How To Create Smoother Text Movements Depending on your LEDs, the pixel pitch, and other factors, you might have the impression that text is not moving as fluently and smoothly as it should. Follow these steps to create a better perceived image quality. In general, stuttering effects are perceived to be less, ▪the smaller the pixel pitch of your LED products is, ▪the faster the text is scrolling [BPM], ▪and the wider and larger the text is.
1] Choose a BPM value that makes the SCE Ticker Effect look good. Some recommended speeds are: 300 BPM, 350 BPM, 600 BPM, 750 BPM, 1500 BPM, and 3000 BPM. 2] Choose a font that is bold. Please avoid fine fonts or italics. 3] Try to choose a font that automatically has Anti-Aliasing applied to it. Not every font family automatically supports Anti-Aliasing. Anti-Aliasing reduces hard edges and makes the font smoother. 4] Reduce the overall tonal contrast of the Effect and image output. For example, white text on black background creates one of the highest contrasts. The higher the contrast, the more the text seems to be flickering.
Typefaces Typefaces can be grouped into two main categories: ▪ Serif [Such fonts contain small features at the end of strokes within letters] ▪Sans-serif [Such fonts have a clearer, simple appearance]
How To Use Other Languages [Such As Russian Or Chinese] ▪In Windows 10, go to Start > Windows System > Control Panel > Language ▪Add the language you want to use [Russian, Chinese, etc.]. ▪In MADRIX 5, select SCE Counter ▪Click Aa to open the Font window. ▪Choose a universal, extensive font, such as Arial ▪Choose Cyrillic [or Chinese, etc.] under Script ▪Close the Font window. ▪Input any elements into the String Table
