Image Processing and System Integration
Crop, scale and position video layers to fit the screen layout. The Z5 supports hue, saturation, contrast, brightness compensation, color-temperature adjustment and independent RGB adjustment. Ethernet-port and controller redundancy are available for supported configurations.
Match the output mode, receiving cards, optical equipment and source timing before deployment. Maximum width and height are individual limits, not a simultaneously supported full-screen raster. Frame rate, bit depth and system configuration must be checked together when planning the LED load.
Latency: Low-latency operation is supported. The existing product information includes both one-frame processing and a zero-frame mode; the achievable delay depends on the operating mode and system configuration. Confirm the required mode for the intended signal path rather than treating zero delay as universal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Colorlight Z5 support 4K HDMI and SDI input?
The Z5 lists HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.2 and 12G-SDI inputs, with input timing up to 4096 × 2160 at 60 Hz. Check the timing and bit-depth requirements of the source.
How many pixels can the Z5 control?
The listed maximum is 13.1 million pixels. The 16384-pixel width and 8192-pixel height limits remain subject to total capacity and the selected output configuration.
Can the Z5 use fiber transmission?
Yes. It provides two 10-Gigabit optical outputs in addition to twenty Gigabit Ethernet outputs. Select the appropriate output type and compatible optical equipment for the installation.
Does the Z5 support HDR and Genlock?
Yes. HDR10, HLG and Genlock are supported. Use compatible sources and configure the receiving system for the intended display workflow.
