Processor limits and data 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.
