MCTRL4K LED Display Controller
User Manual 1Overview
1Overview
The MCTRL4K is an LED display controller with ultra-large loading capacity. A single
unit features a loading capacity of up to 4096×2160@60Hz. It supports any custom
resolutions with the maximum width or height up to 7680 pixels, meeting the on-site
configuration requirements of ultra-long or ultra-wide LED displays.
The MCTRL4K has many industry-leading advanced technologies:

Supports HDR function, both in HDR10 and HLG standards, which can greatly e
nhance the image quality of the display, presenting more clear and vivid images.
Supports individual Gamma adjustment for RGB when the bit depth of input s
ource is 10-bit or 12-bit, which effectively controls image non-uniformity under l
ow grayscale and white balance offset to improve image quality.
Low latency: Less than 1ms (when the start position of image is 0.)
Supports 3D function when working with the 3D emitter EMT200 and 3D glasses,
allowing you to experience 3D display effects.
In multi-card mode, the MCTRL4K can be used as two controllers, allowing the
images of two input sources to be displayed on the screen at the same time.
The MCTRL4K is stable, reliable and powerful, dedicated to providing abest visual ex
perience. It is can be mainly used for the fixed and rental applications, such as concer
ts, live events, security monitoring, Olympic Games and various sports centers.
