How to build an LCD video wall

The installation of the LCD video wall is not like ordinary display equipment, just simply put it on and install it.

The installation of the LCD video wall should not only choose the installation site carefully, but also pay attention to the light around the installation environment, but also need to pay attention to the wiring, and there are also requirements for the frame.

How to build an LCD video wall

The choice of LCD video wall installation floor:

The installation floor of the LCD video wall should be flat, because the entire system of the LCD video wall is relatively large in terms of volume and weight.

The selected floor also needs to have a certain ability to bear weight. If the floor is tile, it may not be able to bear its weight. Another point is that the installed ground must be anti-static.


Cautions for video wall wiring:

When installing the LCD video wall, pay attention to distinguishing its power cord and signal line when wiring, and install them in different places to avoid interference.

In addition, according to the size and installation position of the screen of the entire project, calculate the length and specifications of the various lines needed, and calculate the needs of the entire project.


LCD video wall requirements for ambient light:

Although the brightness of the LCD video wall is very high, it is still limited after all, so the light around the environment where you choose to install cannot be too strong. If it is too strong, you may not be able to see the picture on the screen.

The light that may enter near the screen (such as a window) should be blocked if necessary, and it is best to turn off the light when the device is running to ensure the normal operation of the device. Do not install a light directly in front of the screen, just install a downlight.

Video wall frame requirements:

In order to facilitate the maintenance of the LCD video wall in the future, the frame edging must be a detachable edging. A gap of about 25mm is reserved between the inner edge of the outer frame and the outer edge of the splicing wall. For large splicing walls, the margin should be appropriately increased according to the number of columns.

In addition, in order to enter the cabinet for maintenance later, the maintenance channel is in principle not less than 1.2m wide. It is advisable to press the detachable side strip 3-5mm from the edge of the screen. After the cabinet and the screen are fully installed in place, fix the detachable side strip finally.

Ventilation requirements for installation environment:

In the maintenance passage, air conditioners or air outlets must be installed to ensure that the equipment is well ventilated. The location of the air outlet should be as far away as possible from the LCD splicing wall (about 1m is better), and the wind from the air outlet should not be blown directly against the cabinet to avoid damage to the screen due to uneven heating and cooling.  

At the LCD splicing construction site, the installation and debugging should be based on the phenomenon reflected by the fault to determine the cause, and the synchronization interface and transmission cable of the equipment should be checked, and the synchronization frequency range of the signal source and the display terminal should be compared.

If the image has ghosting, check whether the transmission cable is too long or too thin. The solution is to change the cable to test or add a signal amplifier and other equipment.

If the focus is not ideal, you can adjust the display terminal. Facing the emergence of problems, we must first learn to analyze, so as to better solve the root cause of the problem. Through strong analysis, inspection time can be shortened.

These methods are some methods and skills for debugging after installation. The installer must be proficient and good. Only professional people can do professional things.

 

Professional knowledge about LCD video wall technology

 

LCD video wall

Manufacturers who develop and produce LCD video walls know that the production process of industrial-grade LCD screens is much higher than that of ordinary display equipment. Even with the same panel level, the production requirements for LCD video walls are more stringent.

Although many security surveillance companies have begun to use LCD video walls, their understanding of LCD video walls is too simple, and their understanding of industrial-grade display equipment is very simple.

In fact, the construction and selection of many LCD video wall engineering companies do not meet the specifications at all, even if they choose foreign brands. Many large-screen display projects have not fully exploited the advantages of LCD video walls, and have not achieved high-definition effects with minimal joints.

From a microscopic analysis, more companies only know about installation and lack the necessary knowledge. Today, LCD video wall manufacturers will add some professional knowledge for everyone.

1. The comparative advantages of LCD video walls and other computer monitors

The LCD video wall uses an A-level LCD panel, high reliability to ensure quality display. For large screens, the role of the LCD panel is undoubtedly the most important, which accounts for about 70% of the cost, and the general display chooses the A-level panel There will be an increase.

At present, LCD panels are divided into A+, A-, B+, and B-. The B+ panel is a good choice for computer monitors. However, the operating environment of the LCD video wall also determines the higher requirements for LCD panels.

2. Ultra-narrow frame design of LCD video wall

The LCD video wall has no frame, slim design on both sides, and uses less than 1 mm cable, which is significantly better than the BSV LCD splicing technology of general display equipment.

It is bound to set off an upsurge of seamless LCD splicing in the monitoring field, which will form a "blowout effect" of market demand.

3. High resolution LCD video wall supports point-to-point display

For “other devices”, the main focus is on the chip for signal input processing. Although the parameters shown can reach 1080P, they are not full HD HDCP displays. The liquid crystal displays are not point-to-point horizontally from 1920 to 1920. Vertical display panel composed of 1080 pixels

4. The LCD video wall uses high-quality electronic components (IC, capacitors, inductors, etc.)

The quality of LCD video wall products has a strict component selection system and a complete production line. The products of each production line go through rigorous roasting machines and tests.

Unlike "other machines", the procurement time of panels is very tight when they leave the factory, and the production and assembly are free to leave the factory. Because "other machines" do not have products in stock, the panel assembly, production, processing, and installation for customers only when they are delivered, the time is generally very short.

The quality of ICs, capacitors, and inductors directly affect the life and safety of the display.

5. The LCD video wall has unique DNIEPro color and signal enhancement complementary technology

For the liquid crystal display, the control IC that restores the precise control of the color can make the display effect of the liquid crystal display more colorful.

Its control IC can screen out 1 billion best colors from about 68.6 billion colors, which is more accurate in restoring the colors of objects.

The general display signal board simply decodes the signal and displays it directly, without IC processing.

6. The LCD video wall has a dynamic enhancement signal to ensure the dark and white color and dynamic smear phenomenon

The design and material selection of the IC chip and control circuit of the display are also extremely important. The first-tier manufacturers have their own panel production lines, which can design and develop the control circuit from the most professional perspective. From the materials to the workmanship, the large-screen display can be guaranteed to be long. Stable work with time, and strengthen processing of various input signals at the same time to ensure the effectiveness of grayscale.

7. The LCD video wall adopts advanced power supply DPMS

The DPMS management system maximizes the power supply and signal board to protect the LCD panel while reducing power consumption.

In the "lamp driving circuit" of the display, the high-voltage bar is connected to the lamp tube inside the panel to light it and control its brightness. Therefore, the brightness of the display is mainly related to the number of lamps placed in the panel, the more the number, the higher the brightness.

For "other devices", all CCFL tubes in the panel are driven to light up, so that the display will work with high brightness for a long time and will cause long-term heat to seriously damage the life of the panel. Why is the LCD video wall called a low-heat panel? The mystery is not on the LCD panel, but on the drive motherboard to use the chip to automatically light up the CCFL lamp in the panel.

What is the controller for the LCD video wall to enter and exit?

What is the controller for the LCD video wall to enter and exit? Did you choose the right one?

When corresponding to a real-time screen display system, under normal circumstances, customers will ask how many signal processors are needed, which is actually controlled by the control that forms the screen.
Outside the screen, the most important display is the complete signal processing equipment, which also determines the function of the entire screen. At this time, we need to configure the signal processing equipment according to our needs.

Distributor: It is commonly used when there is only one signal and input to display a large screen.
According to the number of image screens, the corresponding distributors are 1 in 4 out, 1 in 8 out, 1 in 16 out, etc.

Matrix: came into being on the basis of the simultaneous distributor. The function of the matrix is ​​more single, it supports a variety of signal source input, and can be displayed on a large screen.
For example, we have 3 computer signals that need to be displayed on the screen, the upper limit is 15 screens, and a 4-input 16 matrix can be configured to switch and display each signal at the same time.


The decoder is professionally used for the decoding of video surveillance signals on the screen, including the front end connected to the video screen machine.
In addition to the function of the matrix, it can also achieve the screen split display function, such as displaying up to 64 images in one screen. This greatly improves the arrangement of the screen pictures.


Image and video processor: In some large control room, in addition to simple and decoding functions, sometimes they can also enlarge the screen and screen functions,
such as enlarging a certain image on the screen and displaying another image on it, compared to decoders The function is smaller.

Why is industrial-grade LCD video wall more expensive than other screens

The panels of industrial-grade LCD video wall have undergone industrial-grade treatment, special treatment in order to meet the requirements of the industrial field.
For example, it needs to be turned on continuously for 24 hours, which is equivalent to the need for uninterrupted work, and the performance requirements for the panel are extremely high.
For example, in some monitoring rooms, in order to achieve safe management and control, it is very normal to start the display all the year round.

LCD video wall

And our common LCD screens are conventional LCD panels, such as TV screens, monitor screens, and mobile phone screens.
Because it does not need to be turned on and displayed all the time, it does not need to be made into an industrial grade.

The difference between the panels directly affects the continuous display in the later stage.
Industrial-grade panels support 365 days of continuous uninterrupted machine operation, while conventional panels do not.


The comprehensive lifespan of industrial-grade LCD video wall can reach more than 100,000 hours, which is equivalent to about 10 years of continuous startup, while the ordinary LCD screen is about 30,000 hours, which is very relevant.

This is due to the structure of the panel and the reason why industrial-grade panels are slightly more expensive than ordinary panels.

Ordinary screens are mostly used in commercial display and civilian fields, such as computer monitors, TVs, mobile phone screens, smart watches and other electronic devices, and most of them are small screen displays.

The industrial LCD video wall is mostly used in large-screen display occasions and control rooms, which usually require multi-screen splicing.
At the same time, it also needs to be turned on continuously for a long time, such as security monitoring display system, command and dispatch large-screen system, conference display, exhibition display platform, big data analysis platform and other occasions.
Like some occasions that focus on display and monitoring, usually multiple LCD splicing screens are spliced ​​into a large screen to display hundreds of video monitoring screens, which need to be continuously powered on.

Control 4 TVs to form a big screen - 4 TV Video Wall Controller

How do the four monitor splicing screens form a big screen?

Are you sure what you see in the mall are LCD monitors?

In fact, it has already existed, it is to imitate the LCD splicing screen, using an external splicing processor to achieve this effect.

Nowadays, many commercial advertisements are played on large screens. Supermarket stores will install a splicing large screen composed of multiple LCD monitors or TV sets to play video advertisements. Then iSEMC uses 4 as an example to solve 4 LCD TVs or monitors. How to form a big screen

In fact, there are two large-screen solutions composed of 4 LCD monitors:

The first is to buy a good LCD computer, configure a relatively high-end multi-screen graphics card, through the multi-screen display 4 high-definition interfaces to output to the back of 4 LCD TVs or monitors, and then set up a multi-screen card, so as to achieve a large splicing Screen picture. If you do this, the effect is not very good, and there is a risk of computer virus infection. It is not recommended for customers.

The second is that you need a 4 TV Video Wall Controller, or a splicing box. Now there are many brands of such products. Just buy one. The iSEMC 4TV Video Wall Controller can quickly switch splicing/single display status, and supports multi-interface input. Yes, it is convenient for multi-signal use, and can also be used as a signal switcher.

If you have 4 TVs of the same specification, you can use the TV as your splicing screen, and match it with a suitable 4TV video wall controller, you can get it;

The difference between LCD video wall and LED video wall

First of all, LCD video walls and LED video walls are two completely different concepts.
LCD is a liquid crystal screen, used for display;

LED refers to Light Emitting Diode, and the LED we are talking about refers to a liquid crystal display that uses light-emitting diodes as a light source. The liquid crystal itself does not emit light and needs another light source to shine. Now you can use LED as a backlight source, so there is LED video wall.

OLED is the same as LCD. OLED is an organic light-emitting diode, which can be used for display. OLED does not need a backlight. It emits light and displays color by itself, which can replace LCD. At present, OLED is mostly used for mobile phone screen display ( Such as ultra-thin mobile phones).

(LCD video wall on the left, LED video wall on the right)

 

1. Application
Different LEDs are basically used for advertising. They are mainly used for playing videos, pictures, and text. LEDs are used for press conferences, evening parties, shopping mall advertising screens, and store text bar screens.
The LCD splicing screen is mainly used for surveillance video display, meeting rooms, exhibitions and other occasions, which is due to its split screen, support for multi-signal input, and achieve high-definition resolution display, close-up clarity is higher.

2. Installation environment
Since the liquid crystal itself is not waterproof, it is mainly used indoors; while LEDs can be used in various occasions, both indoors and outdoors;

3. Patchwork
LCD splicing screens have splicing gaps of different sizes, ranging from 3.5 to 0.88mm on both sides, so there will be physical black borders between the screen and the screen after splicing, which will affect the viewing effect when the whole screen displays a picture; and LED There will be no such worries, no matter how spliced, the LED display has no black borders;

4. Different display effects
Different LED dot pitches result in different resolutions and different display effects. At present, the dot pitch ranges from 10mm to 1mm. The smaller the dot pitch, the clearer the display. The resolution of a single LCD splicing screen is 1920*1080, and the resolution can be superimposed after the screen is spliced. Therefore, the LCD splicing screen has a higher resolution, which is more suitable for playing high-definition film sources, and is clearer when viewed close up. , There is no mosaic phenomenon.

5. Different after-sales rates
The LCD splicing screen technology is very stable, the average life span can reach more than 60,000 hours, and it can be turned on and displayed for 24 hours continuously. As long as the panel is not impacted by external forces, there will be few after-sales problems. The LED is not the case. It has a certain dead light rate. Some lamp beads on the module will turn black or red. As time goes by, the probability of this dead light will become higher and higher, which will seriously affect Display effect, if you want to repair it can only be removed and re-welded or replaced, the after-sale rate is higher
.
6. Power consumption
The splicing screen of the same size and area has much lower power consumption than the LED screen. The splicing screen supports power-off and power-off at will, but the LED does not. Summary: So we choose to use LED or LCD splicing screen basically can be analyzed from the above several, if it is used indoors, display monitoring or multiple computer content can be spliced ​​with LCD, if it is used outdoors, or indoor remote viewing Use LEDs. The eyes will have a very obvious burning sensation when watching LED for a long time. It is recommended to use LCD splicing screen in the meeting room. The color/contrast/long-time viewing effect is much better than that of LED.

Whether it is an LED video wall or an LCD video wall, you should choose it according to the actual usage. In iSEMC, you can get a quotation for two video walls;
