The Colorlight X8 LED display controller combines video source switching, splicing, scaling and LED sending. It provides four DVI inputs, two 3G-SDI inputs and eight Gigabit Ethernet outputs, with a total loading capacity of 5 million pixels.

Five-layer layouts and saved presets
The X8 supports five display layers with adjustable position and size. Input images can be scaled and spliced to suit the screen layout, while 16 preset modes let operators recall saved settings. Brightness and chromaticity adjustments, together with improved grayscale at low brightness, provide image control for rental and fixed displays.
LAN and USB connections support configuration, USB OUT supports cascading to another controller, and Genlock input and loop output support synchronized operation.

Matching the X8 to your LED screen
Confirm the input source format, screen pixel count and layer arrangement before ordering. The 8,192-pixel maximum width or height is a dimension limit, not an 8192 × 8192 supported screen resolution. Keep the complete layout within the 5-million-pixel capacity.
This X8 uses DVI and SDI inputs. Its 1920 × 1200 input limit should be checked separately from the resolution of the LED wall.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum loading capacity of the Colorlight X8?
The X8 V1.0 specification lists a total capacity of 5 million pixels. Maximum width and height are each 8,192 pixels, subject to that total pixel limit.
Does this X8 accept 4K input?
The linked X8 specification lists a maximum input resolution of 1920 × 1200 at 60 Hz. It does not specify 4K input for this model.
How many inputs and Ethernet outputs does the X8 have?
It has four DVI inputs, two 3G-SDI inputs and eight RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet outputs. The SDI inputs support 1920 × 1080p.
How many layers and presets does the X8 support?
It supports five display layers with adjustable position and size, plus 16 preset modes for recalling saved settings.
Can multiple X8 controllers be configured and synchronized?
USB OUT supports cascading to the next controller. Genlock input and Genlock loop output are provided for synchronized display operation; check the full system configuration before installation.
