Compatibility
Before Replacing or Buying a Colorlight X6
Check Screen Resolution
Total pixels are not enough. Confirm width, height and per-port cabinet mapping against the model's canvas and output rules.
Check Hardware Revision
Older Colorlight products can have multiple PCB and firmware branches. Record the exact label before firmware updates or replacement.
Check Receiving Cards
Keep the existing receiving-card model, cabinet file and mapping information before changing the sender/controller.
Software & downloads
Software, Firmware & Manual for Colorlight X6
Colorlight's current support center separates iSet, LEDVISION (discontinued), LEDUpgrade, documents and firmware. For older X/Z controllers, the correct software and firmware depend on the hardware generation. Do not flash firmware from a similarly named model.
For this model, verify the exact document/firmware branch against the controller label before deployment.
For model-specific documents or firmware guidance, send your controller label and hardware revision with your request.
System workflow
How Colorlight X6 Fits Into an LED Display
1 · Video Source
Feed the supported HDMI/DVI/DP/SDI or legacy source appropriate to this exact model.
2 · Video Processing
Use the model's supported scaling, switching, cropping, PIP or splicing functions—not features borrowed from another X/Z model.
3 · LED Output
Map the Gigabit Ethernet outputs to receiving cards while staying inside total and per-port loading rules.
