01The void
Before image, there is matter.
60 cabinets adrift in the dark, holding 10,368,000 emitters between them. Not one of them is switched on, and nothing here yet suggests a 6.0-metre surface.

Direct-view LED · Johannesburg
Light, held to a tolerance.
Watch 60 cabinets become more than ten million points of light—then specify the wall to the same published, measured numbers we ship. No mystery between the spectacle and the engineering.
02Signal
The signal finds every pixel.
A blue die is a tenth of a millimetre across and costs a fraction of a cent. Persuading ten million of them to agree on what white looks like — at the same brightness, for the same decade — is the entire product.

03Formation
Sixty cabinets. One gesture.
60 cabinets, each located by a machined datum rather than by eye. A wall should not need aligning once it is hung. It should arrive aligned and stay that way through the building's first summer.

04Magnetic lock
The seams surrender.
Cabinet-to-cabinet flatness is the number that decides whether you are looking at a display or at a patchwork of slightly disagreeing rectangles. It is also the number almost nobody prints. Ours is ±0.1 mm, and we will send you the measurement report for your cabinets, not a representative sample.
±0.1 mm — measured per cabinet, shipped with the wall
05First light
Ten million stars, addressed.
10,368,000 emitters reach drive current independently, in the order the receiving cards resolve them. What you are watching is the commissioning sequence, at the speed it actually happens.

06The canvas
Now it becomes an image.
Cabinets tile in both axes with no seam budget to spend. Three metres or thirty. Flat, curved to ±15°, wrapped around a column, or turned on its side as a ribbon above a concourse. The wall ends where the architecture does.

07Approach
Cross the surface.
Flip-chip COB puts every die beneath a single plane of resin. There is no lens standing proud to catch a shoulder, a flight case or a raking sunbeam. You can put a fingertip on it, and then wipe the fingerprint off.

08Inside the pixel
A city inside every point of light.
On a Nano cabinet each emitter is driven at 16-bit depth and refreshed at 7,680 Hz. On camera that means no banding, no scan line and no rolling bar at any shutter a broadcast crew will use. It is not a setting you enable. It is the driver architecture.
7,680 Hz visual refresh · 3,840 Hz is the industry floor
09Architecture
The wall becomes the room.
The best wall we have delivered is one that nobody in the building can describe. They do not mention the display. They say the room feels larger than it did, and they are not sure why.

Give us a width, a viewing distance and an ambient light level. We will give you the pitch, the power, the mass, the port count and the bill of materials — with the reasoning for each, so you can argue with it.
No form gate. The configurator is on this site.

First light, at 40 mm
A Nano cabinet reaching drive current, shot on a macro lens. Each emitter is addressed independently — what looks like a fade is ten million separate decisions arriving a few microseconds apart.
—The range
Four series. One of them is right; the others are honestly wrong.
Most manufacturers describe every product as suitable for everything. Each page below opens with what the series is for and closes with what it is not for, because a wall specified into the wrong room is a decade-long mistake.

—What we publish
The four numbers that decide whether a wall is good, and how often you will find them.
These are not obscure. Every manufacturer measures all four. They are simply inconvenient, so they end up in the sales conversation instead of the datasheet.
Rarely published
Cabinet flatness
±0.1 mm
Decides whether the wall reads as one surface or as a grid of rectangles catching light at slightly different angles.
Almost never published
Brightness at service level
480 nits @ 40%
Walls run at 30–50% drive to protect LED half-life. The headline peak figure is not what the room will ever see.
Usually unqualified
Contrast under ambient
12,000:1 @ 100 lux
A contrast ratio measured in a blacked-out lab describes a room nobody works in.
Hidden behind the brand name
LED bin grade
Gold bin, stated
Same brand name on the sheet, materially different brightness retention at year five.
