2 EC CUBE with LED Projection Engine
About this ProduCtThe new LED cubes from eyevis share all the benefits of DLP® technology, just like conventional lamp-based cubes. This is why it was not necessary to create an absolutely new technology to generate images for the LED cubes. The existing technology has only been adapted to the new LED light source. As a result, the only difference between LED cubes and lamp-based cubes is the light source used for rear projection.The DMD™ chip used in the new LED cubes is exactly the same type as in any other DLP® lamp cube. Compared with traditional lamp-based cubes, however, the LED cubes do not contain any wear parts, such as colour wheels and projection lamps.

Product overview
AsseMblyThis section describes how to install the monitor wall. This includes assembling the frames, setting up the monitors and inserting the screens.
Mounting the frame
RequirementsCheck if the floor is suitable for installing a cube wall. Depending on the configuration, the ground has to be adjusted to the wall. If you use a double floor, there has to be a fixed connection of the boards to the supports.
Space requirements • Leave a gap of at least 60 cm to the building wall when installing the
video wall. This space is necessary to enable service work and sufficient air circulation.
• If the video wall is installed on a movable frame, a minimum gap of 10 cm is necessary at the back to allow for sufficient air circulation.
• Ensure that the distance to the ceiling is at least 15 cm for adjusting the mirror of the projection cube.
• If the video wall is higher than three metres, it should be secured at the back to the building wall. Please contact our project team for detailed information on wall mounting.
1 Distance to ceiling: 15 cm at least
2Distance to building wall: 60 cm at leastNarrower distances are possible with fixed installations provided that a rail-mounted frame is used.

AsseMbly
To assemble the frame:1. Connect both side frames (A) and (B) with the five crossbars (C) – (G)
using the screws (H). When mounting the upper two crossbars, make sure that the upper front crossbar (G) has two screw threads. Mount this crossbar so that both threads are facing downwards so that the screws can be used later to adjust the screens (see below).
2. Screw the corner plates (L1) into each bottom corner of the frame. Use the screws and washers (L2) provided.
3. Now install the levelling feet (N1, N2) (used for adjusting the height of the frame) to the corner plates as illustrated in Fig. 8, step 3. Please observe the correct order of screws, nuts and washers (N3) to ensure that the frame feet are properly secured.
4. Mount the screen adjustment plates (I1) with the screws and washers (I3) to the bottom of crossbar (G) and screw the adjustment screws (I2) into the screen adjustment plates (I1) (see Fig. 8, step 4).
5. Once the frame has been installed, make sure that it is absolutely horizontal when it is in its final position. This makes the installation of further frames and the final installation of the cube housings far easier and prevents the individual parts from moving.
Connecting the frames together 3 You have aligned the frames.
► Connect the frames together before stacking the cubes on top of them. To do this, use the screws (O2) and washers and hexagon nuts (O3) provided.

CoMMissioning (ConfigurAtion)The cubes have to be configured before the video wall can be commissioned. Two programs are available to help you configure the cubes: eyeCube software and EC-Lcontrol. Both programs are stored on the CD provided.
General information on the configuration programsBoth programs for configuring the cubes are used to perform different tasks:
ec-lcontrol: • Colour adjustmenteyecube software: • Communication between PC and cube
• Size of the video wall and assignment of cubes • Adjustment of colour (with EC-Lcontrol) and geometry • Status query of cubes • Gamma adjustment (with EC-Lcontrol) • Generating reports
) note:The EC-Lcontrol program is specially developed for adjusting the colour of the eyevis LED cubes. For this reason, use this program for colour adjustments instead of the colour adjustment function in the eyeCube software.
Program installation and startThe programs do not have to be installed. 1. Simply copy the entire program folder to the desired location you
wish on your PC (usually C:\Programs).2. Open the relevant exe file to launch the programs.
Intelligent user interfaceOnce the connection to the cubes has been established, the programs detect which parts are connected and display the relevant functions on the user interface. The setting parameters are read out from the cubes and displayed in the program windows. Any changes to the settings are saved in the cubes or can be stored in a configuration file on the PC.

To adjust the cubes to the maximum brightness:This function can be used to adjust the cubes to the maximum brightness regardless of a specific colour temperature.
► Press the button to adjust all cubes to the maximum brightness.
To automatically adjust the cubes:This function is used to automatically calculate the correct set value for both colour and brightness. The software then applies this set value to define a standard colour and brightness for all cubes. The current values of each cube are used to calculate the set value for x and y as well as the brightness. (Note: If the maximum brightness has been set as described above, the current value is the maximum value.) This process is not dependent on a specific colour temperature. A set value that allows the maximum brightness is used.
1. Press the button to get the values recommended by the software. ª The current settings are displayed in the lower part of the window. ª The values are automatically entered in the entry fields. The suggested values are calculated by the software to achieve the optimal setting for all cubes.
ª The brightness of the cubes can be reduced during the colour settings in order to achieve an optimal colour representation.
2. Press the Adjust cube wall button. ª The wall is adjusted to the maximum attainable values.
► If you are not satisfied with the result, you will need to adjust the colour temperature and brightness again. Refer to the following section on how to optimise the “whitepoint”.
To optimise the whitepoint:Example: The wall appears blue on the master display but the desk monitors appear red. In this scenario, instead of setting the maximum brightness, it is more beneficial to find a better whitepoint.

Color temperatureAdjusting the colour temperature.The colour temperature can be entered numerically or changed using the arrow keys. When a colour temperature is entered, the CIE values x and y are intuitively adjusted. This point in the CIE coordinates system is referred to as the whitepoint.The colour temperature is a measurement for the colour rendering of a light source and is represented in the unit [K] Kelvin. Various ambient conditions (daylight, artificial light) display varying colour temperatures. The cube wall can be adjusted to these ambient conditions.The table below displays some of the typical colour temperature values:
Tab. 3: Colour temperatures

LED adjustmentInput the RGB values and apply as CIE offset.
) note:Each cube has its own internal colour sensor calibrated in the factory. To attain a precise colour homogeneity of a cube wall, it can sometimes be necessary to adjust the colours of individual segments. The calibration can be refined by allocating offset values to the colour point of individual cubes. These offsets are permanently saved and used for every colour adjustment. They are not only valid once for the current colour but as general correction values for the internal sensor.
