Zaglavlje, jezik, Osnovno / Pro

• EN | SR — jezik celog alata. Pamti se na uređaju. Promena jezika vraća automatski naziv fajla (Ekran-… / Screen-…).
• v2.0 (pored logotipa) — otvara prozor About: verzija, release, spisak izmena i politika privatnosti. Zatvara se sa ×, klikom pored ili tasterom Esc.
• Osnovno — sve što treba za običan ekran; uvek računa za 8-bit ulaz.
• Pro — dodaje Bitaža ulaza, Procesor / sending kartica i Backup (redundansa). Akcentna boja postaje cijan, da se vidi da si u Pro modu. Pro podešavanja ostaju zapamćena i kad se vratiš na Osnovno, ali se tada ne koriste.

Brojna polja (dimenzije, težina, struja, tačke kačenja) menjaju se samo dugmićima − / + ili strelicama ↑ / ↓ na tastaturi, korak po korak. Tako na telefonu ne iskače tastatura i ne može da se unese pogrešan korak.

Header, language, Basic / Pro

• EN | SR — language of the whole tool. Remembered on the device. Changing the language resets the automatic file name (Screen-… / Ekran-…).
• v2.0 (next to the logo) — opens the About window: version, release, changelog and privacy policy. Close it with ×, by clicking outside, or with Esc.
• Basic — everything you need for a normal screen; always calculates for an 8-bit input.
• Pro — adds Input bit depth, Processor / sending card and Backup (redundancy). The accent color turns cyan so you can see you're in Pro mode. Pro settings are kept when you switch back to Basic, but are not used there.

Number fields (dimensions, weight, current, hang points) change only with the − / + buttons or the ↑ / ↓ arrow keys, one step at a time. This way no keyboard pops up on a phone and an invalid step can't be entered.

Ekran i kabineti

• Broj kolona i redova = dimenzija ekrana / dimenzija kabineta, zaokruženo. Stvarna (efektivna) dimenzija ekrana piše u sažetku.
• Prosečna struja je prosečna potrošnja jednog kabineta. Cela aplikacija računa sa njom (potrošnja, vati = A × 220 V). Za napajanje se vršna struja dobija množenjem (vidi Napajanje). Maksimalnu struju za osigurače uvek proveri u datasheet-u.
• Težina i struja se pamte na uređaju, pa ih ne moraš unositi svaki put.

Kratak red

Kod kabineta 0.5 × 1 m, ako visina ekrana ima ostatak od 0,5 m, alat sam doda red kvadratnih kabineta (0.5 × 0.5) na vrhu i to napiše u sažetku. Kvadratni kabinet u tom redu računa se kao 0,6 težine i 0,5 struje punog kabineta. Portovi kratkog reda planiraju se posebno i dobijaju brojeve posle punih redova.

Screen and cabinets

• Columns and rows = screen size / cabinet size, rounded. The actual (effective) screen size is shown in the summary.
• Avg. draw is the average consumption of one cabinet. The whole app calculates with it (consumption, watts = A × 220 V). For power cabling the peak draw is derived by a factor (see Power). Always check the maximum current for breakers in the datasheet.
• Weight and current are remembered on the device, so you don't have to enter them every time.

Short row

With 0.5 × 1 m cabinets, if the screen height leaves 0.5 m, the tool automatically adds a row of square cabinets (0.5 × 0.5) at the top and says so in the summary. A square cabinet in that row counts as 0.6× the weight and 0.5× the current of a full cabinet. Ports for the short row are planned separately and numbered after the full-row ports.

Rezolucija kabineta

• Preset (horizontalna rezolucija): 104×208, 128 (P3.9, podrazumevano), 128×256, 168 (P2.9), 168×336, 176 (P2.8), 192 (P2.6) ili Prilagođeno.
• Preset sa „×” (npr. 128×256) sam prebaci kabinet na 0.5 × 1 m; kvadratni preset vraća 0.5 × 0.5 m. Ako promeniš dimenziju kabineta tako da više ne odgovara presetu, preset postaje Prilagođeno.
• Kod Prilagođeno unosiš samo Širina (px). Visina se računa iz oblika kabineta (kvadratni = ista, 0.5 × 1 m = duplo).

Cabinet resolution

• Preset (horizontal resolution): 104×208, 128 (P3.9, default), 128×256, 168 (P2.9), 168×336, 176 (P2.8), 192 (P2.6) or Custom.
• A preset with “×” (e.g. 128×256) switches the cabinet to 0.5 × 1 m; a square preset switches back to 0.5 × 0.5 m. If you change the cabinet size so it no longer matches the preset, the preset becomes Custom.
• With Custom you only enter Width (px). The height is calculated from the cabinet shape (square = same, 0.5 × 1 m = double).

Portovi i kapacitet

Osvežavanje ekrana

Kapacitet jednog porta = 936.000.000 / (Hz × 24) piksela:

MX procesori (MX20, MX30, MX40 Pro) po NovaStar specifikaciji računaju 950.000.000 / (Hz × 24), malo više od ostalih. Kad u Pro tabu izabereš MX procesor, alat računa po toj formuli. Primer: kabinet 128 × 128 px na 60 Hz staje 40 po portu, a ne 39.

Headroom (rezerva kapaciteta porta)

0 / 5 / 10 / 15 %. Smanjuje limit porta za sigurnosnu rezervu (u meniju piše koliko piksela po portu ostaje). Alat odmah preračuna raspored i broj portova prema manjem limitu.

Bitaža ulaza (Pro)

• 8-bit — pun kapacitet.
• 10-bit i 12-bit = ×0,5 za sve procesore (i bez procesora).
• MX sa A10s Pro / A8s Pro karticama može 10-bit ×0,75, ali su u ekranima uglavnom A5 i starije kartice, pa alat računa ×0,5.

Ispod menija piše tačan kapacitet za izabranu kombinaciju. Redosled je: nominalno → bitaža → headroom.

Kako se biraju portovi

Alat sam određuje veličinu bloka po portu: traži raspored sa najmanje portova, a među njima onaj gde su portovi najbolje iskorišćeni. Probaju se jednake matrice (npr. 4 × 5 kabineta po portu) i mešoviti rasporedi (trake po kolonama ili redovima). U sažetku piše „Matrica po portu…” ili „Mešoviti raspored…” sa procentom iskorišćenosti.

Opterećenje porta računa se po pravougaoniku koji obuhvata sve kabinete tog porta, isto kao NovaLCT. Port u obliku slova L ili sa rupom (praznim mestom) broji se kao pun pravougaonik. Alat je pri tome malo strožiji od NovaLCT-a.

Ports and capacity

Screen refresh rate

Capacity of one port = 936,000,000 / (Hz × 24) pixels:

MX processors (MX20, MX30, MX40 Pro) use 950,000,000 / (Hz × 24) per the NovaStar specification, slightly more than the others. When you pick an MX processor in the Pro tab, the tool calculates with that formula. Example: a 128 × 128 px cabinet at 60 Hz fits 40 per port instead of 39.

Headroom (port capacity reserve)

0 / 5 / 10 / 15 %. Reduces the port limit by a safety margin (the menu shows how many pixels per port remain). The tool immediately recalculates the layout and port count against the lower limit.

Input bit depth (Pro)

• 8-bit — full capacity.
• 10-bit and 12-bit = ×0.5 for all processors (and no processor).
• MX with A10s Pro / A8s Pro cards can do 10-bit ×0.75, but most screens still have A5 or older cards, so the tool uses ×0.5.

The exact capacity for the chosen combination is shown under the menu. The order is: nominal → bit depth → headroom.

How ports are chosen

The tool picks the block size per port itself: it looks for the layout with the fewest ports, and among those the one where ports are best utilized. It tries uniform matrices (e.g. 4 × 5 cabinets per port) and mixed layouts (bands by columns or rows). The summary says “Matrix per port…” or “Mixed layout…” with the utilization percentage.

Port load is calculated over the rectangle that contains all cabinets of that port, the same as NovaLCT. An L-shaped port or one with a hole (blank position) counts as a full rectangle. The tool is slightly stricter than NovaLCT here.

Kartice gore

Šema povezivanja: Dimenzija, Težina, Rezolucija, Ukupan broj piksela, Broj portova (npr. „8 @ 60Hz”, uz „· 10-bit”, „· 2× MCTRL4K” ili „8 + 8 backup” kad važi), Prosečna potrošnja (A i W).

Kartica koja pređe limit izabranog procesora (portovi, pikseli, rezolucija) pocrveni.

U prikazu napajanja ⚡ kartice se menjaju — vidi Napajanje.

Stat cards

Wiring diagram: Dimension, Weight, Resolution, Total Number of Pixels, Number of ports (e.g. “8 @ 60Hz”, plus “· 10-bit”, “· 2× MCTRL4K” or “8 + 8 backup” when applicable), Average consumption (A and W).

A card that exceeds a limit of the chosen processor (ports, pixels, resolution) turns red.

In the power view ⚡ the cards change — see Power.

Šema povezivanja

• Kabineti jednog porta su iste boje. Između blokova portova je razmak, pa se jasno vidi gde je granica.
• Prvi kabinet lanca (na koji ide kabl od porta) ima prsten sa brojem porta. Popunjenost prstena = opterećenje porta: zeleno do 50 %, žuto do 75 %, narandžasto do 95 %, tamnonarandžasto preko toga.
• Oznaka u kabinetu „3.5” znači port 3, peti kabinet u lancu (kad ima mesta za tekst).
• Strelice pokazuju redosled lanca.
• Legenda ispod šeme: po portu broj kabineta, piksela i opterećenje u %. ⚠ znači da je port preko limita.

Prikazi (gornji desni ugao šeme)

• Šema povezivanja — podrazumevano.
• Samo test slika — vidi Test slika.
• ⚡ — šema napajanja, vidi Napajanje.

Wiring diagram

• Cabinets on one port share a color. There's a gap between port blocks, so the boundary is clear.
• The first cabinet of a chain (where the port cable connects) has a ring with the port number. Ring fill = port load: green up to 50 %, yellow up to 75 %, orange up to 95 %, dark orange above that.
• The label “3.5” in a cabinet means port 3, fifth cabinet in the chain (when there's room for text).
• Arrows show the chain order.
• The legend under the diagram shows, per port, the number of cabinets, pixels and load in %. ⚠ means the port is over the limit.

Views (top-right corner of the diagram)

• Wiring diagram — default.
• Test screen only — see Test screen.
• ⚡ — power cabling, see Power.

Kačenje ekrana

U gornjem levom uglu šeme su dve ikone: Ekran stoji na podu (podrazumevano) i Ekran je okačen o gredu.

Pored njih je dugme Ogledalo: pogled otpozadi. Ono crta šemu kako je vide oni koji kabliraju, sa zadnje strane ekrana: kolone idu zdesna nalevo. Ispod šeme tada piše „POGLED OTPOZADI (strana kablova)”, i to ide i u PDF/JPG. Menja se samo crtež, a raspored, .scr, kablovi i struja ostaju isti.

• Kad je okačen, iznad ekrana se crta greda sa tačkama kačenja ravnomerno od ivice do ivice.
• Kod svake tačke piše deo ukupne težine u % i kg. Računa se kao kontinualna greda (na 4 tačke npr. 13 / 37 / 37 / 13 %), pa srednje tačke nose više.
• Broj tačaka menjaš okruglim dugmićima − / + levo i desno od grede: najmanje 2, najviše koliko ekran ima celih metara širine (do 20).
• Kačenje menja i šemu napajanja: kola kreću od gornjeg reda (struja dolazi odozgo). Na podu kreću od donjeg reda.

Hanging the screen

In the top-left corner of the diagram there are two icons: Screen on the ground (default) and Screen hung from a beam.

Next to them is the Mirror: view from the back button. It draws the diagram as the cabling crew sees it, from the back of the screen: columns run right to left. Below the diagram it then reads “REAR VIEW (cabling side)”, and that also goes into the PDF/JPG. Only the drawing changes; the layout, .scr, cables and power stay the same.

• When hung, a beam is drawn above the screen with hang points evenly spaced edge to edge.
• Each point shows its share of the total weight in % and kg. It's calculated as a continuous beam (with 4 points e.g. 13 / 37 / 37 / 13 %), so the inner points carry more.
• Change the number of points with the round − / + buttons left and right of the beam: minimum 2, maximum as many as the screen has whole meters of width (up to 20).
• Hanging also changes the power cabling: circuits start from the top row (power comes from above). On the ground they start from the bottom row.

Prazna mesta (ekran koji nije pun pravougaonik)

• Klik na kabinet u šemi ga označi kao prazno mesto (isprekidan okvir i ×). Ponovni klik ga vraća.
• Prazno mesto se ne računa u težinu, struju, broj kabineta ni u lanac. Lanac se prenumeriše oko njega, a u .scr fajlu je to mesto prazno.
• Rezolucija i dimenzija ekrana se ne menjaju.
• Ako lanac zbog praznih mesta mora da preskoči do kabineta koji nije susedni, sažetak upozori koliko ima skokova. Tada probaj drugu opciju ili smer lanca. Takvi linkovi se u spisku kablova broje po stvarnoj dužini.
• Dugme Obriši sva prazna mesta (ispod šeme) vraća sve kabinete odjednom.

Blank positions (screen that is not a full rectangle)

• Click a cabinet in the diagram to mark it as a blank position (dashed outline and ×). Click again to restore it.
• A blank position is excluded from weight, current, cabinet count and the chain. The chain is renumbered around it, and that position is empty in the .scr file.
• Resolution and screen size don't change.
• If the chain has to jump to a non-adjacent cabinet because of blanks, the summary warns how many jumps there are. Then try another option or chain direction. Such links are counted by their real length in the cable list.
• The Clear all blank cells button (under the diagram) restores all cabinets at once.

Panel ispod šeme

• Početak lanca (dve ikone): lanac počinje pri dnu bloka (kabl od porta odozdo, podrazumevano) ili pri vrhu (kabl odozgo).
• Opcija N/M — prelazi na sledeći raspored portova. Opcije su poređane od najbolje (najmanje portova, najbolja iskorišćenost). Posle poslednje vraća se na prvu. Kad se promeni ekran ili rezolucija, vraća se na opciju 1.
• Orijentacija: ⇄ horizontalno (red po red, podrazumevano) ili ⇅ vertikalno (kolona po kolona). Lanac uvek ide „zmijom” — svaki sledeći red/kolona u suprotnom smeru, za najkraći kabl.
• Podeli na K× … i ✕ — samo u Pro, vidi Procesor i podela.
• Obriši sva prazna mesta — vidi se samo kad ima praznih mesta.

Kad je uključen backup (bez podele), prve su opcije kod kojih se najviše lanaca završava na strani odakle dolaze kablovi, pa backup kabl ide pored glavnog.

Panel under the diagram

• Chain start (two icons): the chain starts at the bottom of the block (port cable from below, default) or at the top (cable from above).
• Option N/M — switches to the next port layout. Options are ranked best first (fewest ports, best utilization). After the last it wraps to the first. When the screen or resolution changes, it resets to option 1.
• Orientation: ⇄ horizontal (row by row, default) or ⇅ vertical (column by column). The chain always runs as a “snake” — each next row/column in the opposite direction, for the shortest cable.
• Split across K× … and ✕ — Pro only, see Processor and split.
• Clear all blank cells — shown only when there are blank positions.

With backup on (and no split), the first options are those where the most chains end on the side the cables come from, so the backup cable runs next to the main one.

Pro: procesor / sending kartica i podela

NovaStar model — izaberi uređaj, ili „Bez procesora (samo portovi)”. Ispod piše broj RJ45 portova, najviše piksela i najveća širina/visina ulaza.

Provere u sažetku

✓ zeleno / ✗ crveno: pikseli ekrana, širina, visina, broj portova (glavni + backup) i najopterećeniji port. Na kraju piše „Dovoljno: 1× …” ili „Potrebno: K× … — ograničenje: …”. Kapaciteti su nominalni (60 Hz, 8-bit) — proveri u NovaStar specifikaciji.

Podela na više jedinica

• Kad jedan uređaj nije dovoljan, ispod šeme se pojavi Podeli na K× MODEL. Klik deli ekran na zone (žuti isprekidani okviri sa oznakom „A · MODEL”, „B · …”).
• Svaki sledeći klik prikazuje sledeću varijantu podele („Podela i/n”). ✕ poništava podelu; poništi se i sama ako jedan uređaj postane dovoljan.
• Ekran se deli po granicama blokova portova izabrane opcije. Ako to nije moguće, raspored portova se prilagodi svakoj jedinici, uz napomenu u sažetku.
• Portovi dobijaju slovo jedinice (A1, B3…), svaka jedinica broji portove od 1, a .scr pokriva sve jedinice.

Pro: processor / sending card and split

NovaStar model — choose a device, or “None (ports only)”. Below it you see the number of RJ45 ports, maximum pixels and maximum input width/height.

Checks in the summary

✓ green / ✗ red: screen pixels, width, height, port count (main + backup) and the most loaded port. At the end it says “Enough: 1× …” or “Needed: K× … — limited by: …”. Capacities are nominal (60 Hz, 8-bit) — check the NovaStar spec sheet.

Split across several units

• When one device is not enough, Split across K× MODEL appears under the diagram. Clicking it divides the screen into zones (yellow dashed frames labeled “A · MODEL”, “B · …”).
• Each further click shows the next split variant (“Split i/n”). ✕ cancels the split; it also cancels itself if one device becomes enough.
• The screen is split along the port-block boundaries of the chosen option. If that isn't possible, the port layout is adapted to each unit, with a note in the summary.
• Ports get the unit letter (A1, B3…), each unit numbers its ports from 1, and the .scr covers all units.

Pro: backup (redundansa)

Uključi Crtaj backup linije, pa izaberi Povezivanje backup-a:

• 1:1 — druga sending kartica / procesor (podrazumevano): port N na jedinici B čuva port N na jedinici A.
• Ista jedinica — susedni portovi (1→2, 3→4…): glavni kablovi na 1, 3, 5…, backup na 2, 4, 6…
• Ista jedinica — polovine (1→9, 2→10…): glavni u prvoj polovini portova, backup u drugoj.

Broj portova po sending jedinici (Auto, 4…40) vidi se samo bez izabranog procesora; sa procesorom se koristi njegov broj portova.

• Backup kabl ide na poslednji kabinet svakog lanca — crveni krug „R” (npr. R3). Ako pukne kabl ili kabinet na sredini lanca, ostatak dobija signal sa drugog kraja.
• Kartica „Broj portova” prikazuje „N + N backup”, a spisak kablova i backup kablove.

Tabela redundanse za NovaLCT

Ispod sažetka je tabela parova portova (Primarna kartica / Primarni port → Backup kartica / Backup port), a kod podele po jedna za svaku jedinicu. Ide i u PDF.

Pro: backup (redundancy)

Turn on Draw backup lines, then choose Backup connection:

• 1:1 — second sending card / processor (default): port N on unit B backs up port N on unit A.
• Same unit — adjacent ports (1→2, 3→4…): main cables on 1, 3, 5…, backup on 2, 4, 6…
• Same unit — halves (1→9, 2→10…): main in the first half of the ports, backup in the second.

Ports per sending unit (Auto, 4…40) is shown only when no processor is selected; with a processor its port count is used.

• The backup cable goes to the last cabinet of each chain — red “R” disc (e.g. R3). If a cable or cabinet in the middle of the chain fails, the rest gets signal from the other end.
• The “Number of ports” card shows “N + N backup”, and the cable list includes backup cables.

NovaLCT redundancy table

Below the summary there is a table of port pairs (Primary sending card / Primary port → Backup sending card / Backup port), one per unit when split. It also goes into the PDF.

Pro: više ekrana

U Pro tabu, ispod Osnovno | Pro, nalazi se traka sa ekranima. + Dodaj ekran nudi gotova imena (Main, Left, Right, Center, DJ booth, Side fill, Upstage, Floor, IMAG L, IMAG R) ili tvoje ime. Biraš i da li je novi ekran kopija trenutnog ili polazi od podrazumevanih vrednosti.

• Uvek vidiš jedan ekran. Klik na njegovo ime ga otvara, i sve u panelu važi za njega: dimenzije, kabinet, rezolucija, prazna mesta, kačenje, smer lanca i opcija rasporeda.
• Svaki ekran ima svoju boju, istu u traci, na rasporedu, mapi piksela i u PDF-u. Naslov ekrana, sekcije koje važe samo za njega (dimenzije, rezolucija kabineta) i okvir šeme obojeni su bojom ekrana koji je otvoren, pa se odmah vidi šta menjaš. Boja ostaje uz ekran i kad obrišeš neki drugi ekran.
• Sekcije sa oznakom SVI EKRANI su zajedničke za sve ekrane: osvežavanje, bitaža, rezerva porta, procesor, backup i naziv fajla. Svi ekrani idu na isti procesor.
• U naslovu ekrana su ✎ preimenuj, ⧉ dupliraj i 🗑 obriši.
• Portovi se nižu redom ekrana, npr. Main 1–3, Left 4–5, Right 6–8. Raspored unutar svakog ekrana ostaje automatski. Kartica „Broj portova” pokazuje portove ekrana i zbir (Σ). Provera procesora i tabela redundanse važe za sve portove.
• Raspored ekrana prikazuje ono što procesor dobija: raster sa svim ekranima na njihovim X/Y pozicijama. Ekrani se sami slažu: Main u sredini, Left, IMAG L i nazivi koji se završavaju sa „ L” levo od njega, Right, IMAG R i nazivi sa „ R” desno, a ostali iza njih. Portovi i dalje idu redom dodavanja.
  • Ekran možeš da prevučeš mišem ili da mu upišeš X/Y. Pri prevlačenju se lepi za ivice drugih ekrana i za njihov centar: kad je ekran na sredini drugog, pojavi se providna linija kroz centar. Zgodno za manji ekran ispod većeg.
  • ⟲ Složi automatski ih vraća u red.
  • Ekrani koji se preklapaju prikazuju isti deo slike, npr. dva ista bočna ekrana.
• Kod više ekrana nema podele na više sending jedinica. Ako jedan procesor nije dovoljan, izaberi veći.

Izvoz sa više ekrana

• Generiši .scr: jedan fajl sa svim ekranima. Svaki ekran je zaseban NovaLCT Standard Screen na svom X/Y.
• Resolume XML: jedan izlaz (procesor) sa po jednim slice-om za svaki ekran.
• Snimi mapu piksela: ceo raster. Svaki ekran ima okvir i naziv u svojoj boji, a koordinate su globalne.
• Snimi parametre čuva sve ekrane. Stari fajlovi se učitavaju kao jedan ekran.
• PDF: uvek svi ekrani. Prvo ide strana Pregled sistema: raspored ekrana, tabela ekrana, zbirovi i provera procesora. Uz Video stranu ide i Video i Resolume za ceo raster, sa mapom piksela. Zatim idu izabrane strane za svaki ekran redom, sa imenom ekrana u naslovu („Left — Šema signala — spreda”). Tabela redundanse ide jednom, na kraju.
• Test slika i JPG se prave samo za ekran koji je trenutno otvoren.

U tabu Osnovno radiš samo sa ekranom koji je bio otvoren. Ostali ostaju sačuvani i vraćaju se kad pređeš u Pro tab.

Pro: multiple screens

In the Pro tab, under Basic | Pro, there is a bar with the screens. + Add screen offers ready names (Main, Left, Right, Center, DJ booth, Side fill, Upstage, Floor, IMAG L, IMAG R) or your own name. You also choose whether the new screen is a copy of the current one or starts from default values.

• You always see one screen. Clicking its name opens it, and everything in the panel applies to it: size, cabinet, resolution, blank positions, hanging, chain direction and layout option.
• Each screen has its own colour, the same in the bar, the layout, the pixel map and the PDF. The screen header, the sections that belong to that screen only (dimensions, cabinet resolution) and the diagram frame take the colour of the open screen, so you always see what you are editing. The colour stays with the screen when you delete another one.
• Sections marked ALL SCREENS are shared by all screens: refresh rate, bit depth, port headroom, processor, backup and file name. All screens go to the same processor.
• The screen title has ✎ rename, ⧉ duplicate and 🗑 delete.
• Ports continue in screen order, e.g. Main 1–3, Left 4–5, Right 6–8. The layout inside each screen stays automatic. The “Number of ports” card shows the screen's ports and the total (Σ). The processor check and the redundancy table cover all ports.
• Screen layout shows what the processor receives: the raster with every screen at its X/Y position. Screens arrange themselves: Main in the middle, Left, IMAG L and names ending in “ L” to its left, Right, IMAG R and names ending in “ R” to its right, and the rest after them. Ports still follow the order in which screens were added.
  • You can drag a screen or type its X/Y. While dragging it snaps to the edges of other screens and to their centre: when it sits on another screen's centre, a faint line through the centre appears. Handy for a smaller screen under a larger one.
  • ⟲ Arrange automatically puts them back in a row.
  • Overlapping screens show the same part of the image, e.g. two identical side screens.
• With multiple screens there is no splitting across several sending units. If one processor is not enough, choose a bigger one.

Export with multiple screens

• Generate .scr: one file with all screens. Each screen is a separate NovaLCT Standard Screen at its X/Y.
• Resolume XML: one output (the processor) with one slice per screen.
• Save pixel map: the whole raster. Each screen is framed and named in its own color, and the coordinates are global.
• Save parameters keeps all screens. Older files load as one screen.
• PDF: always all screens. The first page is a System overview: the screen layout, a screen table, totals and the processor check. With the Video page there is also Video and Resolume for the whole raster, with the pixel map. Then come the selected pages for each screen in turn, with the screen name in the title (“Left — Signal wiring — front view”). The redundancy table comes once, at the end.
• The test screen and JPG are made only for the screen that is currently open.

In the Basic tab you work only with the screen that was open. The others stay saved and come back when you switch to the Pro tab.

Sažetak i kablovi

Sažetak ispod šeme redom navodi: broj kabineta (i koliko je praznih mesta), težinu, prosečnu potrošnju, efektivnu dimenziju, rezoluciju po kabinetu i ukupnu, raspored po portovima, ukupno portova, backup, spisak kablova, upozorenja i provere procesora.

Potrebni kablovi

• 5 m (port) — po jedan za svaki port; isto toliko backup kablova kad je backup uključen.
• 0,5 m (kratak link) — između susednih kabineta.
• 1 m (duži link) — vertikalno između visokih (0.5 × 1) kabineta.
• nesusedni kabineti — skok preko praznih mesta ili dijagonala; stvarna dužina, zaokruženo naviše na 0,5 m.

Preko 2000 kabineta alat upozorava da se fajl pravi, ali da ga treba proveriti na terenu.

Summary and cables

The summary under the diagram lists, in order: cabinet count (and how many blank positions), weight, average consumption, effective size, resolution per cabinet and total, port layout, total ports, backup, cable list, warnings and processor checks.

Cables needed

• 5 m (port) — one per port; the same number of backup cables when backup is on.
• 0.5 m (short link) — between adjacent cabinets.
• 1 m (longer link) — vertical between tall (0.5 × 1) cabinets.
• non-adjacent cabinets — jump over blank positions or a diagonal; real length, rounded up to 0.5 m.

Above 2000 cabinets the tool warns that the file will be generated, but should be verified on site.

Test slika

• Samo test slika — slika kako će izgledati na ekranu, kao ravna mreža kabineta (bez razmaka između portova).
• Snimi test sliku — preuzima PNG u tačnoj rezoluciji ekrana (naziv-test-ŠxV.png), spremnu za puštanje na ekran.
• Snimi mapu piksela — otvara prozor sa tri gotova izgleda i prilagođenim ispod njih, svaki sa prikazom, pa Preuzmi PNG u istoj rezoluciji (naziv-pixelmap-ŠxV.png). Izbor se pamti i važi i za PDF.
  • Jednostavna: ekran u jednoj boji, mreža kabineta, veličina i koordinate. Za dizajnera sadržaja.
  • Standardna: blok svakog porta u boji porta sa nazivom i koordinatama (x, y, širina × visina), kabineti sa oznakom port.redni broj, prazna mesta sa X, koordinate uglova i, kod podele, zona svake sending jedinice. Za video operatera.
  • Detaljna: kao standardna, plus lanac kabineta (strelice) i kolona/red na svakom kabinetu. Za tehničara.
  • Prilagođena (ispod, sa velikim prikazom): kućicama biraš šta se crta: portovi u boji (sa koordinatama bloka), oznake kabineta, kolona/red, lanac kabineta (strelice), krug, krst (dijagonale), ime ekrana, rezolucija i koordinate. Podrazumevano su uključeni krug, krst i ime/rezolucija. Prikaz se menja odmah, a izbor se pamti.

Na slici su: svaki kabinet u svojoj nijansi sa oznakom kolone/reda i rednim brojem, prazna mesta crna sa crvenim X, dijagonale, krst i krugovi (za geometriju), polje sa rezolucijom, dimenzijom i pitch-om, kolor trake, R/G/B i siva skala 0–100 %, trouglovi na ivicama i okvir od 1 px.

Ograničenje browsera: najviše 16384 px po strani i 120 MP ukupno. Test slika se ne izvozi u PDF/JPG.

Test screen

• Test screen only — the image as it will look on the screen, as a flat cabinet grid (no gaps between ports).
• Save test screen — downloads a PNG at the exact screen resolution (name-test-WxH.png), ready to play on the screen.
• Save pixel map — opens a window with three ready styles and a custom one below them, each with a preview, then Download PNG at the same resolution (name-pixelmap-WxH.png). The choice is remembered and also used in the PDF.
  • Simple: the screen in one colour, cabinet grid, size and coordinates. For the content designer.
  • Standard: each port's block in its port colour with its name and coordinates (x, y, width × height), cabinets labeled port.chain number, blank positions with an X, the corner coordinates and, when split, each sending unit's zone. For the video operator.

Napajanje ⚡

Dugme ⚡ (gornji desni ugao šeme) prikazuje šemu kabliranja struje. U tom prikazu su i kartice, legenda, sažetak, panel ispod šeme i PDF/JPG samo za struju.

Kako ide struja

• Jedan dovod 32 A 3f napaja 2 breakout boksa.
• Breakout boks ima 3 izlaza powerCON 16 A — po jedan na svakoj fazi.
• Jedno kolo = jedan izlaz boksa → prvi kabinet → powerCON link od kabineta do kabineta.

Kontrole (panel ispod šeme)

• Vršna struja 1,5× / 2× prosečne (podrazumevano 2×) — vršna struja kabineta = prosečna × faktor. Kabinet kratkog reda računa se upola.
• Kolo do 100 / 90 / 80 % (podrazumevano 90 % = 14,4 A) — koliko se jedno powerCON 16 A kolo sme opteretiti.
• ⚖ Ujednači faze (prekidač, svetli kad je uključen):
  • isključeno — kola se pune celim redovima, „zmijom”, od strane struje (na podu od donjeg reda, okačen od gornjeg). Red koji ne staje u jedno kolo deli se ravnomerno. Kola idu redom L1, L2, L3 u svakom boksu, pa faze mogu biti neravnomerne.
  • uključeno — najmanji broj boksova koji struja dozvoljava, a kabineti se ravnomerno dele na sva kola, pa su faze podjednako opterećene. Kolo tada može početi usred reda.

Na šemi

• Boja kabineta = faza: L1, L2, L3.
• Crni krug sa oznakom 2L1 = početak kola: boks 2, faza L1. Brojevi u kabinetima su redosled u kolu.
• Crna linija sa » = powerCON link, redom od početka kola.
• Okvir u boji = jedan breakout boks („Breakout N”). Okvir prati stvarni oblik boksa, i kad počinje ili završava usred reda.

Glavni dovod

Alat bira najmanji dovod koji pokriva najopterećeniju fazu, punom jačinom (100 %):

Jedan boks može direktno na 16 A. Više boksova traži bar 32 A, a više dovoda 32 A traži razdelu, pa bar 63 A.

Kartice i izveštaj

• Kartice: Dimenzija · Prosečna — zbir 3 faze · Vršna — zbir 3 faze · Vršna — po fazi (najveća) sa oznakom faze, npr. „24 A (L1)” · Glavni dovod (po fazi) · Breakout boksova.
• 1. Glavni dovod — izabrani dovod, struja po fazama, najopterećenija faza u % dovoda i zbir 3 faze (sa napomenom da to nije jačina dovoda).
• 2. Breakout boksovi — za svaki boks, po fazi: traka opterećenja prema 16 A i šta to kolo napaja (redovi, broj kabineta, početak: kolona i red od gornjeg levog ugla) ili „slobodan izlaz”.
• 3. Šta treba — glavni dovod, razdela i kablovi 32 A (ako trebaju), kablovi 16 A, breakout boksovi, powerCON kablovi (boks → prvi kabinet) i powerCON linkovi.

Vršna struja je procena (prosečna × faktor). Za osigurače i razvod uvek proveri podatke proizvođača kabineta.

Power ⚡

The ⚡ button (top-right corner of the diagram) shows the power cabling. In this view the cards, legend, summary, the panel under the diagram and PDF/JPG are all about power.

How power is distributed

• One 32 A 3-ph feed supplies 2 breakout boxes.
• A breakout box has 3 powerCON 16 A outputs — one on each phase.
• One circuit = one box output → first cabinet → powerCON link from cabinet to cabinet.

Controls (panel under the diagram)

• Peak draw 1.5× / 2× avg. (default 2×) — cabinet peak draw = average × factor. A short-row cabinet counts as half.
• Circuit up to 100 / 90 / 80 % (default 90 % = 14.4 A) — how much one powerCON 16 A circuit may be loaded.
• ⚖ Balance phases (toggle, highlighted when on):
  • off — circuits are filled with whole rows, as a “snake”, from the power side (on the ground from the bottom row, hung from the top row). A row that doesn't fit into one circuit is split evenly. Circuits go L1, L2, L3 in each box, so phases can be uneven.
  • on — the fewest boxes the current allows, with cabinets spread evenly over all circuits, so phases are equally loaded. A circuit may then start mid-row.

On the diagram

• Cabinet color = phase: L1, L2, L3.
• Black disc labeled 2L1 = circuit start: box 2, phase L1. Numbers in cabinets are the order within the circuit.
• Black line with » = powerCON link, in order from the circuit start.
• Colored frame = one breakout box (“Breakout N”). The frame follows the real shape of the box, even when it starts or ends mid-row.

Main supply

The tool picks the smallest supply that covers the most loaded phase, at full rating (100 %):

One box can go directly on 16 A. More boxes need at least 32 A, and more 32 A feeds need a distro, so at least 63 A.

Cards and report

• Cards: Dimension · Average — sum of 3 phases · Peak — sum of 3 phases · Peak — per phase (highest) with the phase, e.g. “24 A (L1)” · Main supply (per phase) · Breakout boxes.
• 1. Main supply — the chosen supply, current per phase, the most loaded phase as % of the supply and the sum of 3 phases (noting it's not the supply rating).
• 2. Breakout boxes — for each box, per phase: a load bar against 16 A and what that circuit feeds (rows, cabinet count, start: column and row from the top-left corner) or “free output”.
• 3. What you need — main supply, distro and 32 A cables (if needed), 16 A cables, breakout boxes, powerCON cables (box → first cabinet) and powerCON links.

Peak draw is an estimate (average × factor). For breakers and distribution always check the cabinet manufacturer's data.

Izvoz i parametri

• Naziv fajla — sam se popunjava (npr. Ekran-6x4m-128px) dok ga ne promeniš. Nedozvoljeni znakovi se menjaju u „_”.
• Generiši .scr — fajl za NovaLCT: mapiranje svakog kabineta (položaj i veličina), prazna mesta, jedinice kod podele i fizički brojevi portova kod backup-a na istoj jedinici. Ispod piše veličina fajla i broj kabineta. Ne radi ako raspored nije moguć.
• Resolume XML — preset za Resolume Arena (Output → Advanced Output → Presets → Import). Kompozicija je cela rezolucija ekrana, a za svaku sending jedinicu postoji po jedan izlaz. Svaka jedinica uzima svoj deo slike na istom mestu kao u .scr fajlu. U Areni svakom izlazu dodeli pravi izlaz grafičke.
• PDF — otvara prozor za izbor:
  • Za koga: Klijent, LED tehničar ili Video operater. Svaki unapred štiklira svoje strane, a mogu se menjati.
  • Strane: pregled ekrana, šema signala spreda i otpozadi, backup i tabela redundanse, napajanje, kačenje, video i Resolume. Backup i kačenje mogu se izabrati samo kad su uključeni.
  • Papir: A4 ili A3, položeno ili uspravno, i Crno-belo (za štampu) (faze i portovi u nijansama sive).
  • Projekat: naziv, klijent, lokacija, datum, revizija i ko je pripremio. Piše se na svakoj strani, uz „Strana n / N”, i pamti se za sledeći put (osim datuma).
  Šeme su oštre na svakom uvećanju, a tekst može da se označi i pretraži. Ime fajla dobija oznaku čitaoca, npr. Ekran-6x4m-128px-tehnicar.pdf.
• JPG — kartice i šema u tamnoj temi, u dvostrukoj rezoluciji.
• Snimi parametre — .json sa svim podešavanjima: dimenzije, kabinet, mod, procesor, backup, podela, izabrana opcija, prazna mesta, kačenje, podešavanja struje i ⚖, naziv fajla.
• Učitaj parametre — vraća sve iz sačuvanog .json. Stariji fajlovi se učitavaju sa podrazumevanim vrednostima za ono što tada nije postojalo.

Export and parameters

• File name — filled in automatically (e.g. Screen-6x4m-128px) until you change it. Invalid characters are replaced with “_”.
• Generate .scr — the file for NovaLCT: mapping of every cabinet (position and size), blank positions, units when split, and physical port numbers for backup on the same unit. Below it shows the file size and cabinet count. Disabled if the layout isn't possible.
• Resolume XML — a preset for Resolume Arena (Output → Advanced Output → Presets → Import). The composition is the full screen resolution, with one output per sending unit. Each unit takes its part of the image at the same position as in the .scr file. In Arena, assign each output to a real graphics output.
• PDF — opens a dialog:
  • For whom: Client, LED technician or Video operator. Each pre-selects its pages, which you can change.
  • Pages: screen overview, signal wiring front and rear view, backup and redundancy table, power, rigging, video and Resolume. Backup and rigging can only be chosen when they are on.
  • Paper: A4 or A3, landscape or portrait, and Black and white (for printing) (phases and ports in shades of gray).
  • Project: name, client, venue, date, revision and who prepared it. Printed on every page with “Page n / N”, and remembered for next time (except the date).
  Diagrams stay sharp at any zoom, and the text can be selected and searched. The file name gets the reader's label, e.g. Screen-6x4m-128px-tehnicar.pdf.
• JPG — cards and diagram in the dark theme, at double resolution.
• Save parameters — a .json with all settings: dimensions, cabinet, mode, processor, backup, split, chosen option, blank positions, hanging, power settings and ⚖, file name.
• Load parameters — restores everything from a saved .json. Older files load with defaults for anything that didn't exist then.

Poruke i saveti

Saveti

• Za ekran sa izrezima prvo označi prazna mesta, pa tek onda biraj opciju — opcije se računaju za ekran kakav jeste.
• Pre montaže snimi parametre: kasnije u sekundi dobiješ istu šemu i isti .scr.
• Test sliku pusti na ekranu odmah posle učitavanja .scr: odmah se vidi da li je neki kabinet na pogrešnom mestu.
• Kad je ekran okačen, uključi kačenje pre šeme napajanja — smer kola zavisi od toga.

Messages and tips

Tips

• For a screen with cut-outs, mark the blank positions first, then choose the option — options are calculated for the screen as it is.
• Save the parameters before the job: later you get the same diagram and the same .scr in seconds.
• Play the test image on the screen right after loading the .scr: you immediately see if a cabinet is in the wrong place.
• If the screen is hung, switch hanging on before looking at the power cabling — the circuit direction depends on it.

Privatnost i verzija

Alat ne prikuplja, ne šalje i ne deli lične podatke. Jezik, mod i podrazumevane vrednosti kabineta čuvaju se samo na uređaju; generisani fajlovi ostaju kod tebe. Na portalu se .scr pravi na serveru, posle prijave.

Uputstvo važi za verziju 2.0 (beta) sa šemom napajanja.

Privacy and version

The tool does not collect, send or share personal data. Language, mode and default cabinet values are stored only on the device; generated files stay with you. On the portal the .scr is produced on the server, after sign-in.

This guide applies to version 2.0 (beta) with power cabling.
