1、Foreword
With the rapid development of the LED industry, LED displays are used in a
variety of places. The dot pitch of LEDs is getting smaller and smaller, the size is getting
bigger, the display effect is getting better, and the display requirements are becoming
more and more complicated.
In recent years, the demand for display screens is also increasing. 1. Stadiums:
Nowadays, LED display screens have gradually replaced traditional lighting and CRT
backward display screens as the main means of game information display and game live
broadcast. LED displays have become a must-have game facility in modern stadiums. 2.
Outdoor advertising: In addition to the single large indoor and outdoor LED displays
used as advertising media, cluster LED display advertising systems and train LED
advertising display release systems have also been adopted and are being widely
promoted. 3. Stage rental: indoor and outdoor stage backgrounds, concerts, large events,
large opera houses, theaters, hotels, auditoriums, multifunctional halls, lecture halls,
conference rooms, high-end entertainment venues, disco bars, night clubs, karaoke
rooms, etc. ... these are inextricably linked to the stage LED display. 4. Exhibition: As
one of the important services provided by the company's corporate exhibition organizer,
the LED display large screen provides customers with their own brand culture and
product use. There are also studios and monitoring rooms. Today, LED display screens
also play a very important role in radio and television studios and security monitoring
rooms.
The display effect of LED screens is also getting higher and higher. The point-to-point
display is deeply rooted in people ’s hearts. The point-to-point display has higher and
higher requirements for the resolution of servers and video materials. Then it requires
the configuration of the server and the player of the video material to support super-
resolution output and playback.
The number of LED screens is increasing. From the original single-screen display to
multi-screen display, multi-screen playback management of LED screens has always
been a difficult point. Many players on the market support single-player playback, but
they are unified for multiple screens. There are very few playback control managements,
and there is an urgent need for software and hardware that integrates control and
playback in the market

3、F2 Hardware debugging
3.1、F2 Connection settings
3.1.1、DVI-Monitor
The unique 4 + 1 channel output of the F2 server breaks the restriction that traditional
servers must be left all the way to monitor. F2 has a separate DVI monitor port and is bound to
the main display by default.
Note: When the output is not connected to DVI-monitor, other DP output ports are not the
main display. You need to select a screen as the main display in the display settings.
3.1.2、DP Output
F2 has 4 DPs, which can all be used for output. It can be connected with the back-end
splicer, supports multiple modes of vertical splicing, horizontal splicing, and field splicing,
supports custom resolution, and can be arbitrarily selected according to demand.
3.1.3、SDI/DVI Input (optional)
F2 has two sets of SDI / DVI capture card inputs, supporting simultaneous capture of two DVI,
two SDI, or one DVI and one SDI (one DVI and one SDI cannot be in the same group).
Supports camera, notebook, broadcasting system and other external equipment signal acquisition.
