Colorlight i5A-905 receiving card for compact cabinets
The Colorlight i5A-905 is an LED receiving card for compact and portable displays, including die-cast aluminum cabinets. It supports pixel-level brightness and chromaticity calibration and a dual receiving-card backup arrangement with two cards in one cabinet. The carrier board, wiring and system configuration must support the chosen arrangement.
The parameters on this page follow the i5A-905 V6.1 specification dated September 28, 2018. Check the revision marking on the supplied card before applying these values to a replacement project.
i5A-905 specifications at a glance
| Parameter | V6.1 specification |
|---|---|
| Full-color control area | 256 × 256 pixels per card |
| Calibration area | 256 × 256 pixels per card |
| Scan type | Static to 1/32 scan |
| Data output | 16 groups of RGBR′; up to 24 groups of RGB |
| Calibration precision | 14-bit point-by-point brightness and chromaticity calibration |
| Input voltage | DC 3.3–6 V |
| Rated current / power | 0.6 A / 3 W |
| Board size / weight | 137 × 48 mm / 70 g |
| Operating temperature | −25 to +75 °C |
The datasheet allows the column dimension to extend to 1024 pixels for special applications. This does not establish a 1024 × 1024 load. Confirm the actual cabinet resolution, driver IC, scan mode and refresh settings as a complete configuration.

Dual receiving-card backup and display control
The i5A-905 specification describes two receiving cards providing mutual backup within one cabinet. It also lists loop backup and dual-machine backup. These are system design options: a single card alone does not create a complete redundant display. Confirm the matching carrier board, signal routing and configuration before commissioning.
Conventional, PWM and lighting driver chips are supported. Data-group offset and pixel mapping help configure freeform, spherical and other creative displays. Brightness and chromaticity calibration help reduce visible differences between pixels.
Refresh performance depends on loading and scan mode. With conventional chips, the specification lists up to 16,000 Hz for static 64 × 64 pixels and up to 10,000 Hz for 1/8-scan 128 × 128 pixels. Compare refresh claims using equivalent module and loading conditions.
Replacement and installation checks
Power can be supplied through the carrier board; the specification also lists a wire terminal or HUB-board power interface. Verify voltage, polarity and the exact connector definition for the supplied revision. Match the module driver, scan ratio, data-group arrangement and mounting clearance before installation.
Save the original screen configuration and calibration data before changing the card. For matching assistance, provide photos of both sides of the old card, its revision label, the carrier-board connections, cabinet pixel dimensions and sending-device model. For a backup design, include a wiring diagram showing both receivers.

Frequently asked questions
What is the pixel load of the Colorlight i5A-905?
The V6.1 specification lists 256 × 256 full-color pixels per card. Column extension to 1024 pixels is described for special applications; it does not mean a 1024 × 1024-pixel capacity.
How many cards are needed for dual receiving-card backup?
The V6.1 specification describes two receiving cards in one cabinet. Confirm the carrier-board support and system setup; ordering one spare card does not by itself enable this backup mode.
Does the i5A-905 support 1/64 scan?
The cited V6.1 document specifies static to 1/32 scan. Check another revision’s documentation before assuming a higher limit. Compare the LED receiving card range if your module requires a different scan type.
Are temperature and smoke sensors built into the card?
The monitoring functions in this specification work with a multifunction card. Confirm the additional hardware needed for temperature, humidity, smoke monitoring or remote relay control.
Where can I find the interface definitions?
