LED electronic screen is widely used in information display, whether it is a commercial advertisement, event notification or public information release, can not be separated from the subtitle settings.LCF will be in this article for you to talk about the LED electronic screen subtitle setup tutorial in detail.

1、 Preparation

 (i) hardware connection

Ensure that the LED electronic screen and control computer or control device is properly connected. Generally connected through the network cable, HDMI cable or other special signal cable. Check whether the connection is solid, to avoid signal interruption problems in the setup process. At the same time, to ensure that the power supply is stable, so that the screen is in normal working condition.

 (ii) Control software installation

Get the control software that matches the model of your LED electronic screen. Usually, the official website of the display manufacturer will provide the corresponding software download. After downloading, follow the installation wizard to install. In the installation process, pay attention to select the appropriate installation path, and follow the software prompts to complete the installation.

 2、Open the control software and configure the parameters

 (i) start the control software

Find the icon of the control software on the computer desktop, double-click to open. After the software starts, there may be loading interface, wait a moment until the main interface is completely displayed.

 (ii) display parameter settings

In the control software to find ‘settings’ or ‘parameter configuration’ and other related menu options. Here you need to enter the basic parameters of the LED electronic screen, including screen size (length and width of the number of pixels or the actual physical size), point spacing, scanning methods. These parameters can generally be found on the display's product manual or equipment label. Accurately configuring the parameters is the key to ensure that the subtitles are displayed properly, otherwise problems such as incomplete and distorted subtitle display may occur.

 3、Creating and Editing Subtitles

 (i) New subtitle project

In the main interface of the control software, find the ‘New’ or ‘Add Subtitle’ button and click to create a new subtitle project. Some software may have a text editing area directly in the main interface for inputting subtitle content.

 (ii)Inputting Subtitle Text

In the newly created subtitle editing area, use the keyboard to input the text you want to display. Pay attention to the accuracy and layout of the text, e.g., the content that needs to be segmented should be reasonably separated. If you want to display subtitles in multiple languages, make sure the input method is switched correctly to accurately input characters in different languages.

 (iii) Setting font format

Select the input subtitle text and then adjust it in the font setting options provided by the software. You can set the font type (e.g. Song, Bold, etc.), font size and font colour. Select the appropriate font size according to the screen usage scenario and the distance from the audience to ensure that the subtitles are clear and readable. For the colour, consider the contrast with the background to make the subtitles stand out. For example, a dark subtitle colour can be chosen for a light background.

 (iv) Adjusting the subtitle style

1. Bolding, italicising and underlining

If you need to emphasise certain text, you can set bold, italic or underline effects on it. Find the corresponding buttons or options to operate in the text style setting area of the software. These styles can make key information more visible.

2. Word spacing and line spacing

Adjusting the word spacing and line spacing can improve the aesthetics and readability of the subtitles. Find the setting options of word spacing and line spacing in the software, and set them reasonably according to the length of the subtitle and the screen size. Generally speaking, the word spacing should not be too small, so as not to make the text look crowded; the line spacing should be moderate, so as to make a clear distinction between multiple lines of subtitles.

4、Setting the display effect of subtitles

(i) animation effects

Many control software provides a variety of subtitle animation effects, such as scrolling, blinking, fading in and out. Select the appropriate effect in the animation effect setting area of the software. For example, for longer notification-type subtitles, you can choose a left-to-right or right-to-left scrolling effect so that viewers have enough time to read the complete content. For important information that needs to attract the audience's attention, a flashing effect can be set, but care should be taken not to overuse it so as not to cause visual interference.

 (ii) Dwell time and playback speed

Set the dwell time and playback speed of the subtitles on the screen. Dwell time determines how much time the audience has to read the content of the subtitles and should be adjusted according to the length and complexity of the subtitles. The playback speed applies to subtitles with animation effects, such as the scrolling speed of scrolling subtitles. If the speed is too fast, the audience may not have time to read; if it is too slow, it may affect the efficiency of information display.

5、Arranging the order and time of subtitle playback

 (i) Playlist creation

If you need to display multiple subtitles, you can create a playlist. Find ‘Playlist’ or ‘Programme List’ and other relevant options in the control software, and add the created subtitle items to the playlist in order.

 (ii) Setting the playback order and time

In the playlist, you can adjust the playing order of the subtitle items by dragging and dropping them. At the same time, set the playback time of each subtitle item, including the start time and duration. You can arrange different subtitles to be displayed at different times according to the actual needs to achieve the effect of timed playback. For example, on the LED screen in shopping malls, promotional information can be played during the daytime and reminders of business hours can be played at night.

6、 save and send settings

 (I) Save Settings

After completing the subtitle settings, click the ‘Save’ button in the software to save the settings to the computer. The saved file can be easily modified again or called up directly in the future. It is recommended to backup the setting file regularly to prevent data loss.

 (ii) Send settings to the screen

In the control software to find ‘send’ or ‘publish’ button, click to set up the content of the subtitles and related parameters sent to the LED electronic screen. In the process of sending, make sure that the connection between the computer and the screen is stable to avoid sending failure. If there is any problem during the sending process, you can check the connection and retry.

Through the above steps, you can successfully set subtitles on the LED electronic screen to achieve an effective display of information.LCF reminds you that in the actual operation process, there may be slight differences in the operational details due to different control software, but the basic principles and steps are similar.
