Safety Notes
Please read the following Safety Notes carefully before starting to work with the product.
These notes provide important safety information about the installation, usage, and
maintenance.
This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Any reference to servicing in this
User Manual will only apply to properly trained Chauvet
certified technicians. Do
not open the housing or attempt any repairs.
If product is being used in a mobile or touring application, the VIP™ Media System
must be mounted in a shock resistant (or shock mount) road case. This will help
prevent damage to the hard drives.
Please refer to all applicable local codes and regulations for the proper installation
of the product.
•Always connect the product to a grounded circuit to avoid the risk of electrocution.
•The product is rated IP50 and should only be used in environments meeting that
criteria.
•When hanging the product, always secure to a fastening device using a safety cable.
•The maximum ambient temperature is 122 °F (50 °C). Do not operate the product at
higher temperatures.
•Do not operate the product if you see damage on the housing, LED strips, or cables.
In any of these cases, have the damaged parts replaced by an authorized technician.
•Do not open or modify the product.
•Make sure the product is connected to the proper voltage provided in this manual’s
specifications and/or the specification sticker on the product.
•Never try to repair the product. Repairs carried out by unskilled people can lead to
damage or malfunction. Please contact Chauvet Technical Support.
•To eliminate wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use completely
disconnect from power via breaker or by unplugging it.
Any damages caused by manual modifications are not subject to warranty.
Chauvet
will not accept liability for any resulting damages caused by unauthorized
modifications or not observing the safety warnings and instructions in the
manual.
DO NOT mount this product outdoors! These panels do not allow wind to flow
through them and will act like a sail.
In the unlikely event that your CHAUVET® product may require service, contact
Chauvet Technical Support.
Expected LED
Lifespan
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time, mostly because of heat. Packaged in
clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal, single LED
conditions. For this reason, using clustered LEDs at their fullest intensity significantly
re
duces the LEDs’ lifespan. The electrical, thermal management design of the PVP™
panel is designed to provide the longest LED lifespan possible. Under normal operating
conditions, this lifespan can be 50,000 hours or longer. If extending this lifespan is vi
tal,
lower the operational temperature by improving ventilation around the fixture and
reducing the ambient temperature to an optimal operating range. In addition, limiting the
overall projection intensity may also help to extend the LEDs’ lifespan.

PVP™ Series User Manual, Rev. 4 3
2. Introduction
Product
Description
The PVP™ is a Precision Video Panel. The PVP™ series is part of the VIP™ line of video
wall products and includes 2 models:
•PVP™ S5
•PVP™ S7
Each model is a video panel consisting of multiple SMD3528 tri-color LEDs
. The number in
each model name indicates the pixel pitch (distance, in millimeters, between the LEDs
) of that
model. When multiple panels are assembled and connected (signal and power), the entire
configuration becomes a modular video wall design.
The outer dimensions of each panel are identical. The difference between each model is the
vertical and horizontal spacing between the LEDs and the number of LED pixels
. Both of
these values determine the total number of LED pixels provided on each panel. Each pixel is
one SMD3528 tri-color LED.
The aluminum alloy and stainless steel construction make the PVP™
reliable and solid, as
well as easy to install and dismantle. Multiple panels can be assembled
horizontally or
vertically, and each model is interchangeable with the others. This flexibility provides
numerous modular design possibilities.
The PVP™ video wall system is addressed using a PC and CHAUVET®
LED Studio
software. Refer to the CHAUVET®
LED Studio User Manual for detailed information and
instructions on using CHAUVET® LED Studio.
Features
•5.2 mm (PVP™ S5) or 7.8 mm (PVP™ S7) pixel pitch video panel system featuring superb
contrast through the use of blackface SMD3528 tri-color LEDs
•Tight binning of LEDs insures consistent color rendering across panels
•Easy installation and connectivity using Neutrik® powerCON® and etherCON® connectors
•Solid construction makes these a perfect product for long-term installation
•Interchangeable panels create large wall designs
•Tri-color SMD3528 LEDs provide better image quality and wider viewing angle
•Tight pixel pitch allows for equally effective close range and long-range viewing
•Designed for touring and permanent indoor installation
•Use with PVP™ Rigging Clamp or Rigging Bars and integrated, interlocking hardware for
fast and easy setup
Additional
Products
•VIP™ Driver (required)
Optional
Accessories
•VIP™ Signal Distributor (required when using 25 PVP™s or more in your video wall)

The difference between each PVP™ model is the pixel pitch (space) between the
LEDs and the number of pixels (LEDs) in each row and column
. The basic housing
and components are identical. Refer to the previous PVP™ illustration.

Product Dimensions
Each PVP™ model in the series has the same outside housing dimensions.
PVP™ Pixels Per
Panel
Although each PVP™ has the same outer dimensions, the LED pixels per panel vary.
Each pixel is 1 SMD3528 tri-color
LED. The following table provides the pixels per panel
in each PVP™. The model number (i.e., S5
) indicates the pixel pitch in millimeters
between each light strip in that PVP™
model. For detailed specifications, refer to the
Technical Specifications table at the end of this User Manual.

You will use the number of pixels per panel and the screen resolution you would
like to use for your video wall display to calculate the number of panels,
horizontally and vertically, supported by a single VIP™
Driver. This Driver is
required to operate a CHAUVET® VIP™
video wall system. Diagrams of how the
PVP™ panels and the VIP™ Driver connect
follow later in this manual. For detailed
information about the VIP™
Driver and panel calculation examples, refer to the
VIP™ Driver Quick Reference Guide.

4. Mounting
Orientation
Each PVP™ is constructed of aluminum alloy and stainless steel. This ensures each
panel is stable and easy to install. Each panel also has a convenient built-
in handle
located on the top, underside of the panel. This handle enables you to easily pick up and
securely hold each panel while mounting and working with the panels.
The PVPs can be assembled to provide any number of modular designs. The panels on
the top can be securely hung from a truss or other stable surface. Always hang in a safe
position with adequate space for ventilation, configuration, and maintenance.
Chauvet recommends following the general guidelines below.
•When selecting an installation location, consider ease of access for operation and
routine maintenance.
•Make sure to hang away from any flammable material, as indicated in the Safety
Notes section.
•Never mount in places where rain, extreme temperature changes, or restricted
ventilation may affect it.
•Make sure that the structure to which you are hanging the panels can support the
weight.
See the Technical Specifications for the weight requirement of each PVP™.
