Pixelmap Builder is a professional layout tool for LED video wall and stage designers, VJs, and technicians. Plan your pixel map, test your screens, and export everything you need for a flawless install or show. Design your layout: Build multi-screen LED walls with custom rows, columns, and panel sizes. Position screens freely, mix panel resolutions, and see real-world dimensions in meters and feet as you work. Wiring and ports: Automatically generate port wiring diagrams with configurable panels-per-port, direction, and start corner — perfect for planning your data runs before you're on site.
