3. OPERATING DETERMINATIONS
The flexible displays of the LSD series, quipped with extremely bright tri-color RGB LEDs, type
SMD 5050,
were specially designed for projection of videos and graphics synchronous to the computer. The
dispalys are made of bendable and foldable PVC material and can be easily suspended from
truss systems. The modular design allows the horizontal and vertical built-up of video screens,
indoor and outdoor. Control is via special PC software and network components (optionally
available).
This product is only allowed to be operated with the voltage given on the type plate.
This device is splash-proof (IP 44) and therefore qualified for indoor and outdoor use. For outdoor
use, the installer must always make sure to connect a rubber cable HO5RR-F. All valid
instructions concerning the installation of cables outdoors or in the ground must be adhered!
The ambient temperature must always be between -10° C and +45° C. Keep away from direct
insulation (particularly in cars) and heaters. The maximum relative humidity is 100 % with an
ambient temperature of 25° C. This device must only be operated in an altitude between -20 and
2000 m over NN.
Do not shake the device. Avoid brute force when installing or operating the device.
Before installing the system, make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load
of 4 times the system's load (e.g. weight 20 kg -point load 80 kg).
For overhead use (mounting height >100 cm), always secure the installation with an appropriate
secondary safety element (e.g. steel rope).
Make sure the area below the installation place is cordoned off when rigging, derigging or
servicing the device.
Do not connect displays to the mains while they are folded.
The F-symbol means: this device can be installed on normal inflammable surfaces.
The symbol determines the minimum distance from lighted objects. The minimum
distance between light output and the illuminated surface must be more than the given value.
The maximum ambient temperature Ta must never be exceeded.
Never use solvents or aggressive detergents in order to clean the device! Rather use a soft and
damp cloth.
Please consider that unauthorized modifications on the device are forbidden due to safety
reasons!
If this device will be operated in any way different to the one described in this manual, the product
may suffer damages and the guarantee becomes void. Furthermore, any other operation may
lead to dangers like shortcircuit, burns, electric shock, lamp explosion, etc.

4. COMPONENTS OF A DISPLAY
e following describes all the components needed to operate an LED display. Some of the components are
used for other products as well.
1. Suspension point
2. Support bar
3. Data signal inputs (15-pin DIN plugs) for connec-
tion to the AIO network interface/receiver interface or
the previous display (number varies for each model)
4. Power cable for connection to a power outlet (90
- 260 V ~, 50/60 Hz) via the power plug or to the
feedthrough output of a previous display via the 2-pin
plug
5. 2-pin jack for the power supply (5 V DC) of the
AIO network interface/receiver interface
6. Front of the display, equipped with
tri-color RGB LEDs, type SMD 5050
7. Press buttons and hook-and-loop connectors
8. Feed-through output (2-pin jack with cap under the
protective cover) for power supply of the subsequent
display
9. Data signal outputs (15-pin DIN jacks) for connect-
ing a subsequent display
(number varies for each model)
10. Belts with hook, have combined
Working Load Limit (WLL) of 79 lbs (36 kg)

4.2 All-in-one network control system LED Show T9
AIO network interface and control soware LED Show T9
is complete set consisting of network interface and the control soware [LED Show T9] allows for control
of the displays together with a Windows PC and a gigabit ethernet network card (1000 Mbps). is system
does not require a further video card with DVI output, which makes it ideally suitable for mobile use with a
notebook. e transmission of the data signals with a screen resolution of up to 1280 x 1024 pixels from the
computer to the network interface is done via the supplied network cable. If needed, a standard CAT5e
network cable up to 100 meters long may be used.
For connecting displays the network interface oers eight data signal outputs, each allows control of 128
(width) x 16 (height) pixels. So one network interface can control 128 (width) x 128 (height) pixels in total. A
conguration with 256 (width) x 128 (height) pixels is also possible, however, results in a lower grayscale
resolution and data refresh rate. To built-up a large video wall with several displays (up to 1280 (width) x
1024 (height) pixels are possible), the network interfaces can be connected in series via network cables.
Minimum system requirements
• Windows 2000/XP
• Dual-core CPU >1.8 GHz
• >1 GB disk space
• Separate gigabit ethernet connection (1000 Mbps)
• 1024 x 768 screen resolution
Recommended system requirements
• 2.9 GHz dual-core CPU
• 4 GB disk space
• Realtek network card with RTL chip

4.3 Network control system LED Studio
Receiver interface and PCI sending card or external DVI sending
card, each with LED Studio control soware
Control system consisting of receiver interface and PCI sending card with the control soware [LED Studio].
Contrary to the all-in-one network control system [LED Show T9], a computer with DVI output card and dual
display mode is required. e DVI output is connected to the sending card DVI input and then transmitted to
the receiver interface via the ethernet connectors. Alternatively to the PCI sending card a sending card with
external housing is available which makes the system perfect for rental use and mobile applications.
For connecting displays the receiver interface oers eight data signal outputs, each allows control of
128 (width) x 16 (height) pixels. So one receiver interface can control 128 (width) x 128 (height) pixels in
total. A conguration with 256 (width) x 128 (height) pixels is also possible, however, results in a lower
grayscale resolution and data refresh rate. To built-up a large video wall with several displays (up to 1280
(width) x 1024 (height) pixels are possible), the receiver interfaces can be connected in series via network
cables.
Minimum system requirements
• Windows 98/me/2000/NT/XP/Vista/ 7
• Video card with dual display mode and DVI output
• Free PCI slot
• Free USB port
Recommended system requirements
• 1024 x 768 screen resolution
• 2.9 GHz dual-core CPU
• 4 GB disk space
