2 PRODUCT INSTRUCTION

CK4L-3200 full-color LED video processor is a new product developed by Shenzhen

Createk electronic Co., LTD., and it is designed to fulfill the requirement of LED video

wall application, such as indoor and outdoor advertising display, concert hall, stage

entertainment, etc.CK4L-3200 supports almost all kinds of signal input (for details please

refer to the instruction of other related chapter), and the VGA and DVI (HDMI) interface

output support up to 25 kinds of output resolution. CK4L-3200 can built-in two full color

LED sending cards, and it more convenient for installation and maintenance ; What you

see is what you get control software not need complex window preset operation; The

preset 16 modes meet different applications needs, and also support mode cycle. There

are four kinds of mode:

1. Normal mode: single window, all can freely switch between input signals. No

transition effect when you switch to the next signal, and may have a small black

screen. Implementation of VGA, DVI, HDMI three screen content interception of

signals. Normal mode, the machine will recognize all of the supporting information

such as the input signal resolution refresh rate and display it on the LCD.

2. Triple window mode: In this mode, it can open two or three windows simultaneously,

and realize picture in picture, picture out of picture and window overlaying etc.

Window position and size can be set freely.

3. Fade modes: It has single window and double window. In Single window Fade modes,

all the signals can be seamless switch arbitrarily, and the switch time is optional. In

double window fade modes, the Fade-in/fade-out effect only in the window A. At the

moment, window B overlay on the window A. The signal source, size and position of

window B are adjustable.

4. Picture overlaying mode: In picture overlaying mode, the subtitles came from HDMI

input signal. Through the panel buttons or control software, you can directly select

the signal source of the subtitles. In this mode, the purely black part of the HDMI

signal will display in the covered signal picture and then output after being filtered off

(Currently this mode only supports HDMI input, and the background color of the

input signal source is pure black).

4.3 Five kinds of mode

4.3.1 Normal mode

In normal mode, the first line of LED real-time displays the currently-selected signal

source. Aiming at signal source type, it displays the resolution, refresh rate, color system

and other information of the signal source. The second line shows the size of current

window of output picture. In normal mode, all of the signal source switch can realize by

pressing front panel buttons (eight signal source buttons in total). When any signal

source button is pressed, the output appears black screen for seconds, and then outputs

the selected signal.

4.3.1.1 Open normal mode

Method 1: After “factory reset “operation, the processor is in normal mode. (Not suggest

using this method)

Method 2: Close picture overlaying mode, fade-in/fade-out mode and triple windows

mode simultaneously.

4.3.1.2 Settings of picture capture (need to operate in formal mode)

When you just want to display a certain region of the input signal, you can use picture

capture to clip contents of the signal source in pixel level. Picture capture function only

available for VGA and DVI, HDMI signals.

The steps of Setup picture capture region:

① ： Switch the signal source to any of VGA, DVI or HDMI.

② ： Open picture capture function. LCD at normal status →【Menu】→press【↑】 or

【↓】buttons to select menu item "4. window capture（window capture）" (The left side

has triangle indicator) →【Enter】→press 【↑】or【↓】to select submenu “a , capture”.

→press 【←】 or 【→】 to select "on”. Picture capture function is now in normal use.

③ ： Set picture capture region. (Need to close fade-in/fade-out mode and picture

overlaying mode first). Picture capture is to capture input signal. Setting of picture

capture region need four parameters: width, height, horizontal start and vertical start.

Here the "width" means capture how many pixels in a horizontal direction.


- 8 -

Here the "High" means capture how many pixels in a vertical direction;

"horizontal start (H start)” means capture start in a horizontal direction;

"vertical start (V start)” means capture start in a vertical direction;

After proper setting of the four parameters, you can capture the region that want to display

for output.

Setting steps: firstly, enter into Setting Menu. LCD at normal status→【Menu】→press

【↑】 or【↓】to select menu item"4. window capture（window capture）"→【Enter】.Then

select parameters that need to adjust. Press 【↑】 or【↓】to Select submenu "b. A-H-W

(A _ width)" / "c.A-V-H (A _ height”)/ "d.A-H-S) (A _H start") / "e.A-V-S (A _V start)".

Press the “←” or “→” button to increase or decrease values of the parameter. Adjust the

value step by step， Press【Stp】to switch among ：1、10 or 100.

4.3.1.3 Setting of Output resolution, window size and window position. (Need to

close fade-in/fade-out mode and picture overlaying mode first)

The window size and position of output picture can adjust arbitrarily. Operation methods

are as follows:

① Enter into window adjustment menu.LCD at normal status→【Menu】→ press 【↑】

or【↓】to select Menu item "1. Output Setup" (The left side has triangle

indicator)→【Enter】

② Setting of resolution. (If do not need to change resolution, directly press 【↓】

button to enter into the setting of window size and location). Entering into

submenu, the first item is “O- resolution” (output resolution selection). press 【←】

or 【→】 to select the resolution that you want(25 kinds in total). Then press

“Enter” to confirm into effect.

③ Setting of window size and location. Enter into the "output Setup" interface, and

press 【↑】 or“↓”to select submenu "b.H-W" (horizontal width)or "c.V-H" (vertical

height)or "d.H-S "(horizontal start) or "e.V-S "(vertical start) .Press 【←】or

【→】 to increase or decrease value of parameters. Adjust the value step by

step，Press【Stp】to switch among ：1、10 or 100.

Attentions: 1、When Setting of window size and location, the four data need to meet two

requirements: “Horizontal start”+ "horizontal width" can't exceed output resolution pixels in

horizontal direction, "vertical start" + "vertical height" can't exceed output resolution pixels in

vertical direction. For example: the resolution is “1024 * 768”, the "horizontal start " +

"horizontal width" cannot exceed 1024, and "vertical start" + "vertical height" can't exceed 768.

2、When you adjust "horizontal start ", if the value can't continue to increase, you should

decrease the "horizontal width"; When you adjust "horizontal width", if the value can't continue

to increase, then decrease the "horizontal start" .Adjustment on vertical direction is the same

as above

4.3.1.4 Exit normal mode.

There is no item "exit normal mode" in menu. When you need to use other modes, open it

directly and exit normal mode.

4.3.2 Single-picture fade-in/fade-out mode (Need to close picture overlaying mode

first)

In single-picture fade-in /fade-out mode, the processor just output any one signal and

window. All input signals can realize seamless switching without black screen .There are

four switching speed for selection. In this mode, pressing signal source button to select

signal, the processor won't immediately output the signal, but to make output preparation.

It won't output the signal until you press【 Take 】button . If the selected signal do not

input, it will not conduct switch operation when you press the【Take】button, and the LCD

panel displays "no signal input".

“0s”/“1s”/“2s”/“3s”. Then the setting takes into effect.

4.3.2.3 Settings of window size and location

In this mode, window size setting is not available .You should set it in normal mode. The

operation method is as follows: Enter into normal mode, and adjust the window size and

location. Reentering into this mode, it will keep the window size, location and resolution

settings in normal mode. (Please refer to foregoing content)

4.3.2.4 Setting of picture capturing
