Christie Velvet LED Display System tiles are modular, high-quality image display units that can be configured to
achieve an HD display, depending on the pixel pitch of the tile being installed.
Each Christie E510 LED Display Controller can support a maximum number of tiles, which varies depending on the
pixel pitch of the tiles in the array. The configuration to achieve an HD display differs by the pixel pitch of the tile, as
outlined in the table below.

The E510 can work as a sending card or fiber converter, meeting multiple application needs.
• Scenario 1: Application of Sending Card mode
On the OLED menu screen, choose Working Mode > Sending Card. This mode uses the optical ports or
Gigabit Ethernet ports to output video signals.
10-bit/12-bit
1920×1080@60Hz
3G-SDI
Maximum supported input resolution: 1920×1080@60Hz.
3G-SDI input sources do not support input resolution and color depth settings.
The Gamma value can be adjusted for 8-bit input sources and cannot be adjusted for 10-bit or 12-bit
input sources.

• Scenario 2: Application of Fiber Converter mode
Set the working mode for the two devices respectively, as shown in the image below. Device 2 uses the
optical ports (for input/output) and Gigabit Ethernet ports (for output/input) to realize optical and electric
signal conversion, which allows for long-distance signal transmission.
• Scenario 3: Application of Dual-Output Working mode
Set the working mode for the two devices respectively, as shown in the image below. Device 1 uses the
optical ports and Gigabit Ethernet ports to output video signals at the same time.
