Video processing and playback
X8m supports overlapping layers, source cropping, window positioning and resizing. The available layer count depends on the 4K sources in the canvas: six HD layers, five layers with one 4K source, or two layers with two 4K sources.
- Genlock synchronization through internal V-Sync, input signal locking and automatic locking according to layers.
- Brightness and precise color-temperature adjustment, plus color-management functions dependent on the receiving card.
- Save and recall 128 scenes for repeated screen layouts.
- USB-drive playback and firmware upgrading. Supported video resolution depends on codec: H.264/AVC, MVC and H.265/HEVC are listed up to 4096 × 2160 at 60 Hz.
- Ethernet redundancy and a recommended maximum CAT5e run of 100 metres.
- Optional 3D and OSD functions; active 3D glasses are a separate optional accessory.
The HDMI 2.0 and DP 1.2 inputs do not support HDR or interlaced signals. The signal-format table also excludes 10-bit and 12-bit input. Refer to the specification for supported source timing and USB formats.
Control computer requirements
The specification lists a dual-core 2.5 GHz or better CPU, at least 8 GB RAM and at least 150 GB SSD capacity. Its operating-system line reads Windows Server 2016 with “No restrictions”; confirm supported Windows versions for the control-software release you plan to use.
Frequently asked questions
How many pixels can Colorlight X8m drive at 60 Hz?
The total capacity is 5.24 million pixels at 8-bit, 60 Hz. At 8-bit, 120 Hz it is 2.62 million pixels, and at 8-bit, 240 Hz it is 1.31 million pixels.
Does X8m always support six video windows?
No. Specification V1.0 lists six HD layers, one 4K layer plus four HD layers, or two 4K layers. The permitted layer count changes with the source combination.
Does Colorlight X8m support HDR input?
The specification states that HDMI 2.0 and DP 1.2 inputs do not support HDR. Their listed signal formats are 8-bit; 10-bit and 12-bit formats are not supported.
Can X8m play media from a USB drive?
Yes. It supports USB video and image playback. The maximum video resolution depends on the codec, so check the supported format list in the specification before preparing files.
What software-control and backup connections does X8m provide?
X8m supports USB control and cascading, RS232, LAN and app control. Ethernet output redundancy is supported. Configure the receiving-card arrangement and backup paths for the screen.
