INTRODUCTION 1.1. General Introduction LEDView530 is a very flexible image scalers developed specifically for driving large screen displays such as LED walls and Projectors in multiple screen applications from video or graphics sources. LEDView530 features the ability to switch between two internal sets of firmware, one optimised for LED walls, the other optimised for Projection soft edge blend and warp.
System control is via a menu system either on screen or through the inbuilt TCP/IP web server or via the built in LCD panel and jog dial. The OSD is scaled to fit the chosen window. Note: At extreme shrink it is hardly readable and control from a web browser or the inbuilt LCD is recommended. Additionally a free API manual is published on our website at the link given below to allow the use of the LAN or RS232 remote control ports. http://www.calibreuk.

3.5. Introduction The front panel has keys and a jog wheel for OSD and local LCD menu navigation and direct keys for input channel selection. 1 2 3 4 5 6 When applying power to the unit it starts up. This is indicated by the green On LED flashing. Once the unit is operational, the On LED is permanently on. 1 – Standby key: By pressing the Standby Key, the unit is put into standby mode. This is indicated by the red Standby LED being permanently on.
The back panel features all input and output connectors, communication ports and the power supply connector.
3.6. Main Menu The main menu lists the input channel select item, 6 sub menus, and a menu item for automatic setup of VGA modes. The 6 sub menus are Output, Colour, Geometry, Multiple Unit, Enhancement and System. On each menu page an Exit menu item is available to leave the menu or submenu. LEDView530 also has a separate back key to leave a submenu.
Set to Scaler-Switcher if you do not need the warp functions to be shown in the menu system. In this mode the Flicker Filter becomes available. Also, the default settings for Frame Rate and I/O lock are chosen such that unit has cleanest switching performance. 3.8.2. Output Mode Settings: 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x768, 1280x800, 1280x1024, 1400x1050, 1600x1200, 1920x1200, 480i, 576i, 480p, 576p, 1080i, 720p, 1080p Set up the desired output resolution with output mode.
Only 720p and 1080p output modes are available with 24Hz refresh rate. 480i and 480p output modes are only available at 60Hz refresh rate. For all other modes 48Hz, 50Hz and 60Hz refresh rate is available. 3.8.5. I/O Lock Available settings: Off, Source, Genlock, Auto If I/O Lock is switched off the output is run with a fixed refresh rate determined by the frame rate setting.
3.8.7. Output Gamma Settings: 1.0 to 3.0 in steps of 0.1 Output gamma allows to re-gamma video signals with pre-configured gamma values to match the display. Input gamma and output gamma both default to 2.2. If they are both set to the same value, there is no effect on the image. Note: If e.g. an adjustment to reduce the level of red in the image is required, select a higher number for the (input) Colour Temp in the Colour menu, or a lower number for the Native Colour Temp in the Output menu. 3.8.8.
The range can be set to Default, Limited, and Full. When set to Default CEA output modes have limited range, and VESA modes have full range. Therefore, an incoming limited range mode is either passed through when the output is set to a CEA output mode or expanded when the output is set to a VESA mode. An incoming full range mode is either compressed when the output is set to a CEA output mode or passed through when the output is set to a VESA mode. If the HDMI/DVI output does not behave as expected, e.g.
3.9. Colour This is an INPUT channel menu containing adjustments associated with setting up inputs to the unit. 3.9.1. Black-Level Offset Settings: 0 IRE, 7.5 IRE Used to select 7.5 IRE black level set-up adjustment. Should always be set to 7.5 IRE for HDMI video and NTSC video inputs and should usually be off for PAL analog video inputs. 3.9.2. Black-Level Settings: -50 to 50 in steps of 1 Black level controls the offset applied to the video signal. (same as the brightness control on a TV) 3.9.3.
3.10. Geometry This menu contains adjustments associated with setting up position, aspect ratio and scale of the input signal.. 3.10.1. Horizontal/Vertical Position Settings: in steps of 1 pixel/line Change the positional values to match the display boarders. 3.10.2. Edge Control Submenu for changing the position of the image edges, effectively scaling the image in horizontal and vertical direction. 3.10.3. Warp Note:- This menu is only available when Display Type is chosen as Projector.
Note that some aspect ratios may not be applicable to all signal types, in which case selecting a nonapplicable aspect ratio conversion will have no effect on the displayed image. E.g. when a 16:9 image is displayed on a 16:9 panel all settings give an identical full screen image. Standard preserves the aspect ratio of the incoming image and scales the image to fit into the size of the panel.
3.11. PiP LEDView530 can be rebooted in a single unit configuration. Then the multiple unit menu is replaced by a PiP menu. It contains adjustments associated with setting up source, position and size of a picture in picture video image. 3.11.1. PiP Input Selects the video source for the PiP window. The available PiP video sources depend on the currently displayed (main) video source.
3.11.4. PiP Show/Hide Settings: Show, Hide When activating and deactivating PiP processing, i.e PiP Mode changed from Off to PiP or from PiP to off the video processing off the main image is halted for a short period. This can be avoided by activating PiP (PiP Mode set to PiP at all time) and showing or hiding the PiP window. The drawback of this method is that when PiP is hidden and a PiP source mode change is detected, e.g.
3.12. Multiple Unit LEDView530 when operated it’s LED mode and in the default multiple unit configuration has Multiple Unit menu. This is to set up each unit for use in a multi screen application. Multiple screens are stitched together to provide a bigger display with higher resolution than a single display. Each display is driven by a separate LEDView unit. In a multi projection display the individual projections typically are chosen to overlap to give seamless transitions.
Note: This function can be used in conjunction with the item below to select the blend regions to be provided even when auto zoom is turned off 3.12.3. Horizontal Pos/Vertical Pos Settings: 0 to 3 indicating co-ordinates 0,0, to 3.3 for the maximum matrix size of 16 With Auto zoom turned on this provides the LEDView unit information of which window portion of the total image it is assigned to and has to process (cut out and resize).
3.12.6. Black-Level Uplift In LED mode: This should be set to zero In Projection mode: This enables the user to provide a black level uplift to compensate for the additional light leakage from multiple projectors in overlap regions. The black level uplift can be set for the 9 possible regions of the image. Setting the black level uplift for the middle of an edge also sets the black level uplift for the two adjacent corners, and if needed the corners can then be set individually.
CCS is a filter to reduce luminance to chrominance cross talk of composite video signals (only) which appears as a coarse rainbow pattern or random colours in regions of fine details. 3.13.4. Flicker Filter Note: This feature and the corresponding sliders are only available when LEDView530 is operated in LED or Scaler-Switcher mode to be set under Output/Display Type/Display. Also, this feature is only available when the Display Mode is set to Low Latency.
3.14. System This selection contains functions which are more applicable to system operation than to picture adjustment. 3.14.1. User Settings: USER 1, 2, 3, 4 A predefined setting stored under a user name can be selected. Several settings of the LEDView530 can be stored under a user name. Thus, different users can store their preferred LEDView530 settings and recall these profiles by picking up their user name from this menu.
3.14.3. Input Config Inputs can be configured through the following sub-menus: VGA Setup: Submenu for adjusting analogue computer video. A button for automatic setup of frequency and phase of the sampling clock is provided. This automatic adjustment is strongly recommended. Frequency (Clock) and phase can also be altered manually. The preferred video mode can be selected in the EDID Input Format menu. This setting can force the source to output a certain video mode.
The Auto setting will automatically detect a sync signal and set-up LEDView accordingly. This is setup in under Synchronisation. Test Pattern: When the OSD menu is off the test pattern can be toggled through by pressing the up or down keys of the keypad. For unit control through a web browser or to set up a certain default test pattern please use the input configuration menu. Custom test patterns loaded into the file system of the unit through the web interface, can be accessed through the same means.
3.14.5. Menu Settings This menu provides items to change the menu position and menu display time, i.e. the time after which the OSD is switched off again with no user interaction. OSD Messages can be activated and deactivated. The menu language can be altered and the keypad can be locked. To unlock the keypad a combination of keys has to be pressed at the same time. The locking of the keyboard is accompanied by the message that the keypad is locked and which keys need pressing to unlock the unit.
REMOTE CONTROL WEB SERVER 4.1. Introduction LEDView530 features a web server which connects to a PC web browser via TCP/IP. The menu system of LEDView530 is mirrored into the web browser and all menu items can be accessed and controlled through the keyboard or mouse of the PC. 4.2. Installing the Software No extra software needs to be installed on a PC. The PC web browser is used as the graphical user interface for all control items.
