Novastar MCTRL300 Synchronous Controller

Description

The MCTRL300 is NovaStar’s most basic LED display controller, designed to provide essential functionality without built-in scaling capabilities. It features a simple setup with 1x DVI input, 1x audio input, and 2x Ethernet outputs, making it an ideal solution for applications where scaling is managed externally. Supporting input resolutions up to 1920×1200@60Hz, the MCTRL300 delivers reliable control for LED displays used in rental applications, fixed installations, live events, security monitoring centers, and sports venues.

Key Features:

• Input Connectors:
  • 1x SL-DVI (no internal scaling)
  • 1x Audio input
• Output Connectors:
  • 2x Gigabit Ethernet outputs
• Control Ports:
  • 1x Type-B USB for PC control
  • 2x UART ports for cascading up to 20 devices
• Additional Features:
  • 1x light sensor connector for adaptive brightness
  • Pixel-level brightness and chroma calibration when used with NovaLCT and NovaCLB software, enhancing color consistency and display brightness for better image quality

With a pixel loading capacity of up to 1.3 million pixels, the MCTRL300 supports various resolutions, including 1280×1024@60Hz, 1024×1200@60Hz, 1600×848@60Hz, 1920×712@60Hz, and 2048×668@60Hz. It also accommodates a maximum width and height of up to 3840 pixels.

As a cost-effective, entry-level controller, the MCTRL300 is well-suited for basic LED display setups, especially in scenarios where external scaling solutions are in place.
