Colorlight X40m LED video controller
The Colorlight X40m combines 4K video input, multi-window processing and LED screen control in one unit. It supports up to 26.21 million pixels, with 40 Gigabit Ethernet outputs or four 10G optical outputs. Choose the output method for the installation: Ethernet and optical output cannot operate simultaneously.
Inputs and screen layout
Connect 4K sources through HDMI 2.0 or DisplayPort 1.2, each supporting up to 4096×2160 at 60Hz. Two HDMI 1.4 and two DVI inputs accept up to 1920×1200 at 60Hz. The layout can contain six HD windows, one 4K window with four HD windows, or two 4K windows. Window positioning, scaling and cropping help fit sources to the LED canvas.
The controller saves and recalls 128 scenes and supports USB media playback and firmware upgrades. Genlock can follow internal timing, an input signal or the active layer. Independent audio input and output are provided, with HDMI and DP audio decoding. Precise color management requires a compatible receiving card; 3D and OSD are optional features.

Planning an X40m installation
Check the total screen pixel count, port allocation and source layout before choosing the controller. For optical transmission, budget for the separately purchased optical modules. FIBER 1–4 correspond respectively to Ethernet output groups 1–10, 11–20, 21–30 and 31–40.
Frequently asked questions
Can the X40m use Ethernet and optical outputs together?
No. The specification lists 40 Gigabit Ethernet outputs or four 10G optical outputs and states that the two output types cannot be used simultaneously.
Does the Colorlight X40m accept 4K at 60Hz?
Yes. Its HDMI 2.0 and DP 1.2 inputs support up to 4096×2160 at 60Hz. The HDMI 1.4 and DVI inputs are limited to 1920×1200 at 60Hz.
How many video windows can the X40m display?
It supports six HD windows, one 4K window plus four HD windows, or two 4K windows. The maximum window count therefore depends on the source resolution.
Can the X40m play content from a USB drive?
Yes. USB playback supports NTFS, FAT32 and exFAT drives. Check the specification for supported image formats, video containers and codecs before preparing media.
Are optical modules, 3D and OSD included as standard?
The 10G optical modules are purchased separately. The specification identifies 3D and OSD as optional; confirm the required configuration before ordering.
