Colorlight C3 LED video player: discontinued model
The Colorlight C3 has been discontinued. This page retains product identification, original photographs and the user manual for existing installations. For a new project or replacement, contact EagerLED to confirm a suitable player and availability before ordering.
The C3 is an asynchronous LED video player: it stores published programs and plays them on an LED screen without a computer remaining connected during playback. A computer and compatible LEDVISION software are used to prepare content, configure the system and publish updates.
Identify the C3 interfaces before reconnecting cables
The Colorlight C3 manual separates the LED display output from the LAN connection used for management. Both use network-style connectors, so identify the printed port labels before reconnecting an existing installation.
| Port or indicator | Documented role |
|---|---|
| LED DISPLAY | Signal connection to the LED receiving card |
| CONFIG | USB connection to a PC for settings and content updates |
| USB1 / USB2 | USB-stick content update and playback |
| 100M_IN | LAN connection for management |
| AUDIO | Stereo audio output |
| STAT / PWR | Signal and power status indicators |
Verify the power requirement and polarity on the actual unit and its adapter. The archived manual’s power table and illustrated socket label differ, so its table alone should not be used to select a replacement adapter.

Updating an existing C3 with LEDVISION
The archived manual documents direct USB, Ethernet and USB-disk publishing. For direct USB setup, it instructs users to select Control → Screen Control → Play Box in LEDVISION before connecting the PC to the C3 CONFIG port with a standard USB A/B cable. Then use the program-publishing window to detect the player.
Program management includes choosing stored content, checking available memory, adjusting time, volume and brightness, and setting playback schedules. Save the existing program files and screen configuration before changing settings or replacing equipment.
The manual lists Windows 7, 8 and 10 and recommends LEDVISION 4.20 or later for its documented workflow. These are historical requirements; compatibility with a current operating system or software release must be checked separately.

Choosing a replacement for a discontinued C3
Provide the screen’s total width and height in pixels, receiving-card model, current program format and required update method. Also identify any audio, network or scheduling needs. A replacement must fit the complete display system; similar connectors do not establish a direct swap.
Browse the LED media player range as a starting point. Confirm compatibility and migration steps before changing the player, especially when retaining older receiving cards and configuration files.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Colorlight C3 still a current model?
No. This product is listed as discontinued. Confirm any replacement or legacy-unit availability with EagerLED before placing an order.
Does a computer have to stay connected during playback?
The C3 supports standalone playback of published programs. A compatible computer and LEDVISION are used for preparation, configuration and updates in the documented workflow.
Are LED DISPLAY and 100M_IN interchangeable?
No. LED DISPLAY connects to the receiving-card system; 100M_IN is the LAN management connection. Follow the labels and the manual’s connection diagram.
Which power adapter should I use for an existing C3?
Check the actual unit label, polarity and original adapter. The archived manual’s table says DC 5 V / 2 A, while its pictured socket is labelled DC 12 V / 2 A. This unresolved difference means the manual alone should not be used to select an adapter.
Where can I download the C3 manual?
Use the Colorlight C3 LED Video Player User Manual for the original setup, publishing and scheduling procedures. Retain a backup of your working configuration before maintenance.
