Megapixel HELIOS Junior

8 ports · 3.4 M px · figures from the maker's specification

This page gives what the Megapixel HELIOS Junior carries: its ports, pixel capacity and canvas as the sheet publishes them, and how many of each cabinet in the library one port takes at the planner's 80% ceiling.

8 gigabit ports at 425,000 px each at 12-bit 60 Hz, 3.4 M px in total. The maker publishes its capacities at 12-bit only, so the same figure stands at every bit depth; an 8-bit wall has headroom the sheet does not quantify. The canvas limit is not published.

Source: HELIOS user guide: 8 × 1 Gb copper SFP outputs direct to tiles, 425,000 px per port at 12-bit 60 Hz. No total is published for the Junior; 3.4 M is eight ports at that figure. Canvas limit not published.

Walls one unit drives

The largest 16:9 picture inside 3.4 M px is 2,458 × 1,382 px. A UHD canvas, 3,840 × 2,160 px, is 4.89 M px more than this unit drives. Refresh above 60 Hz scales the capacity down as 60 divided by the rate; 10-bit colour takes it to 425,000 px per port.

Panels per port

Every cabinet in the library, grouped by resolution: a port carries pixels, so two cabinets with the same pixel count load it alike whatever their pitch or size. The per-port count is at 80% of 425,000 px, 60 Hz, at 8-bit and at 10-bit; the last column is how many of that cabinet the unit's total capacity covers with no ceiling. Rigging, power and the wiring plan for a wall of any of them come from the planner.

Other processors
