LED screen wiring configuration – NovaLCT

Novalct

When installing an LED screen, configuring the data cabling in the NovaLCT software is a crucial step to ensure that each cabinet correctly receives the signal. At Deelite Evenements, we handle this operation meticulously so that your LED screens are operational and reliable from the very first power-up.

🔑 Connection & Administrator access

👉 This step is essential to access advanced settings.

🧩 Define the cabinet matrix
🚀 Send & backup
👉 After this step, the LED screen is correctly configured and ready to Receive your video content.

💡 Deelite Tips

  • Connect the computer to the LED processor via USB or RJ45.

  • Start NovaLCT (available on our website).

  • Log in as administrator:

    • Menu: User > Advanced Synchronous System User Login

    • Default password: admin or 666 (a number considered lucky in China, meaning "very good").

    🔌 Data cabling configuration

    ⚠️ Caution: NovaLCT always displays the screen in front view.

    1. Menu: Screen Configuration > Screen Connection.

    2. Click on Configure in the upper right corner.

    3. Select Standard Screen.

    4. Check the width and height in pixels of your cabinets (they must match the information on the sending card).

      • If they differ, enter the correct values ​​and click Apply to Row, then Apply to Column.

    5. Enter the number of columns and rows corresponding to your LED screen.

      • Example: 4 columns × 2 rows → display of 8 cabinets as white rectangles.

      • If the signal physically enters through the lower left cabinet (rear view), in NovaLCT this corresponds to The lower right cabinet (front view). Steps: Click on the first cabinet where the signal enters; it will light up pink with an "S" (Start). Click on the next cabinet following the actual path of the network cable; it will turn pink and the last selected cabinet will display "E". (End).

      • Continue cabinet by cabinet, line by line, until the entire matrix is ​​covered.

        • Horizontal cabling: coil from left to right, then down the next line.

        • Vertical cabling: from bottom to top, then down the adjacent column.

      • Verify that the on-screen layout exactly matches the actual installed cabling.

    1. Click Send to HW to send the configuration.

    2. Confirm with OK → a success message appears.

    3. Click Save to save to the hardware.

    4. Accept the creation of a local backup to keep your settings.

    • Always identify the signal input point before starting the setup.

    • Draw a diagram or take a photo of the actual wiring during installation.

    • Use a built-in test pattern (red, green, blue, white) to verify that each cabinet displays the correct area.

    • Save your configurations as a .scr file for quick deployment on other screens.
