Colorlight X16 LED wall controller and video processor
The Colorlight X16 combines video processing and LED sending with sixteen Gigabit Ethernet outputs. Its documented standard configuration includes one HDMI 2.0 input, four DVI inputs and two 3G-SDI inputs. It supports source switching, image splicing, scaling and up to seven-picture display.
This reference follows the X16 Specification V1.0, dated July 19, 2018, alongside the linked operating manual. The stated LED loading is 8.88 million pixels, with a separate maximum width or height of 8192 pixels. Confirm the installed input boards and supplied hardware version before ordering or replacing a controller.

X16 signal inputs and LED loading
| HDMI 2.0 input | 1; up to 4096 × 2160 at 60 Hz |
|---|---|
| DVI inputs | 4; up to 1920 × 1200 at 60 Hz |
| SDI inputs | 2 × 3G-SDI; listed resolution 1920 × 1080P |
| LED outputs | 16 × Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet ports |
| Total LED loading | Up to 8,880,000 pixels |
| Separate dimension limits | Maximum width or height 8192 pixels, within total loading |
| Picture arrangement | Up to seven pictures with adjustable positions and sizes |
Input limits differ by connector. Keep the total screen within 8.88 million pixels; the maximum width and height are separate limits.
Input-board configuration options
| X16 standard | 1 × HDMI 2.0 + 4 × DVI |
|---|---|
| X16B customized | 8 × DVI |
| X16C customized | 2 × HDMI 2.0 |
These are alternative input-board configurations, not a combined set of ports included with every X16. Match the board to the required sources, and confirm SDI provision and the complete rear-panel arrangement for the supplied unit. The model names in the reference do not by themselves establish current availability.
Picture control, synchronization and setup
The X16 supports seamless switching, image splicing and scaling to the target LED resolution. Seven-picture layouts allow picture locations and sizes to be adjusted. Confirm the actual source combination, timings and desired layout on the supplied firmware before finalizing a multi-source system.
Genlock input and a Genlock loop output are documented for display synchronization. The LAN interface handles network control; USB IN connects a computer for parameter configuration, while USB OUT cascades control to the next controller. These control connections are separate from the sixteen LED data outputs.
The front panel provides a 3.5-inch LCD, rotary knob, function keys and source-selection keys. Brightness, chromaticity and low-brightness grayscale adjustments support screen tuning. The reference lists compatibility with Colorlight receiving cards, multifunction cards and optical transceivers; confirm the actual receiver model, module driver IC and configuration files for the project.

X16 power and installation reference
| Chassis | 2U standard enclosure |

Use the dimension drawing to check rack mounting, handles, feet and connector clearance. Preserve the existing screen configuration before replacing hardware, then verify the receiver mapping, source timing and synchronization with the actual display.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Colorlight X16 an LED wall panel or a controller?
The X16 is a video processor and LED sending controller. It connects video sources to an LED display system; it is not an LED cabinet or display panel.
Do all X16 inputs support 4K at 60Hz?
No. The standard HDMI 2.0 input supports up to 4096×2160 at 60Hz. DVI supports up to 1920×1200 at 60Hz, and the 3G-SDI inputs are listed for 1920×1080p.
Are X16B and X16C input boards included with the standard X16?
No. The V1.0 specification identifies them as customized alternatives. Confirm the installed input board and complete rear-panel configuration for the order.
Does the X16 have built-in optical output ports?
The X16 specification lists sixteen Gigabit RJ45 outputs. Compatibility with optical transceivers does not mean optical ports are built into the controller; check the external transmission equipment needed.
What information is needed when replacing an X16 controller?
Provide the screen resolution, receiving-card models, saved configuration, source formats, installed input board and required Genlock arrangement. These details help check the replacement against the existing system.
Contact EagerLED with those details for a selection check. Compare the Colorlight X20 when different loading or output connections are required.
