Chapter1 Overview
1.1 Product introduction
The screen splicing processor is a high-performance video image processing workstation
with pure hardware architecture and no operating system. It can display multiple dynamic
images on multiple screens to realize multi-window splicing. Designed for high-quality
display of multiple screens, especially for flexible control of different types of screens and
resolutions. Applicable to education and scientific research, government announcements,
information publishing, administrative management, exhibition display, security monitoring,
home appliance sales and other industries.
The screen splicing processor is available in a variety of models, each of which can be
configured with a variety of different sizes. The maximum output size can support 144 large
screen splicing displays, while supporting multi-component large screens with different
resolutions. The resolution of the group can be customized according to actual needs.
The screen splicing processor supports a variety of source input modes, including composite
video (DVD or camera signal), computer signal (VGA or DVI signal), high-definition digital
signal (HDMI or high-resolution DVI signal). For computer video signals, it is compatible with
a variety of common resolutions and can be customized for unconventional resolution. It can
output DVI-I signal or twisted pair digital signal, support RGB (analog) / DVI (digital)
simultaneous output, and some models also support dual DVI-I channel backup.
1.2 Screen display characteristics
Multiple sets of large screen unified control
With RRTA (Resolution Real-Time Full Compatibility) technology, a single processor can
simultaneously control multiple sets of large screens with different resolutions.
Support multiplier line processing
Signals of different resolutions can be uniformly processed to output signals of the same
resolution.
Support picture roaming
The output screen can be displayed on any one or more large screens, and the screen
display has no boundary restrictions on the area.
Support multi-screen split display
Each output channel can display up to 16 screens of CVBS analog video.
Support screen arbitrary zoom

C10M Series Splicing Controller User Manual
2
There is no scale limitation when the screen is zoomed out, and the screen can be enlarged
to fill the entire field of view.
Support for arbitrary overlay of pictures
The hierarchical relationship and layout position of each picture can be arbitrarily
customized, independent of each other and the size of the image space.
Support screen partial enlargement
It helps users to efficiently view key area information in images.
Support any signal cutting function
The device supports the edge-cutting and cropping functions of analog video signals and
high-resolution digital signals, which can perfectly solve the black-edge problem generated
by front-end signals (especially non-standard camera output signals).
Support for screen anomaly correction
The offset image is normally displayed on the large screen, and the image correction of the
abnormal image is easily realized.
1.3 Functional characteristics
Board hot swap
Support board hot swap, failure or abnormality of any module will not affect the normal
operation of the entire system
Support seamless switching
There is no black field interval when the signal is switched.
Support power redundancy hot backup
Once a power supply fails, the device will automatically enable redundant power to achieve
uninterrupted operation of the device.
Support input port EDID editing
The compatibility of large-screen display devices is greatly improved, so that the device
output signals can be adapted to various conventional and unconventional applications.
Support for multiple scene saves and automatic polling
Easy to switch quickly and view important scenes in real time.
Support high resolution basemap pre-existing
Multiple ultra-high resolution static "point-to-point" basemaps can be stored to meet more
professional display needs.
Support for character overlay

C10M Series Splicing Controller User Manual
3
Supports the function of character superimposition on the input signal channel, which is
convenient for the user to grasp the source of the signal in real time.
Support input signal preview function
Real-time monitoring of all input signals prevents the operator from displaying the wrong
signal on the large screen.
1.4 Control management
Support user rights management
Different users and privilege levels can be set, different allowed operations and restricted
operations can be defined, and the technical level restriction management of the operator's
privilege can be realized.
Support dedicated keyboard control
The device can be managed and controlled through a special security-specific keyboard,
which can complete all daily operations conveniently and quickly.
Support large screen joint control
Built-in mainstream large-screen switch control protocol on the market, can be customized
to integrate new large-screen switch control protocol according to actual needs.
Support splicing processor and matrix joint control
The PC-side control software can additionally control up to 4 traditional matrix switchers,
and the integrated matrix control protocol can be customized according to actual needs.
Support remote network control
Management software can not only manage devices in the LAN, but alsoThe online device of
the remote network can be remotely managed through the IP network.
