Tip: OUT1~OUT4 four ports of the controller corresponding to ports A, B, C, D in the control software.
Signal Port Number of Signal Divider: It represents the port ordinal of a group signal.
Please see the following picture: The port number of the group A signal SIG A1~A4 is 1~4 for the first
signal divider (SDV 1).When the signal cascaded from SDV1 to the next signal divider(SDV2),the port
number of the SDV2 will follow the SDV1. The port number of group A SIG A5~A8 is 5~8 for the SDV2. The
rest port number can be deduced by analogy if there has other signal cascade.
Each group signal of signal divider can be cascaded to thirty-two groups, thus can get up to 128 groups
signal (32×4=128), because each group input signal can be reproduced to 4 groups signal.
2.2Common Methods for Signal Cascade:
(1) Optical fiber signal input, signal cascaded by optical fiber cable
(2) Optical fiber signal input, signal cascaded by network cable.
Or network signal input, signal cascaded by optical fiber cable.
(3) Network signal input, signal cascaded itself by network cable.
Output port A1~A8, port number 1~8.
The port number of the first method and second method is same. The third method is also a common
signal cascade way.

Description: Each signal divider can receive up to two channels network signal or one channel optical
fiber signal of the VSP-F2L4 controller. The signal output by optical fiber port OUT1 is same as the sum of
network port OUT1and OUT2 from the controller as shown above picture.
Any serial output signal of the controller (OUT1~OUT4) can be connected to the SIG IN A port or SIG
IN B port of the signal divider.
SIG A1~SIG A4 are four groups signal which same as the SIG A, it means the ports SIG A1~SIG A4 are
copied from the signal of the port SIG IN A and each group signal can be used independently.

It is very important to correctly understand the port number for the intelligent address settings in the
control software. Please make sure select correct controller port and signal divider port before you start to set
the address as shown below picture.
You can only use the intelligent setting method to set the display address of the LED screen if there is
one or more signal divider connected with VSP-F2L4 controller. Please select correct controller port and
signal divider port , otherwise, you won't see the image change of the LED screen when you start the address
setting.
Each time can only set one signal divider output port's addresses of LED panels. Please remember to
rebuild a simulator diagram firstly when you set another port's addresses of LED panels.

3Function Introduction of Signal Divider
3.1 Signal Transformation
Use the optical fiber cable to arrive the optical signal from controller to transform as network signal
which makes signal transmission distance can be up to 10 kilometers.
3.2 Signal Distribution:
Signal divider can display the signal from controller segment. Each port can control one column (row) or
several columns (rows) LED screen as shown below picture, for detailed application see the later example 2,:
Backup signal:A2
3.3 Signal Hot Backup
Some of the signal divider port as the main signal input, others as the backup signal input, it makes the
screen has two channels input signals in real time at working .When one signal interrupted, another signal
will proceeded automatically , so as to guarantee the system's signal more stable. But the signal address of
the main signal and backup signal is reverse. For details stetting method please see the first example.
For the signal hot backup schemes,there is one LED screen, Port A1 as the main signal input port and
connect to the first LED panel's input, Port A2 as the backup signal input port and connect to the last LED
panel's output. Thereby ensuring there are main signal and backup signal on the screen at the same time.
4Application Example
Application Example 1: Hot backup signal function and address setting for signal divider (SDV08)
For example: LED screen IDsn3. size : 4mx3m , 8Column×6 Row ,
Requirement: Use Signal divider,included main signal and backup signal in this project. Below is the
detailed setup method and procedure. one LED panel(box) pixels density is 128×128 points and size is
0.5m×0.5m.
Step1: Analysis
We can calculate the resolution of the LED screen is 1024×768 according to the screen size. Port 1 and
Port 2 should be used according to the signal segmentation way of controller.
Transmit the signal from the optical port OUT1 of controller to the optical port of signal divider (You can
also use the network port OUT1 and OUT2 transmit the signal to port SIG A and SIG B). Signal divider port
A1/B1 as the main signal port of OUT1/OUT2 ，A2 /B2 as the backup signal port of OUT1/OUT2.
OUT1control the upper portion of the LED screen (8 columns and 3 rows of the top screen) OUT2 control
the lower portion of the LED screen (8 columns and 3 rows of the bottom screen)
The resolution of the LED screen whose size is 8 columns and 3 rows is 1024×384, so W=1024 and
H=384 in the control software.

Step4:Check the signal of signal divider
Please check whether the addresses setting is correct when you complete the addresses setting of main
signal and backup signal. Unplug the main signal cable and examine whether the backup signal transmission
display is correct. Unplug the backup signal cable and examine whether the main signal transmission display
is correct. You need also examine whether the LED screen showing a same image only working under the
main signal transmission or backup signal transmission.
Step5: Save
Please return to the parameter interface and click “Save” button when you have completed all of the
address settings. Otherwise, once you reboot the controller, the data for addresses setting will be lost and
