Display matrix can be used for lighting effects as well as information pushing. Interested in P5 panels for windows and potential other signage.
Infrastructure Setup
- P5 Outdoor Rated Panels - but might need to go smaller based upon Visual Acuity Distance and where panels are to be located.
- Colorlight Receiver Card
- RaspberryPi 4 or equivalent to drive video
- FPP Software for management

Viewing Distance Calculations
Visual Acuity Distance
A formulated calculation of the distance a person with 20/20 vision must move away from an LED video wall to no longer distinguish individual pixels.
Pixel Pitch in mm x 1 arc minute in mm (3438) = distance in mm
