What Matters When Selecting H15
Chassis Sizing
H Series selection starts with source count, layer count, total LED load and output-card architecture. A larger chassis is not automatically necessary if the smaller model has enough card slots and layers.
Modular I/O
Input and output capabilities depend on the cards installed in the chassis. Quote requests should include source types, number of sources, LED canvas resolution and redundancy requirements.

Project checklist
Before Buying or Replacing H15
Screen Resolution
Record total width × height, cabinet resolution and Ethernet-port mapping.
Receiving Cards
Identify the exact receiving-card model, hub board and current configuration file.
Video / Content Source
List the required video connectors or publishing method instead of assuming another model has the same inputs.
Software & Firmware
Match the controller/player generation before upgrading firmware or configuration software.
Replacement Goal
Decide whether you need a drop-in spare or a platform upgrade with new features.
Backup
Keep mapping, receiving-card parameters, firmware information and photos before service work.
