Equipment Library
LED.FYI includes a built-in equipment library with specifications for video processors, LED panels, and fiber switches from major manufacturers.
Processors
Brompton Tessera S8
- Outputs: 8x 1G Ethernet

Megapixel Helios
- Outputs: 8x 10G Fiber trunks + direct 1G Ethernet (mixed-output)
- Use case: High-bandwidth installations requiring maximum pixel capacity
- Features: Very high pixel capacity per output, supports both trunk and direct output modes
Novastar NovaPro UHD Jr
- Outputs: 16x 1G Ethernet
- Use case: Novastar ecosystem installations
Novastar VX1000
- Outputs: 10x 1G Ethernet
- Use case: Mid-range Novastar installations
Mixed-Output Processors
Some processors have both 10G trunk outputs and direct 1G Ethernet outputs. These mixed-output processors let you choose how to connect to panels:
- 10G Trunks + Switches — Use the 10G fiber ports with trunk switches that fan out to 1G panel connections. Best for large installations with many panels.
- Direct 1G — Bypass switches entirely and connect panels directly to the processor's 1G ports. Simpler cabling for smaller setups.
The output mode is selected in the Processor panel when using a mixed-output processor. Currently, the Megapixel Helios is the primary mixed-output processor in the library.
Pixel Capacity
Each processor's pixel capacity per output varies with bit depth and frame rate. Higher bit depth or frame rate reduces the number of pixels each output can drive. Typical ranges:
| Configuration | Capacity Range |
|---|---|
| 8-bit / 30Hz | Highest capacity |
| 10-bit / 60Hz | Standard capacity |
| 12-bit / 60Hz | Reduced capacity |
| 10-bit / 120Hz | Significantly reduced |
The exact values are processor-specific and displayed in the Processor panel when you select a processor and operating parameters.
Panel Types
The library includes panels from multiple manufacturers with pixel pitches ranging from approximately 1.9mm to 3.9mm. Key brands include:
- Absen — A3 Pro (3.9mm), PL2.5 (2.5mm), and others
- AOTO — M2 series and others
- GalaxyLED — MLS360 (1.9mm) and others
- ROE Visual — Various models
- Unilumin — Various pitches
Each panel type includes pixel resolution, physical dimensions, weight, and maximum power draw.
Switches
For processors with 10G fiber trunk outputs, compatible switches convert the 10G trunk into multiple 1G outputs for individual panel connections. The library includes switches compatible with each processor type.
Switch specifications include:
- Total output port count
- Bandwidth capacity
- Processor compatibility
Using the Library
The equipment library is integrated into the app:
- Wizard — Browse processors and panels during project setup
- Sidebar — Select equipment from dropdown menus with search
- Auto-calculation — Pixel limits, string counts, and BOM are computed from library data
All specifications are sourced from manufacturer documentation. If your panel isn't listed, you can submit it to the community library from the Library page.
