Stage 1: Setting up the on-screen ‘virtual installation’

1. Prepare a plan of what panels the physical installation will contain and 

where those panels will be located.

2. See Figure 7. Check that 

Next number

 (arrowed) is set to 

1

. 

3. See Figure 8. Click on the panel 

type in the 

Fixture Library

(arrowed) that corresponds to the 
panel you want to place in position 
number 

1

 in the installation. 

4. The white square on the right of 

the screen corresponds to the 
video frame the P3-100 is set to 
display. Move the cursor over this 
area. The cursor will take the form 
of a panel. Click to approximately 
position panel number 

1

 on the 

video frame.

5. See Figure 8. The panel will be 

placed on the video frame in your 
on-screen installation labelled with 
display address 

1

 in the center of 

the panel icon. The panel will also 
appear with an orange 
‘bullet-point’ in the 

Configured 

Devices

 list. The number in the 

Next number

 box will jump to 

2

, 

ready for the next panel.

If the P3-100 has auto-detected panels that are connected to it and these panels have the same display 
address as the panels you add to the on-screen installation, they will automatically be assigned to the 
panels in your on-screen installation and appear in the 

Configured Devices

 list with a green bullet-point. 

Ignore this for the moment: you will assign physical panels to the on-screen installation later.

See Figure 9. 

Multi-mode

the video frame each time you want to position another panel (if you de-activate 

Multi-mode

, you must click on the desired panel type in the 

Fixture Library

each time you want to add a panel to your on-screen installation).

6. Continue adding panels, selecting a different panel type in the 

Fixture Library

 if necessary. To remove a 

panel from the on-screen installation, right-click on it and select 

Delete

. 

7. When you have added the correct number and type of panels to your on-screen installation, click on the 

currently selected panel type in the 

Fixture Library
