Colorlight X2 LED Video ProcessorProfessional LED Display Controller — 1.3M Pixels, 5 Inputs, 2 Gigabit Ports
Colorlight X2 professional LED display controller: 1.3 million pixel loading through two gigabit outputs, five video inputs (SDI, HDMI, DVI, VGA, CVBS), 1920×1200@60Hz input, and HDCP 1.4 — supplied by Excelled, a trusted LED screen manufacturer for global B2B buyers.
What Is the Colorlight X2 LED Video Processor?
The X2 LED video processor is the entry model of the Colorlight X-series professional controllers. It combines a video processor and sending function in one 1U-class box: five inputs (SDI, HDMI, DVI, VGA, CVBS), 1920×1200@60Hz maximum input, and 1.3 million pixels of loading through two gigabit Ethernet outputs.
The front panel carries a 1.8-inch LCD with a knob plus dedicated function keys — BRIGHT, BLACK, TAKE, PART, FREEZE — and per-source selection keys, so operators run the wall without a PC. Configuration runs in Colorlight’s LEDVISION software over dual USB2.0.
• Loading capacity: 1.3 million pixels; max width/height 2560 px.
• Outputs: 2× gigabit Ethernet.
• Inputs: SDI, HDMI, DVI, VGA, CVBS; max 1920×1200@60Hz.
• Switching: arbitrary input switching with free image zoom; splicing and cascading between controllers.
• HDCP 1.4; brightness and chromaticity adjustment.
• Software: LEDVISION (download from Colorlight).

Why the X2 Serves Small Sync Walls Without a Rack
Processor and Sender in One Box
A classic small-wall rack needs a processor, a sender and the cables between them. The X2 merges both jobs — fewer devices, fewer failure points, and a single configuration session in LEDVISION.
Five Inputs, One Knob
SDI, HDMI, DVI, VGA and CVBS cover broadcast, laptop, PC and legacy sources. The TAKE key switches sources instantly, and FREEZE holds a frame while the presenter fixes the deck — the small-wall toolkit in one panel.
When You Still Need a Bigger Box
The X2 stops at 1.3M pixels and two ports. Walls beyond that move up the X-series ladder: the X4 (2.3M px, 4 ports) and X8m (5.24M px, 8 ports) scale the same workflow.
X2 Pixel Capacity Calculator: Will Your Wall Fit?
The X2 fits walls up to 1,310,720 pixels with 2560 px maximum width or height. Check before quoting.
Example 2 — Does not fit: a 1920×1200 wall = 2,304,000 px — over budget. Result: move up to the Colorlight X4 (2.3M px, 4 ports).
General rule: pixel total ≤ 1.31M, width/height ≤ 2560. Send us your cabinet files for a free load check.
When Should You NOT Choose the X2?
• Your wall exceeds 1.3M pixels or 2560 px — the Colorlight X4 covers 2.3M px with 4 ports.
• You need 4K input — the X8m and X16 take 4096×2160@60Hz.
• You need multi-window layouts — the X16 runs seven-picture display.
• You need 10G fiber outputs — the Z6 Pro owns that class.
The X2 is the cost-efficient small-wall controller — beyond its pixel budget, the X-series ladder takes over with the same software and workflow.

How to Connect the X2 Controller
Four connections put the wall on air; the LCD and knob handle daily operation.
- Power: AC 100–240V.
- Source: SDI/HDMI/DVI/VGA/CVBS into the matching rear input.
- Outputs: CAT5E/CAT6 from the two RJ45 ports to the receiving card chain.
- Configuration: USB A/B from PC to USB_IN; USB_OUT cascades the next controller.
- Audio: audio input to the multifunction card.

X2 Setup with LEDVISION — Step by Step
Configuration runs in Colorlight’s LEDVISION software; daily operation stays on the front panel.
- Step 1 — Install LEDVISION from www.colorlightinside.com.
- Step 2 — Connect: USB A/B to USB_IN, power on.
- Step 3 — Detect: LEDVISION finds sender and receiving cards.
- Step 4 — Sending device setting: X2 parameters and port allocation.
- Step 5 — Screen parameters: cabinet files and screen resolution.
- Step 6 — Connection parameters: map the receiving card chain.
- Step 7 — Verify: send test patterns; check zoom and switching.
- Step 8 — Backup: save the configuration for field replacement.
