Manually set the width, height, and refresh rate for the input.
After configuring these values, turn the knob to select “Apply” and press it to confirm the changes. If not confirmed, the custom settings will not take effect.
4.4 Configuring Screen Settings
Preconditions:
Each Ethernet port should ideally load the same number of cabinets.
Use regular screens and uniformly sized cabinets.
Steps:
- Power on the LED display. If cabinets display normally, proceed; if not, load the cabinet file and save it to the receiving card.
- Access the “Screen Settings” submenu to set up display parameters.
- Adjust “Cabinet Row QTY” and “Cabinet Column QTY” according to the actual screen layout.
