3. Components of a fixed ILite display
3.2 ILite tile
Introduction ILite tile
The ILite display is delivering a quality picture of a video cube without its inherent technology limits as hotspot-effect, jailhouse-
effect, alignment problems and low contrast level. But offering shallow depth, long lifetime, increased ruggedness and incredible
picture dynamics. Built-in intelligence provides for auto-calibration of the full display, hot swap of tiles and diagnostic capabilities.
An embedded PC equips every ILite tile, providing it with intelligence and advanced logic handling capabilities. This PC is the host
of a great deal of the added value offered by the ILite. An extreme fill factor and high resolution offers a full color blended picture at
distances smaller than 3 meters. Half of the full brightness is still perceived at angles of 145º from the surface of the display.

Functionality
All tiles in an ILite display are connected in series via a data path. The physical location of a tile in the data path does not matter
because within the ILite display all tiles are equal. But the data path must be created in a daisy chain manner. Each tile picks out a
part of the video information of the data stream on the data path a
nd processes this information for displaying on its LED’s.
The ILite tiles need to be powered up with a supply voltage of 200-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 1.45 amps at 230 VAC.
Re-sync unit
Every tile contains a re-sync unit (A) which can easily be removed. The re-sync unit synchronizes the incoming data stream and
sends it to the next tile. The data ports (B) on the re-sync unit are bidirectional. So, it doesn’tmatter on which port the data is coming
in, the re-sync unit switches the functionality of th
e data ports spontaneously between input and output. Furthermore the re-sync
unit is equipped with status LED’s (C) for diagnostic purposes.

The re-sync unit can easily be removed from the ILite tile without disconnecting the data cables. This allows
a hot swap of the ILite tile.
Cables used with ILite tiles
The display tile is provided with power via a power split cable with a C13 plug. Data cabling between tiles is done with a DVI-DVI
data cable of 0,9 meter.
