Chapter 8 5AF Asynchronous Content Admin

The 5AF Receiving Card is the perfect combination of the synchronous mode
and the asynchronous mode, which may be online used in the synchronous mode or
offline used in the asynchronous mode. For the synchronous use, switch it to the
offline content real time if the network cable is interrupted or any failure takes place
for the computer, to ensure the display screen is played without the interruption.

I. Parameter Setting
To play the offline content automatically under the condition that the network is
interrupted, it is necessary to implement the setting as follows: Click Control
Screen > Screen Management > Configure Selected Screen Parameters, and select
Play Offline Content in No Signal Action, as well as save and send it to the Receiving
Card (as shown in Figure 8-1).

Chapter 10 Color Correct of LED Screen

I. Introduction to Manual Color Correct Technology
The so-called Manual Color Correct Technology is the Brightness Level Correct
Technology of the LED screen. The brightness difference of LED during the
production and different levels of brightness decay during the use will cause the
overall brightness level of the LED screen and have a serious effect on the display
effect of the LED screen. The Manual Color Correct is to provide each color of pixels
with a brightness adjustment factor, and the LED screen will adjust its brightness by
the factor during the display, to provide the uniform brightness display for the whole
screen. The Manual Color Correct Technology is to get the correct factor for each
color of pixels in the scientific way. At present, it will collect the brightness when
LED displays in red, green and blue, by which to calculate the correct factor of each
point by means of a certain algorithm.

II. Correct in Parameter Setting of Receiving Card

Click the Control Screen > Screen Management main menu, to go into the
Screen Management window. Click Configure Parameters of Selected Screen, and
input the password as 168, to pop up the Configure Parameter window (as shown in
Figure 10-1).
Select Allow Correction from the screen parameters, and send the parameters to
the Receiving Card.

Click the Control Screen > Manual Color Correct > Manual Correction main
menu, and input the password as 168, and then click OK, to go into the Manual
Correction window (as shown in Figure 10-2).
It will display the coefficient at the lower part of the window, which will display
the coefficient of various points in red, green and blue respectively. Double click
some coefficient to modify its value. It will display various operations of the
coefficient at the upper part of the window. The following will explain it in details:
Import/Export: The import is to import the coefficient from the file, which
supports the .ccCoef file generated by this software and the .vu3 file generated by the
VU correction system, and the export is to export the coefficient as the .ccCoef file.

52

 Import/Export by Card and Area: It can support the operation of the local data
and have no effect on the data out of the area. The area is the control area of some
card or any set area value.

Send to Selected Card/All Receiving Cards: Save the coefficient file to the
Receiving Card.
Select Card Area: Select the area controlled by some Receiving Card.
Modify Coefficient: It will modify the value of the selected part in the table
when you modify the value in the edit box, and the button -10, -5, -1, +1, +5 and +10
will increase and decrease the selected part by the factor -10, -5, -1, +1, +5, +10 and
the percent value.

 Modify Screen: Here are five options. If you select Normal, it will not modify
the screen, if you select Red, it will display red in the full screen. In this way, it will
display corresponding color if you select Green, Blue and White.

Deployment of Camera
1) The camera is placed over the PTZ, and the PTZ is placed about 10 15m
in the right front of the LED screen, and the camera faces to the LED
screen, to ensure the display screen is within the shooting range of the

54

camera and the height of the camera is of the same height for the LED
screen center roughly.
2) Click the LED Photo Taking button (see the figure below to select the
button), so that the camera is in the Photo Taking state, and judge whether
it is set successfully by observing whether it displays the real-time screen
of the camera in the LED screen (you can close the Photo Taking when
you use the software for Photo Taking). It is taken successfully when it
displays the real-time screen (as shown in Figure 10-3).

Figure 10-3 Shooting

3) Select the Photo Taking mode as the manual mode (M pointed to by the
arrow in the figure), and rotate the switch to align M with the white - of
the circle in the figure below (as shown in Figure 10-4).
4) Adjust the focus, so that the whole LED screen fills with the shooting area
of the camera as much as possible.
55

5) Connect the camera to PC by the data cable.

Camera Assisted Color Correction Procedure

Click the Control Screen > Manual Color Correct > Camera Assisted Color

Correction main menu to pop up the following dialog box, and input the password as
168, to go into the Camera Assisted Color Correction main interface. Click
Camera Assisted Color Correction in the main interface to connect with the camera,
and you can configure various parameters of the camera, and get the real-time photo
taking of the camera (as shown in Figure 1-5).
Step 1: Camera Adjustment

56

Figure 10-5 Camera Assisted Color Correction

To take the clear photo properly, you can adjust the parameters of the camera as
follows:
AE (Automatic Exposure) Mode: It is determined when you set the photo
taking mode. Here, it shall be the manual mode (namely, M).
Tv (Shuttle): It is the exposure time. The less the value, the shorter the
exposure time is and the darker the photo is.
Av (Aperture): It is the aperture size. The less the value, the larger the
aperture size is and the brighter the photo is.
ISO (Sensitivity): The lower the ISO, the darker the photo is and the more
delicate the quality of screen is.

57

 View Adjustment: Click Zoom to zoom in the photo in the photo taking area,
so as to view the photo clearly.
Focus Adjustment: Adjust the focus of the camera, so that the photo is clearer.
Focus Position Adjustment: Adjust the the position of focus frame for the
camera, so that the focus frame is located at the right center of the LED screen.
Step 2: Preparation for Photo Taking
If the LED screen is large, the photo will be taken by area. Click Setting to set
the width and height of one photo taking in the capture area.

Figure 10-6 Setting of Photo Taking Area

Select one folder to store the photo (the postfix is cr2) and the intermediate file
generated for the coefficient (the postfix is ccc).
Step 3: Photo Taking
Click Start to Take, and select Take RGB Photo to display the continuous photos
in red, green and blue and generate the intermediate file of the coefficient
automatically. After the photo is taken, it will generate four photo files (.CR2) and
three intermediate files of the coefficient (.ccc) in the folder automatically. Select

58

Take to take the single color, and then generate the intermediate file of the coefficient
(.ccc) by the manual extraction.
After one area is taken, click Previous and Next to switch the Photo Taking area,
and click Switch to switch the Photo Taking color. After all areas are taken, it will
generate a large number of the photo files and the coefficient files in the folder
automatically, such as:
B_c0_r0_x0_y0_w128_h96.CR2
b_c1_r1_x128_y96_w128_h96.ccc
The generated file name corresponds to the photo taken from various areas. The
detailed definition is shown as in the table below.

If it prompts you fail, you can go into the Manual Extraction (as show in Figure
10-7).

Figure 10-7 Manual Extraction

Open the photo to observe whether the taken photo is complete and the taken
pixel is too dark or bright by clicking Zoom In and Zoom Out or dragging the mouse
directly. If the effect is poor, it is suggested to return the Photo Taking interface to
take it again. Click Get Coefficient, to extract the response coeeficient of each pixel,
and save it into the photo folder as the .ccc file. At the same time, it will display the
effect diagram of corresponding Get Coefficient in the interface (as shown in Figure
10-8).

Of which, the pixels limited by the white frame indicate the coefficient of this
point is gotten successfully. Click Batch Generation, to get the coefficient of several
CR2 files for one time.
