1 Preface
With rapid development took places in LED display industry. LED displays are
being used everywhere. Pixel Pitch of LED is getting smaller, its size is getting bigger
customers’ requirements are become much harder to fulfill, thus companies like us are
born to save the day.
In these years, demand of led screen is taking a big step ahead. Now LED display
screen has become the main tool to display information and play the game live. It has
gradually replaced the traditional lighting and CRT backward display. In modern
stadiums and gymnasium, LED display screen has become a necessary component
facility. Outdoor billboard. In addition to the one single large indoor and outdoor LED
display screen used as advertising media in the past, the cluster LED display advertising
system and the train LED advertising display screen publishing system have been taken
into use and are widely promoted. Screen rental : concerts and indoor activities, indoor
and outdoor stage background, concerts, large events, opera houses, theaters, hotels,
auditoriums, multi-functional halls, lecture halls, conference rooms, high-end
entertainment places, discos, nightclubs, karaoke, etc. They are closely related to the
stage LED display screen. Exhibition:one of the most important services provided by the
exhibition organizers of the company, LED display large screen provides users with
their own brand culture and product use. There are also studios and monitoring rooms.
Nowadays, LED display screen plays an important role in broadcast and TV studio and
security surveillance room.
Display effect of LED screen is also required to be higher and higher, pixel-to-pixel
display is becoming more and more popular, and pixel-to-pixel display requires higher
and higher resolution for servers to decode high resolution videos. Then it requires the
configurations of the server and video material can support the output and play high-
resolution. Also, more and more LED screens. From single screen display to multi-
screen display, the management of multi-screen play of LED screen has always been a
difficulty. There are many players supporting single material broadcast on the market,
but there are few unified broadcast control managements for multi-screen. Software and
hardware integrated control and broadcast is in big need in the market.

2.9Screen Management
After materials are added into media library, now it’s time to decide which
kind of screen effect you want to achieve, no matter what , you will need to enter
screen management at first, it’s on the right upper corner of Canvas and it looks
like this
There are four concepts that you need to process before start:
Output
Number of connected extend display, you
got one display, then click plus once and then
you will be asked to map the connection
Wind
Number of layers, you can add multiple
according to you need and this is the simulation

on computer ,if you got an output, but one
screen, than you will not able to output content
Display port and screen mapping relation
editing
Here you need to match the output and the
screen you added, you can overlay multiple
screens onto one output and this one display
port will output content you put into screens,
here I added there screens, so that means this
one display port will be output three layers out,
or one ,depends on how you put materials.
Screen Actual Layout Editing
Here comes the fun and difficult part, here
you can rearrange the position and layout of
screen, it’s concept is kinda similar to clip but
different, basically it means you can rearrange
it to the way that your actual LED display look
like, I will show you an example.
Example：
