System Components
The HELIOS LED Processing Platform was designed to support high density display products for use in pro A/V,
broadcast, and production applications. The HELIOS Processor is compatible with video sources that have up to 8K
resolution (i.e media servers, production network switchers, and broadcast cameras). The HELIOS system will
automatically integrate system components as they are connected or replaced.
The HELIOS system consists of a Processor unit and one or more network switches. The HELIOS Processor is designed to
be located near the video source. The HELIOS Processor ingests the source video and converts it into a ber signal. The
HELIOS Processor is also responsible for serving the web based user interface (web UI) that is the user interface of the
system. The network switches carry both the video signal and the communication signals to and from from panels. As
such, there is information passing in both directions on the HELIOS ber links that can be up to 10km in length.
