5.9.Calibration
(Click the Calibration-icon)
INTRODUCTION
Calibration enables the user to recalibrate the DLite Display. Normally ALL tiles are calibrated and this should
only be performed when one or more tiles don’t match the other tiles in the DLite Display.
All tiles are equipped with the unique system color signature, which guarantees color uniformity across the
whole screen and across time. Tiles are calibrated at some temperature color to achieve color uniformity for the
entire wall.
CALIBRATION
The Calibration Box is as follows:
CALIBRATION SETTINGS
COLOR TEMPERATURE
Select the Color Temperature to calibrate your Display at.
RESOLUTION
Select the resolution of your DLite Display (one can check this in the lower right corner of the DLite Setup
Box). The optimal digital & analog contrast settings will be altered. DO NOT change the ANALOG contrast
unless you are completely familiar with the implications of any changes.
CALIBRATION TILES
Select the range of tiles to calibrate by selecting a start tile and an end tile.
CALIBRATE
Pushing <Calibrate Tiles> calibrates the range of tiles. ALL tiles will be measured again (to avoid hot swapped
tiles) but ONLY the selected range will be calibrated. If a messagebox pops up, saying that the entire wall must
be recalibrated, one of the tiles to calibrate has a lower light output and the entire wall will be recalibrated.
REMARK
When a tile is excluded from calibration (see pop up menu!), and is in the range to calibrate, the software does
not take the excluded tile into account.

LUMA TRACKING
Adjustable from -15 to 0 with the corresponding slider
Luma Tracking prevent that green haze appears in low lights.
CLIP TO SUBBLACK
Adjustable from -15 to 0 with the corresponding slider
Clip To Subblack will filter spurious LSB’s in low lights under black-level, to prevent that spurious pixels appear
in black planes., even after Dynamic Image Stabilization.
DYNAMIC IMAGE STABILIZER
Adjustable from 0 to 7 with the corresponding slider
The DIS causes the image to be more stabilized. In high gain displays like the DLite Display this is very
important. The DIS will filter the video in time, where 0 means nearly filtering in time and 7 very high filtering.
Too high filtering can causes smearing in fast moving video. Therefore the DIS is adjustable to achieve an
optimal compromise. Because of this the DIS will minimize spurious pixels in low lights, makes high contrast
performance possible and cleans up sources of lesser quality for display.
RGB GAMMA
Adjustable: flat/-1/-2/-3
The RGB Gamma provides adjustable gamma curves on R G and B outputs, which causes to reserve a high
relative contrast, also in low lights. RGB gamma is processed in the digitizer.
GENERAL GAMMA
General gamma is a more accurate gamma adjustment, performed in the tiles to reserve a better relative
contrast for the images (video / data ..) and for a more accurate color representation. See · General Gamma

If one takes the orange part as the cutout window, one can scroll the information Horizontal AND Vertical.
These are the H & V Panning parameters.

7.1.Ambient Environment Controller
(Click the AEC-icon)
Introduction
The Ambient Environment Controller (AEC) is a device containing one temperature sensor and four light
sensors used to measure the ambient environment. The software integrates the control of the DLite Display
with the AEC.
One or more AEC’s can be placed next to the DLite Display to measure the environmental light during the
day. Each AEC is assigned a certain percentage of weight, dependent on it’s relevance. (e.g. an AEC is
positioned next to a light spot and extremely influenced by variances of light). A percentage of weight can
even be assigned at the level of the light sensors. A weighted average is calculated out of all the
measurements and the software responds according to a certain reaction slope. The reaction slope
determines the time of response to filter out peeks in light measurements. The light output is changed
accordingly to the value which the AEC is calibrated at.

normal, you can set the reference number to 250 instead of 500. The AEC will be calibrated according to this
number. To Calibrate the AEC push the AEC Calibration button and wait a second. All measurements will
return a value proportional to the calibration value.
At the bottom of the tab you can push the Sensor Weight button to pull up a next box where you can change
the sensor weight according to its importance. The next window will appear:
To be able to assign weight’s to the individual sensors, one can perform 100 measurements on each sensor.

more sensors having unstable measurements, the sensors can be weighted by the ens user.
After you’ve pushed either one of the buttons the Sensor weight AEC box appears
SENSOR WEIGHT AEC
Select a sensor by selecting a portion of the pie diagram. The portion selected depends on the sensor
required, represented in the Sensor Representation tab. At the bottom are visible the according statistics in
the Statistics tab.
Altering the sensor weight can be done by pushing the up and down buttons in the Sensors tab. Check
buttons in the Sensors tab are also visable. Switching on these checkbuttons make sure that the weight of the
respective sensors will change in the same proportional way.
It is also possible to hold the weight of a specific sensor while changing the other sensors weights. This can
be accomplished by right clicking the portion of the pie corresponding to the desired sensor provided this

(Click the Fiberlink-icon)
Introduction
The Fiberlink is a digital fiber optic transmission system from Digitizer to DLite Display. It covers very long
distances and has a very high bandwidth (1.5 GB/s). This enables the end-user for instance to setup the
Digitizer in a remote control room.
The fiberlink transmits not only the video signals but also the communication to the display. Therefore an
extensive self-diagnose system is implemented for possible failure of transmission.

8.3.Hot Swap Detection
Introduction
While a DLite Display is connected to a computer, it is possible to check whether a tile is hot swapped or
whether a tile is not responding/missing. The DLite Software automatically detects whether a tile is missing or
replaced from it’s original configuration.
A TILE IS REPLACED
When a Tile is replaced, the DLite software detects this and forces the new tile to the expected address from
the original configuration. The new tile also is reconfigured: it’s position and contrast are automatically
adjusted. When selected, the tile is also calibrated to match the entire DLite Display.
For the tile to have the same calibration for the whole display, select the pitch and color temperature to match
that of the entire DLite Display.
A TILE IS MISSING
When a tile is missing for the software (not responding or actually being replace), the software automatically
tries to reconfigure the DLite Display. This could result in a shift of addresses. When a tile is actually missing,
this is represented in the DLite Display Visualization as shown next. The software keeps the same
configuration for the remaining tiles, so nothing is visually different for the client.

ambient temperature of 25 degrees Celsius is:
· Video: +/- 40 degrees Celsius average
· Data: +/- 45 degrees Celsius average
The default limit on the tile’s temperature is average 60/65 degrees Celsius.
The temperature can be controlled by regulating the digital contrast.
