Colorlight VX10 LED video controller
The Colorlight VX10 combines video processing and LED sending in a ten-port controller. It accepts 4K HDMI sources and controls up to 6.5 million pixels at 8-bit, 60 Hz. Three adjustable layers, Genlock and backup options suit multi-source LED walls used for rental events, stages and broadcast installations.
Connect sources and choose the operating mode
The input selection includes HDMI 2.0, HDMI 1.4, two DVI connections, 3G-SDI and an adaptive fiber port. HDMI 1.4, one DVI input and SDI provide loop outputs. An HDMI 1.3 port offers preview or video output.
Use video processor mode for cropping, switching and scaling, or select fiber optic transceiver or Bypass operation. The specification states that no latency is achievable in Bypass mode; this is a mode-specific statement, not a guarantee for every signal path. Brightness groups, color temperature and individual RGB controls help adjust the display.

Optical transmission distance depends on the selected module. Fiber 1 can act as input or output; Fiber 2 is output-only and supports copy, backup or video loop operation. Consult the PDF for mode-specific port routing. HDMI 2.0 supports HDR, while HDMI 1.4 and DVI do not.
Frequently asked questions
How many pixels can Colorlight VX10 drive?
At 60 Hz, the specification lists 6.5 million pixels for 8-bit output and 4.9 million for 10-bit output. Higher frame rates reduce loading capacity, as shown in the table.
Does VX10 support 4K HDR input?
Its HDMI 2.0 input supports HDR and up to 4096 × 2160 at 60 Hz. Supported frame rates depend on color sampling and bit depth; 10-bit 4:4:4 at that resolution is listed at 30 Hz.
What are the VX10 fiber ports used for?
Fiber 1 adapts to input or output. Fiber 2 provides output copy, backup or video loop functions. Optional 10G SFP+ modules are required, and transmission distance depends on their specifications.
Can VX10 show three independent video layers?
Yes. Three layers are supported, with separate size and position adjustment. Cropping, scaling and switching are available in the video processing workflow.
Can the VX10 USB drive port play video files?
The V1.1 specification identifies the U-DISK port for receiving-card parameter configuration. It does not document USB media playback, so do not assume it works as a stand-alone USB video player.
