your screen’s pixel width and height, then confirm the source output and receiving-card configuration. The per-port pixel limit is not a substitute for checking the controller’s overall supported input mode. For an existing installation, record the receiving-card model and cabinet wiring before replacing the sending box.
Contact us with your screen resolution, source connection and receiving-card model for help checking your selection.
