Colorlight X1 LED display controller
The Colorlight X1 is a two-output LED controller with a maximum loading capacity of 1.31 million pixels. It accepts one HDMI and two DVI sources at up to 1920×1200 at 60Hz, then scales or crops the video to fit the LED screen. Source switching and screen offset support display setup.
Operation and connections
Front-panel keys select HDMI, DVI 1 or DVI 2, adjust brightness and crop the screen. A brightness display and signal indicators show operating status. USB IN connects to a computer for parameter configuration, while USB OUT cascades control to another controller.
Brightness and chromaticity adjustments and improved low-brightness grayscale are documented. The audio input is used with a multifunction card. For an existing screen, verify the receiving-card model, module configuration and saved mapping before replacing the controller.
