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.

Understand how to calculate the resolutions for the LED display tile array.
• The maximum vertical and horizontal resolutions may vary. Contact Christie Technical Support if required.
• 8 bit sources (30Hz - 120Hz)—All resolutions from 640 x 480 to 1920 x 1200 refer to standard resolutions
selectable within the Christie E510 LED Display Controller software.
• 8 bit sources (30Hz - 60Hz)—Resolutions 2048 x 1152 and 2560 x 960
• 10/12 bit sources (30Hz - 60Hz)—All resolutions from 640 x 480 to 1440 x 900
• Custom resolutions are accepted by following the formula below. Custom input is restricted to Single Link
DVI/HDMI, using a recommended 94% of the pixels.
The maximum bandwidth of each output is 1Gbit/second, and is calculated with this formula:
Pixel Number x Frame Rate x (Red bit depth + Green bit depth +Blue bit depth)
8bit calculation
1G = Pixel Num x Frame Rate x (8+8+8)
10bit calculation
1G = Pixel Num x Frame Rate x (10+10+10)
12bit calculation
1G = Pixel Num x Frame Rate x (12+12+12)
For example, the 10 bit calculation for a 60Hz DVI signal is:
• 1G = Pixel Number x 60 x (10+10+10)
• Pixel Number: 555,555 x 94% = 522,221 pixels
• Multiply the number of pixels by the number of ports: 522,221 x 4 = 2,088,884
Verify the cabling between tiles is mapped correctlyand adjust as necessary.
