to your DVI-based installations.

How DVI Hardware Controllers Work

DVI controllers receive a signal (input) and map it to the LED fixtures (output). But due to their

construction, DVI controllers need to receive the input images in a linear way, in one whole block

of information (often like a rectangle) - no matter how the actual LED installation looks like.

You could also say that DVI controllers expect DVI fixtures to be installed in a predefined way. If

you install them differently, you need to change the input, too.

In other words, when your LED installation looks like this for example:

Then your DVI controller will probably need the input signal to look comparable to this:
