LED Mapping View

The LED Mapping view shows how your LED panels map to the processor canvas. This is the primary view for understanding how pixel data flows from video outputs through the processor to your screens.

Overview

The mapping canvas represents the processor's output space. Panels from all screens assigned to a processor are arranged within this space, showing their position relative to the video output grid.

Navigation

• Pan — Click and drag on empty space
• Zoom — Scroll wheel or toolbar controls
• Fit — Frame all content on the canvas

Panel Operations

• Select — Click individual panels, or drag a selection box for multiple panels
• Move — Drag selected panels to reposition them on the canvas
• Nudge — Arrow keys for 1px movement, Shift+Arrow for 10px

Visualizations

The mapping view offers several visualization modes:

Color Coding

Panels can be color-coded by:

• Screen — Each screen has a distinct color
• String/Port — Colors show which output port each panel is assigned to
• Power Circuit — Colors indicate power distribution grouping

Data Path

The data path overlay shows:

• Arrows connecting panels in their wiring sequence
• String numbers at the start of each string
• Panel coordinates (e.g., A1, B2) based on grid position

Port Capacity

Port utilization bars show how much of each output port's pixel capacity is used, making it easy to identify overloaded or underutilized ports.

Toolbar

The mapping view toolbar provides:

• Auto-Pack — Automatically arrange all screens to minimize wasted space
• Zoom controls — Zoom in, out, and fit-to-screen
• View toggles — Show/hide various overlays and labels

Context Menu

Right-click on panels or empty space for additional options:

• View panel details
• Edit wiring connections
• Jump to string assignment
• Select all panels in a screen

Relationship to Outputs

The canvas layout (set in the Processor Canvas panel) determines how outputs are arranged. A 2x1 layout, for example, creates a canvas that's two output widths wide and one output height tall. Panels positioned within each output region will receive data from that output.
