Introduction This guide is a non-technical introduction to scaling for an LED wall using the Calibre UK range of LEDView scalers/processors as featured below. The guide describes how to setup, scale and fit the image quickly and simply onto the LED wall, how to adjust for the best pictures and how to back-up your settings to a PC. This guide does not replace the product user manual and covers only the essential functions to get started LEDView400 LEDView510 LEDView530 ©Calibre UK Limited issue 2.
The Basic Setup Calibre LEDView processors are single channel devices so you need to use one processor for each LED wall you have. The LEDView is a high quality image scaler and does not replace your existing LED wall controller/matrix but designed to work with it. The flowchart below represents the basic setup, additional information can be found further in this guide.
Flexible Connectivity The LEDView range can be used as a routing switcher and universal interface for connecting LED screens to; HD-SDI, 3G-SDI*, HDMI, DVI, VGA Analog, Component YPbPr, RGsB/RGBS, Composite & S-Video inputs with signal compatibility up to 1080p & WUXGA The DVI input can also be set to Analogue input so 2 x VGA can be connected if needed Available outputs are HDMI/DVI, 3G-SDI* & VGA Analog. *LEDView510 and LEDView530 only.

Control Via Web Browser All LEDView can be controlled with either on screen display (OSD) menu or use the built in web browser on a Laptop or Wi-fi enabled Smartphone. LEDView530 only has front panel LCD menu panel The menu format is the same in all menu methods. Units will be set to DHCP as default. You can use the discovery tool to connect to any Calibre processors found on your network. You can download this software from our website. http://www.calibreuk.com/software/ledview/DiscoveryTool_V1.0.
If you choose to use a static address please turn DHCP to OFF and then cycle the power on the processor. This is the top menu screen when you successfully opened the internal browser menu The menu structure is the same with very few exceptions Where the structure is the same reference has been made throughout the document to the LCD menu Where the menu structure differs for the upload of patterns and the settings file back-up and restore functions reference is made to the browser menu.
Set Scaler Functions Set the ‘menu time out function’ to ‘infinite’ (time out function is disabled) to give more time to operate the processors and read these notes. This can be done from the top menu select ‘System’ then select ‘Menu Settings’ then select ‘Menu Display Time’ and then select ‘Infinite’. Input on the latest firmware defaults to the ASPECT test pattern.
Set Display Window Size This section allows the quick and convenient setting of the area of interest to fit the LED screen with pixel-accurate output scaling to accurately match the actual size of the screen you are using.
Set Picture Format Picture Format allows a user to select the displayed aspect ratio where the signal input is different to the display’s natural aspect ratio. Choose between Standard, Full Screen, Crop, Anamorphic or Theatrescope Select the input channel that has your picture.
c/ Crop preserves the aspect ratio of the image and scales the image to fill the screen. The smaller axis of the image will fill the space available. The result is that either the top/bottom or right/left areas of the image are cropped. d/ Anamorphic scales the input image to display the whole picture in a 16:9 aspect ratio.
Output Config Output configuration contains a range of options to tailor the output characteristics which default to the most commonly found requirements. Please refer to the user manual if you wish to modify these settings Menu/Output/Output Config/ Set Input Characteristics Input Filters Each input of the Calibre processor has a dedicated memory. This allows the input characteristics to be set for each channel without affecting the output calibration.
Input Adjustments Calibre processors provide comprehensive separate adjustments for each input channel. The active adjustments are for which ever input is currently selected. Colour From the main menu select Colour Black level offset is ‘0’ for European tv signals and ‘7.
SDI Setup allows the SDI stream standard to be set and the audio channel routing to be set. Component Setup allows the analogue BNC inputs to be configured for YUV or RGsB/RGBS Test Pattern Setup which allows you to pre-select which pattern you wish to display when Test Pattern is selected in the Input list. This is often used to display an end user uploaded test pattern which can be your company logo. Switching Transition you can select how the unit switches between inputs.
Back-up your settings and Upload your own Test Patterns These functions can only be accessed through the browser menu. They are additional items that cannot be found on either the LCD or ON Screen menus. You can upload four patterns/logo pictures of your choice. You can also backup your settings to your laptop. You can use this function to load multiple units with an experts settings. E&OE ©Calibre UK Limited issue 2.
