IV. Setup of output image
The following setps must be made by relevant qualified
technicians. For ordinary users, unless they have received adequate
relevant training, they shall not attempt the following setup
operations!
1. LedSync820C output image
LedSync820C output images from VGA OUT and DVI OUT in
the format: 1024768 pixels, with refresh frequency of 60Hz.
However, the resolution of LED screen is not exactly 1024768
pixels. When the resolution of LED screen is less than 1024768
pixels, we can set LedSync820C to output the images exactly fitting
the resolution of LED screen, so that the LED could display a full frame
of image. See the schematic diagram below:

As above figure shows: the size and location of LedSync820C
output images are defined by 4 groups of parameters:
Name
Description
Hor_Str
The horizontal start position of output image
Hor_Width
The horizontal width of output image
Vert_Str
The vertical start position of output image
Vert_Height

2. Setup of LedSync820C output image
LedSync820C can setup its output image by operating the buttons
on frontal panel. After LedSync820C is started up, all buttons on frontal
panel are in operation mode. As above section III.2 describes, if you
press STD button for continuous 18 times, LedSync820C will enter
setup state, and all buttons on frontal panel are ready to be in setup
mode. See the table below for the definitions of each button:

it again, LedSync820C will exit setup state
and enter operation state.
Select step value 1 or 10

Notes:
a) Generally Hor_Str0. If you need modify it, the value of
Hor_Str can be setup to be 8 ;

c) Generally, the start coordinates of output image (Hor_Str ,
Vert_Str ) should be identical to the start coordinates of the
input image that LED transmission card captured;
d) The resolution of output image can be adjusted to the lowest 8
8 pixels;
e) The output image shall not exceed the output area of 1024
768 pixels;
f) While the current video image of LedSync820C is valid image,
the video color can be adjusted;
g) The custom video color is only accessible by pressing
DEF button while in operation mode;
h) If there are no valid input signals in LedSync820C, when it
enters setup mode, a green screen will be generated as
reference image;
i) It is strongly recommended to connect a VGA monitor to VGA
OUT of LedSync820C, so as to intuitively display all above
adjustment and setups.

V. Troubleshooting
1 Dark screen, no image on LED
Check the input source of LedSync820C for any abnormality. If the
indicator above input signal button is illumed, it means the input
source is in good condition; however, if the indicator blinks, it means
some fault has occurred.
If the input source is normal, the indicator will keep illumed.
Press PART button on frontal panel of LedSync820C. While
in PART mode, LED will display image; however, while in
FULL mode, LED will display dark screen; the moment
please check whether the start coordinates of
LedSync820C output image is identical to the start
coordinates of the input image that LED transmission card
captured.
No image display even in PART mode, connect 1 VGA
monitor to VGA OUT of LedSync820C, check whether there
are images appearing on VGA monitor.
If there are images on VGA monitor,please check:
The DVI connection between DVI output of
LedSync820C and DVI input of LED transmission card
Each section of Ethernet cable connection between
LED transmission card and LED screen. The signal
has been weakened a lot and imposed high risk of
interference
from
outside
after
long-term
transmission passing many sections of Ethernet
cable. Please adopt high-quality Ethernet cable and
RJ45 connector, and shorten the Ethernet cable to
the most extent.
Hot swap of DVI cable may result in burning of DVI
drive or receiving chips.
If there are no images on VGA monitor, please have
supplier repair it
If the input source is abnormal, the indicator will keep blink.
If current input source is: DVI
First, check DVI connection cable
Actuate DVI output of PC graphic display card

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Set the output resolution any of the following
800600
1024768
12801024

Note that DVI output refresh frequency (Vertical Scanning

Frequency) must be: 60Hz
If DVI indicator of LedSync820C frontal panel still blinks,
please have supplier repair it.
If current input source is: VGA
First, check VGA connection cable
Actuate VGA output of PC graphic display card
Set the output definition any of the following
800600
1024768
12801024

Note that VGA output refresh frequency (Vertical Scanning

Frequency) must be: 60Hz
If VGA indicator of LedSync820C frontal panel still blinks,
please have supplier repair it.
If current input source is: YPbPr
First, check YPbPr cable, the three cables Y, Pb, Pr are
connected to corresponding input jacks of LedSync820C
respectively.
Make sure YPbPr signal is in any of the following formats:
720p@60Hz
1080i@60Hz
If the YPbPr indicator on frontal panel of LedSync820C
still blinks, please have supplier repair it.
If current input source is: Y/C(S_Video)
Check S_Video cable.
Make sure S_Video output of DVD player has been
actuated (some DVD players might have disabled S_Video
output, it must be reset and actuated).
If Y/C indicator on frontal panel of LedSync820C still blinks,
please have supplier repair it

2 Timing Control software

cant control LedSync820C

1) Make sure RS232 cable supplied with the machine is

properly connected, one end connects COM port of PC, the
other end connects RS232 IN of LedSync820C;
2) Eject SW button on the rear of LedSync820C case, select
the RS232 communication mode through COM port of PC;
3) Identify the No. of the PCs COM port to be connected, e.g.
COM1 or COM2, select appropriate COM port on
control software;
4) Select appropriate COM port, and ensure this COM port
not yet occupied by other applications, e.g. the common
LedStudio software;
5) If after the above steps LedSync820C still cant be
controlled, please have supplier repair it.
3 When the Ethernet cable is directly connected to the RJ45 port of
built-in LED transmission card, there are images appearing on
LED screen; however, when it is connected via internal RJ45
Bridge Module of LedSync820C, there are no images appearing on
LED screen
1) Make sure internal RJ45 Bridge Module of LedSync820C is
properly connected;
2) Make sure the 8 wires of internal short Ethernet cable of
LedSync820C are in correct sequence, and the 8 wires are
connected to RJ45 connector in both ends in sequence, and are
free of cross. See the figure below:

Figure 5
