Panel Configuration

Panels are the individual LED modules that make up a screen. While the screen settings apply defaults to all panels, you can also configure panels individually.

Panel Types

Each panel type in the equipment library defines:

• Pixel Pitch — The distance between LED pixels (e.g., 2.5mm, 3.9mm)
• Pixel Resolution — The pixel dimensions of the panel (e.g., 128x128, 192x192)
• Physical Size — The physical dimensions in millimeters (e.g., 500x500mm)
• Max Wattage — Power consumption at full white
• Weight — Panel weight for structural calculations

Half Panels

For screens that don't perfectly divide into full panels, you can use half panels:

• Half-height rows — A row of panels at half the standard height, typically used at the top or bottom of a screen
• Half-width columns — A column of panels at half the standard width, used at the left or right edges

Half panel variants are automatically determined based on the selected panel type. The system checks the equipment library for compatible half-size variants.

Panel Shapes

Most panels are rectangular, but the system supports various shapes:

• Rectangle — Standard panel shape
• Rounded corners — Panels with radius corners for curved installations

The shape type is set at the panel type level and applies to all panels using that type.

Individual Panel Settings

Select a panel in any view to see its properties in the right panel:

• Pixel Size — Width and height in pixels
• Physical Size — Width, height, and depth in millimeters
• Position — Location within the screen grid
• Wiring Info — Which string and port the panel is assigned to
• Power — Wattage and circuit assignment
• Data Path Order — The panel's position in the data path sequence

Disabled Panels

Individual panels can be disabled (removed from the active configuration) without deleting them from the grid. Disabled panels:

• Appear with a red X on black background in visualization
• Are excluded from string assignment and pixel calculations
• Are excluded from BOM calculations
• Remain in the grid so you can re-enable them later

This is useful for L-shaped or irregular screen configurations where some grid positions don't have physical panels.

Power Configuration

Power settings can be configured globally and per-screen:

• Working Voltage — AC voltage at the venue (120V or 240V)
• Max Amps per Circuit — Circuit breaker rating

The system calculates:

• How many panels can share a single power circuit
• Total power consumption per screen
• Power path routing through the panel grid

See the Power Distribution sidebar panel for detailed circuit planning and visualization.
