Precautions and process for setting up LED walls
The proper setup of the LED wall will not only enhance the viewing experience, but also get a more efficient return on investment, this article will discuss the precautions and setup process of the LED wall setup.
What is LED wall
LED wall is the use of multiple LED module splicing, and the formation of a huge LED display without gaps; the larger the LED wall the more ultra-high resolution, such as 8K, 16K, 32K and other ultra-high resolution;
LED wall of the higher the resolution, the wider the viewing angle it will be, which allows more viewers to watch the LED wall at the same time the display of the screen, so the LED wall is often applied in the Stadiums, concerts, station waiting workshop and so on.
What are the benefits of LED wall setup
LED wall setup, can make the whole LED wall has ultra-high pixel density, and then the color will be more accurate, can have more excellent immersive experience; LED wall brightness has adjustable, in the nighttime use can be adjusted through the light sensor brightness, so as to save more power costs;
LED wall using modular design in the later maintenance work will be more convenient, if there is a failure, you can only replace the single LED module, and then repair, this maintenance can reduce the LED wall in the maintenance time is too long, and the loss of asset returns.
What are the factors to consider when the LED wall setup
Budget
If you want to buy and setup an LED wall, you will need enough money. LED video walls come in many different pixel pitches, and the price of each pixel pitch will be different; there are also more or fewer driver functions in the pixel pitches, which will affect the cost price of the LED wall;
finally, you need to consider how big of a size the LED wall is to be purchased, and if you want to buy a bigger size LED wall, you will need a bigger budget. If you want to buy a larger size LED wall, you will need more budget, you also need to set aside some funds to pay for the cost of labor installation or other materials purchased and so on.
Return on Investment
LED wall of the average life expectancy of up to 100,000 hours, there is a very high level of protection, can be as high as IP65, can be effectively dustproof, waterproof, rain, sun, lightning and so on, these protective devices Proof of the entire display has a strong durability, LED wall of the long life and durability of the high so that the entire display can be used for a long time;
If the LED wall is used in commercial billboards, the LED wall’s high resolution and color accuracy and other advantages can present a more fascinating visual experience, so that the LED wall can attract more customers, but also to enhance brand awareness and overall image, thereby increasing the return on investment.
Location
setup the LED wall in a qualified location can make the audience more convenient to watch, but also need to confirm whether your LED wall can adapt to the current environment, so as not to affect the service life;
In short, there are only two locations where you can setup the LED wall, one is indoor, and the other is outdoor; if you want to set them up perfectly and appropriately, you also need to consider the spaciousness of the space, whether the LED wall will be blocked by the structure of the surrounding objects, and so on.
Starting to setup the LED wall
Purchase of raw materials
setup the LED wall we need to buy the appropriate materials, you can also directly with the LED manufacturer to buy the LED display has been assembled and configured, usually the LED manufacturer will be a square meter to calculate the price;
purchase has been assembled and configured LED display, after receiving the goods in accordance with the instruction manual can be directly and quickly spliced, you can save more time for installation.
You can also purchase all the accessories for a bulk LED wall, but this requires you to do it yourself or hire a hired laborer to splice and install it for you;
If you choose the second way, then you need to buy the following raw materials:
- Steel structure bracket
- LED modules
- LED cabinet
- LED power supply
- Video processor
- LED control card
- Power Cord
- Signal Cable
- Aviation Data Cable
Mounting Steel Structure
Measurement
Measure the size of the steel structure in the selected location to avoid too narrow to install the LED wall later.
Installation
Lay the steel structure on the horizontal ground for welding, and then you can use paint to coat the surface of the steel structure, which can effectively prevent corrosion and moisture, and make the steel structure more durable.
Test Stability
After installing the steel structure, you need to test the firmness of the steel structure to ensure the stability of the steel structure and prevent it from loosening or falling in the later installation process.
Splicing LED modules
After installing and testing the steel structure, the next step is to splice the LED module on the LED cabinet; use the screws to fix the LED cabinet on the steel structure, and in the process of fixing, you need to keep the LED module on the same level to realize a smoother display effect.
Finally, use the aviation data cable to connect the LED cabinets to each other, so that each LED cabinet can get the circuit, signal input and output.
Connecting Components
Power supply
Normally, one square meter of LED video wall will need two power supplies for power supply, first fix the power supply on the cabinet, then use the power cable to connect the power supply with the LED module, and then check whether the power cable is loose or not.
Control system
Purchase and use a high-quality control system, such as Novastar, Colorlight, etc., and the use of high-quality control systems, the benefits of using high-quality control systems, you can only install a control system in a square meter of LED video wall; and then use the signal cable to connect the control system with the LED module, and then check.
Video Processor
setup the LED wall also needs a video processor to carry out the image screen processing of the LED wall, the video processor can convert and optimize the video and image coming from the external equipment, which can achieve a clearer and smoother video, thus enhancing the audience’s immersive experience and so on.
Test LED video wall
Brightness check
After the above steps, a full inspection is needed again; first, the brightness display of the LED wall is checked:
All Firstly, observe the surface of the LED wall, check whether the lamp beads are accidentally knocked down during installation, if found, please replace them as soon as possible or ask professionals to repair them.
Secondly, connect the power supply, observe the whole display whether there is a dead light and light failure phenomenon; usually, buy a brand new LED display will not appear this situation, this situation occurs in the second-hand LED wall more.
Finally, observe whether the surface flicker, display flicker is easy to cause rapid eye fatigue, prolonged viewing will also affect the human body’s biological rhythms, such as in the night is easy to affect the quality of sleep and so on.
Color check
LED video wall panel in the setup, there may be display color inconsistencies, such as the color depth between the modules is not the same, will affect the overall viewing experience; but this situation can be avoided, as long as you buy the same batch of LED module production will not appear this color display differences.
Signal check
Previously in the installation of the power supply and control system has been checked whether the data line is loose, if there is still a signal interruption or does not show the situation, you can once again carry out the signal line with the signal navigation plug line check, or the cable and the signal source of the troubleshooting and so on.
Post-maintenance work
Regular cleaning
LED wall setup work has been basically completed, but do not ignore the late maintenance work; you can develop a cleaning program, every once in a while to go to the LED wall surface cleaning, etc., in the cleaning need to use a relatively soft fabric to gently wipe the surface dirt, or use fine bristles of the brush to sweep away the surface of the dust and so on.
Update system
Finally, you can log in the corresponding control card system software to carry out some of the configuration, such as Nova LCT software, you can find the latest version in the control panel of the loading program to update, the latest version can bring more new features, and performance enhancement, and can improve compatibility with other firmware.
The software configuration of the control card system allows you to manage the power supply, adjust and control the brightness according to your needs, and manage the audio connections and peripheral connections.
