Custom Resolutions

While most screens use standard panel types from the equipment library, you can customize pixel and physical dimensions for special cases.

Custom Panel Sizes

If your panels aren't in the equipment library, you can manually set:

  • Pixel width and height — The resolution of each panel in pixels
  • Physical width and height — The dimensions in millimeters
  • Depth — Panel depth for 3D visualization

These values override the defaults from the panel type when set per-panel.

Output Resolutions

Video outputs can be set to any resolution. Common choices include:

ResolutionUse Case
1920x1080HD — most common for LED walls
3840x21604K UHD
1920x1200WUXGA
CustomAny width x height to match specific processor configurations

Screen Dimensions vs. Output Dimensions

It's important to understand the relationship between these:

  • Screen resolution = Grid width x Panel pixel width, Grid height x Panel pixel height. This is the total pixel count of the LED wall.
  • Output resolution = The video signal resolution going into the processor. Surfaces are sized and positioned within this space.
  • Mapping = How the screen's pixels map to positions within the output. This is configured in the LED Mapping view.

A screen's total resolution doesn't need to match the output resolution. A single output can drive multiple screens, or a large screen can span multiple outputs. The mapping view lets you arrange things however your processor requires.
