Adding Screens

Screens are the core building blocks of your LED project. Each screen represents a physical LED wall made up of a grid of panels.

Creating a Screen

In the Screens sidebar panel, click the + button. You can create:

  • Blank Screen — An empty grid that you configure from scratch
  • From Template — Duplicate an existing screen's settings

Screen Settings

Name

Give each screen a descriptive name (e.g., "Main Wall", "Side Left", "Floor Screen"). This name appears in all views and export documents.

Grid Dimensions

Set how many panels wide and high your screen is using the grid controls. You can resize the grid in any direction using the directional buttons — adding or removing rows and columns from any edge.

Panel Type

Select a panel type from the equipment library. This sets the default pixel resolution, physical size, and power rating for all panels in the screen. You can search by brand name or model number.

When you change the panel type, all panels in the screen update to match the new specifications.

Processor Canvas Assignment

Assign the screen to a processor canvas. This determines which processor will drive the screen and affects string assignment calculations.

Screen Color

Each screen is assigned a color for visual identification across views. Click the color swatch to change it. Colors are used in the LED mapping view and other visualizations to distinguish between screens.

Duplicating Screens

Click the duplicate button on any screen to create a copy with identical settings — same grid size, panel type, wiring configuration, and power settings. The new screen gets a unique name and can be independently modified.

Linking to Surfaces

Each screen can be linked to a surface instance, which determines what video content appears on it. Use the surface link dropdown in the screen settings to connect a screen to a surface on a specific output.

Deleting Screens

Click the trash icon to remove a screen. This also removes all associated panels and any string assignments for that screen.

Screen Order

Screens are listed in the sidebar in creation order. The order affects how they appear in export documents and the BOM.
