NovaStar MX40 Pro LED Display Controller

Description

The NovaStar MX40 Pro stands as the pinnacle all-in-one LED display controller in the cutting-edge COEX series by NovaStar. This premier controller seamlessly merges video processing and control, boasting an array of video input options, including HDMI 2.0, DP 1.2, and 12G-SDI. With 20 Ethernet output ports and 4x 10G optical ports, it’s a powerhouse in connectivity. Optimally paired with the innovative VMP (Vision Management Platform) software, it promises an unparalleled operational and control experience.

Inputs

• Variety: Three distinct types of inputs for versatile connections:
  • 3x HDMI 2.0 (featuring loop through)
  • 1x DP 1.2
  • 1x 12G-SDI (with loop through capability)
• Video Input Depth: Supports 12-bit, 10-bit, and 8-bit video inputs for a range of visual fidelity.

Outputs

• Broad Connectivity: Three distinct output types:
  • 20x Gigabit Ethernet ports, supporting a load capacity up to 9 million pixels
  • 4x 10G optical ports
  • 1x SPDIF digital audio port, ensuring high-quality sound transmission.

Control Interfaces

• Diverse Control Options: Three types of controls for extensive device management:
  • 1x Genlock signal input (featuring loop through)
  • 2x Ethernet control ports for network-based device management
  • 1x Auxiliary port for additional device interfacing.

Multilayered Visual Experience

• 4 Independent Layers: Seamlessly support up to 4x 4K layers with the flexibility of layer priority adjustment in Z-order.

Advanced Image Manipulation

• Image Scaling: Four dynamic modes available – custom, pixel-to-pixel, snap to canvas, and full-screen fit.
• Color Replacement: Effortlessly swap any image color while retaining the quality of others. Best results come from replacing highly saturated colors.
• 14-Channel Color Correction: Fine-tune the hue, saturation, and brightness of primary RGB colors and their 12 standard derivatives.
• Curves: Modify image RGBW mapping curves for enhanced clarity.
• 3D LUT: Incorporate 17×17×17 3D LUT .cube files to fine-tune video source colors.

Visual Enhancements

• Dynamic Booster: Real-time frame analysis and adjustments elevate display contrast and image detail quality. Simultaneously, power consumption reduces, thus extending the LED screen’s lifespan.
• Full Grayscale Calibration: Partnering with NovaStar’s top-notch calibration system and the C3200 scientific grade camera ensures the utmost grayscale uniformity.
• 3D Visualization: Collaborate with designated cards and tools to create an engaging 3D visual journey.
• HDR: Adherence to HDR10, SMPTE ST 2084, and SMPTE ST 2086 standards. Additionally, HLG is supported.

Performance Metrics

• Latency: Experience low latency without compromising the controller’s load capacity. Achieve 0-frame latency in Send-Only mode and 1-frame latency in All-In-One mode.
• No Rectangle Restriction: Ideal for irregular screens, without calculating blank pixels. The port load is the total pixel sum across all cabinets.
• Frame Rate Adaptation: The controller seamlessly adapts to numerous video input frame rates, even custom rates, with fine-tuning steps as small as 0.01 Hz.

Working Modes

• Two Core Modes:
  • Send-Only Controller: Lowers latency by one frame.
  • All-In-One Controller: Unlocks layer and scaling capabilities.

System Monitoring

• Actively monitor device and screen status. Proactively report faults and alarms.

Device Control Enhancements

• VMP Software Control: Integrate with VMP software for intuitive device management and operations.
• Protocol Support: Compatibility with SNMP and Art-Net protocols.
• Cascading via Ethernet: Use the built-in network switching function to cascade multiple devices in the same LAN without needing additional switches or routers.
