1. A display system comprising:
- a plurality of display panels wherein each panel is formed of a two dimensional array of LED pixel modules, each pixel module having a housing supporting a plurality of multi-color LEDs and a controller responsive to received pixel data to control the intensity of the LEDs of the module;
a plurality of data hubs, each display panel connected to at least two data hubs to allow a display panel to receive pixel data for each pixel of the panel from one or more of the data hubs to which it is connected, each data hub being connected to a different pixel module of the panel and each data hub being connected to at least two panels of the display to allow a data hub to provide pixel data for each pixel of the panels to which the data hub is connected.

Abstract
A system distributes data in a robust manner to a large scale LED display formed of a number of display panels. The system includes a plurality of data hubs wherein each display panel is connected to at least two data hubs to receive redundant pixel data for each pixel of the panel. Each data hub is further connected to at least two panels of the display to provide pixel data for each pixel of the panels to which the data hub is connected.
