4. Configuration And Operation
Configuration and operation of the C6 panels is done with the LED Studio software, and either the
VIP™ Media Server Pro and VIP™ Signal Processor, or the media server software of your choice.
The C6 panels require 1 VIP™ Driver for each 102 C6 panels.
Video systems vary in size and complexity. The C6 panels can be used in a simple system with a
media server and a VIP™ Driver to panels in a rectangular connection; or the panels can be part of
a complex system with multiple inputs to panels in a fragmented or rotated connection, as shown in
the
Panel Configurations
Regardless of the panel connection or the system complexity, LED Studio and the VIP™ Driver are
required to configure and use the panels. For more information about LED Studio see the User
Manual available from the Chauvet website at
literature/.
Testing The Panels
To test the C6 panel, press <TEST> the back of the panel. This test runs a program that checks the
C6 circuitry and all the LEDs.
LED Studio Software
LED Studio is an easy-to-use mapping tool. It runs on a PC and works seamlessly with the VIP™
Driver so that the content can be adjusted to display properly on any connection pattern of C6
panel. For more information about LED Studio, see the User Manual available from the Chauvet
website at http://www.chauvetlighting.com/product-manuals-literature/.
VIP™ Driver
VIP™ Driver is the hardware interface between LED Studio, or the video input source, and the C6
panels. For more information about the VIP™ Driver see the User Manual available from the
Chauvet website at http://www.chauvetlighting.com/product-manuals-literature/.
