Term Definition
Master ECU Only one master ECU can be assigned to a canvas. This master supplies the global
video source.
Slave ECU: Supplies local video sources in multiple ECU configurations.
Canvas A group of tiles and ECUs that are connected together electronically. To constitute a
can
vas, tiles do not need to be physically adjacent to one another. The maximum
number of tiles in a canvas is 200, and the maximum number of ECUs is 16.
Array A group of tiles that are physically connected to each other. A canvas may include
multiple arrays. Video sources are mapped to arrays of tiles. Each array represents a
new source mapping.
Sub-array A group of tiles within an array that are configured to display either the local or
global video source. A single array may contain multiple subarrays.
Media Source Provides the source for the input signal.
Global Source The media source connected to the master ECU also functions as a “global source”.
The global source can be displayed on any group of tiles connected to the local
source input (HSSL-1) side of the master ECU. In a closed loop canvas, all tiles can
display the global source.
Local Source The media source connected to an ECU as a “local source”, feeding the local set of
tiles connected to its local source output (HSSL-2).
Open/Closed Loop An open loop canvas terminates with the last tile in the canvas, which is not
connected back to the first ECU. In a closed loop canvas, the last tile in the canvas is
connected back to the first ECU. There are no unused Display Port connections in a
closed loop canvas.
