KYstar KS9000 plicing processing platform
Multi-Screen Splicer Processor

This product is the first truly multi-window splicer in the industry, and as a
professional video processing and control equipment, it can act as a splicer controller
specially targeting such equipment as oversized screens, projection and LCD.
The multi-window splicer processor researched and developed by our company
uses a pure FPGA hardware architecture subject to no operating system and the
whole system can work in a completely closed environment, so it features simple
operation and high stability.
It has been widely used in monitoring/dispatching command centers and video
conference centers, etc.
As the management software designed for this platform, the user can complete
parameter settings and operation management of hardware equipment by means of
this software and the whole operating process is completely intuitive and convenient.
It is applicable to such operating systems as Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows
8 and Windows 10.
The following instructions are all based on the operating system of Windows 7
as an example.

Wait until the system pops up the following information and it indicates that the
installation is successful:
Till now, the software has been completely installed; double-click the software
shortcut icon on the computer desktop to enter the software Settings interface.
III. Equipment Connection
1. Software open
Double-click the software shortcut on the desktop to open the software and it
will enter the software start page as shown in the figure below:

For the first use, there is no password so just click “OK” directly; if a user
password has been set, the software control/setting will not be accessible unless the
correct password has been entered.
Click “OK”to enter the software main interface as shown in the figure below:
2. Software connect
Click “Equipment”, select “Video Wall”, then click “Equipment Connect” and it
will pop up the “Communicate Setting” window as shown in the figure below:

This software has “Net Connect”and “COM Connect”available; when different
“Connect”modes are selected, different preparations will be necessary.
(1) Select the “NET Connect”.
I. Wiring
Use a CAT5 network cable and connect its two ends to the processor LAN port
and the PC network port respectively (or connect via a switchboard).
II. Change the local access IP
In the operating system of Windows 7, click “Start →Control Panel →View
Network Tasks →Change Adapter Settings” to find out the LAN and you can right
click it to select properties.
Double-click the Internet protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4) to change
corresponding data.
Note: If the equipment IP is segment 0 by default and the IPs of other equipment
can be ensured within the same field and numbered differently, proper access is
available. If you want to change the IP network segment, you need to change it in the
current software settings.

III. Set up communications
During software communication, select the “NET Connect”, directly click “OK”,
and if the connection is successful, it will pop up an information box as shown in the
figure below; then just click “OK”.

(2) Select “COM Connect”.
I. Wiring
Connect both ends of the RS230-RJ11 cable attached to the processor COM1
port and the PC serial port respectively (if there is no 9-pin serial port, a serial
port-USB adapter shall be used to change it into a USB which can be connected to
the PC USB port).
II. Change the COM port
During software communication, select “COM Connect”:
In general, the software can identify the COM port automatically and the user
can just click “OK”with no setting necessary. But in some cases, a PC may have
several COM port working at the same time to result in software identification error;
then, you need to select a COM port (Please try one by one).
III. Set up communications
During software communication, select the “NET Connect”, directly click “OK”,
and if the connection is successful, it will pop up an information box as shown in the
figure below; then just click “OK”.

IV. Software Settings
1. Output port settings
After the equipment is successfully connected, click on the “Screen Config
Setting”in the “Main Functional Area” and it will pop up the “Screen Config
Setting”interface; the six dotted boxes feature one-to-one correspondence to the
equipment output ports (from left to right from the rear) and you can set the load of
each output port and the arrangement modes of such output ports on this interface as
shown in the figure below:

The “Screen Resolution” refers to the maximum resolution each port can output
and is generally greater than or equal to the resolution of each transmitter card or
display screen.
The “Row”and “Column”can be set as required, the “1920”and “1080”after
“Screen Resolution”can be changed freely according to the actual loaded pixels,
double-click such numerical values and you can change them.
For example: If the screen size is 6016 * 2080 with six transmitter cards loaded,
then the loading scale and arrangement should be determined as shown in the figure
below:

Then, you need to complete such settings as follows in the interface of “Screen
Config Settings”:
P: If “All Screen Brightness Syn”is checked, it indicates that the following
modifications of the color values target all output ports but if not, you can adjust the
color of a single output port.
Set the arrangement modes and loaded pixels of the output port and then click
