Processor limits and data paths
Port capacity, loading cabinets per output, and planning redundant paths.
When to use this
Use when assigning cabinets to processor outputs — before you discover an port is overloaded on site.
Processor ports
Each LED processor output accepts a maximum pixel load — varies by model and frame rate.
WireFlow helps visualize zones and wiring paths so you split the wall across ports within spec.
Data paths
- Plan primary data paths from processor to each cabinet column or zone.
- Document backup paths if your show design requires redundant controllers.
- Align path names with processor software (port 1, port 2) and physical CAT5 labels.
Best practices
- Leave headroom — running outputs at 100% rated load leaves no margin for higher brightness or HDR modes.
- Match wiring plan labels to processor configuration export.
Common issues
- Underestimating pixel load when adding a row last-minute.
- Mixing cabinet models with different pixel counts in one zone without recalculating.
