Screen mapping in NovaLCT

These steps are for NovaStar systems using NovaLCT, when the receive cards are already loaded with the right module parameters and you only need to tell the processor how the cards are wired.

1. Connect the laptop to the controller. Open NovaLCT.
2. Under User, open Advanced Synchronous System User Login. The default password on many systems is admin. Change it if the site is on a shared network.
3. Open Screen Configuration, pick the right communication port, choose Configure Screen, then Next.
4. Open the Screen Connection tab. Set columns and rows by receive card count, not by cabinet count if a cabinet holds more than one card.
5. Select the controller output port you are mapping. Enter the pixel width and height each receive card owns.
6. Click through the grid in the same order as the physical Ethernet daisy chain. Use connection-direction tools if the wiring snakes.
7. Send to hardware, look at the wall, then Save on the hardware if the picture is right. Save a .scr file to disk for service later.

Stay out of the Receiving Card tab if those cards are already correct. Wrong mapping looks like a scrambled collage even when every cable is good.
