1. concept and installation 1. CONCEPT AND INSTALLATION About the Field Calibration When swapping LED frame, it is possible that the color uniformity cannot be reached for the whole wall. To solve this problem, Barco developed a tool, Field Calibration software, namely FCS-100. When using this tool, calibrate the frame by modifying LMT data to obtain good uniformity of the LED screen.
1. concept and installation 1.1 Basic concept Different steps to be taken 1. Swap the new frame. Follow the service manual for more detail about changing a frame on site. 2. Configure and adjust the wall with Director Toolset 3. Calibrate the wall with Director Toolset, use the desired calibration level 4. Display a white image and view it. If there is still different in uniformity, install FCS-100 software on controller PC. 5.

Make sure the right LED type is selected before establishing connection. How to establish connection If the connection is unsuccessful, “Not establish connection!” alarm is shown.
2. Field calibration 2.4 Display control Digital contrast To change the brightness, click on the slider and move it left or right until the desired value is reached. At right of the slider shows the current brightness (percent of the maximal brightness) Image 2-9 Digital contrast Digital contrast is in broadcast mode to change the brightness of all tiles. Advanced Advanced has Patterns switch, OSD display, Enable Calibration and Disable Calibration functions as below illustrated.
2. Field calibration • Patterns Press “Patterns” button. In the popup dialog, check the check box “show internal pattern” or uncheck it to get the internal or external pattern. If it’s internal pattern, single color can be selected by checking the check box “Red”, “Green”, or “Blue” in “Pattern Color”. Or, Loop RGBW to get the White, Red, Green and Blue color loop automatically 1 2 Image 2-10 • OSD Press “OSD” button. In the popup dialog, click at the right of the list, select the desired info.

Image 2-12 Enable calibration • Disable Calibration Press “Disable Calibration” to cancel the calibration as illustrated. Image 2-13 Disable Calibration To show the OSD info, “Enable OSD” must be checked.
2. Field calibration 2.5 Modify AC What is modify AC For SLite10, SLite14(GI, GII), SLite14C,and SLite22 LED wall, AC value can be modified to adjust the uniformity by tile. How to modify AC 1. input the desired tile address in text. 2. press “Read AC” to obtain the current AC value. It will be shown in texts “Red”,” Green”, and” Blue”. 3. Input new AC value in text if necessary, and press “Write AC” to make it works.
2. Field calibration 2.6 Field adjust Why do Field adjust To correct the uniformity of LED wall, a new LMT brightness value of the selected frame needs to be set to calibrate it. WARNING: Due to the possibility of making some error in modifying LMT data, So, Must back up the raw LMT data on controller PC before modifying it Backup/Restore LMT Data 1. To backup or restore LMT Data, press “Backup/Restore LMT Data” In the pop up dialog 2.
