Display Settings

Configure LED matrix hardware settings and display options.

Hardware Configuration

Rows

Number of LED rows

Columns

Number of LED columns

Chain Length

Number of LED panels chained together

Parallel

Number of parallel chains

Brightness

LED brightness: {{ main_config.display.hardware.brightness or 95 }}%

Hardware Mapping

LED RGB Sequence

Color channel order for your LED panels

Multiplexing

Multiplexing scheme for your LED panels

Panel Type

Special panel chipset initialization (use Standard unless your panel requires it)

GPIO Slowdown

Pi 3: 3 · Pi 4: 4 · Pi 5: 4–5 (in RIO mode, lower values may work better)

RP1 Backend (Pi 5 only)

Pi 5 RP1 coprocessor mode. Ignored on Pi 3/4.

Scan Mode

Scan mode for LED matrix (0-1)

PWM Bits

PWM bits for brightness control (1-11)

PWM Dither Bits

PWM dither bits (0-4)

PWM LSB Nanoseconds

PWM LSB nanoseconds (50-500)

Limit Refresh Rate (Hz)

Limit refresh rate in Hz (1-1000)

Display Options

Disable Hardware Pulsing

Inverse Colors

Show Refresh Rate

Use Short Date Format

Dynamic Duration

Max Dynamic Duration (seconds)

Maximum time plugins can extend display duration (30-1800 seconds)

Vegas Scroll Mode

Combine all plugin content into one continuous scrolling ticker display.

Enable

Multi-Display Sync

Extend scrolling content across two LED matrix display units over WiFi. Both displays must have identical rows and cols. Chain length may differ.

Role

Set Leader on one Pi, Follower on the other. Restart required after changing.

UDP Port

Must match on both Pis. If ufw is active: sudo ufw allow {{ main_config.get('sync', {}).get('port', 5765) }}/udp
