LED Mapping View

The LED Mapping view shows how your LED panels map to the processor. This is the primary view for understanding how pixel data flows from video sources 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
• Wire editing — Enter manual wiring mode for data (Cable icon) or power (Zap icon) connections

Context Menu

Right-click a panel to open the context menu. The header shows the panel name along with its data port assignment (green) and power circuit assignment (orange).

Available options include:

• Enable/Disable — Toggle panel visibility (disabled panels show as blank space)
• Assign to Processor — Move panels to a different processor canvas
• Re-assign Circuit Label — Available on the first panel of a power circuit. Lets you override the auto-assigned label (e.g., swap C1 and C3). See Re-assigning Circuit Labels for details.
• Select Group / Select All Screen Panels — Quick selection for split-group screens

Relationship to Outputs

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