NovaStar VX400 Pro LED Video Processor for Rental, Stage and Broadcast LED Screens
The NovaStar VX400 Pro LED Video Processor is an all-in-one controller that scales, switches and sends video to LED screens of up to 2.6 million pixels. It takes HDMI 2.0, HDMI 1.3, 3G-SDI, 10G fibre and USB inputs and outputs through four Gigabit Ethernet ports and two 10G fibre ports, in a 1U rack unit.
The NovaStar VX400 Pro LED Video Processor works in three modes: Video Controller for scaling and layers, Fiber Converter and ByPass for zero-frame latency. In Video Controller mode, SuperView III scaling offers stepless scaling, one-click full screen, free input cropping and colour adjustment of brightness, saturation, contrast and hue. Six layers can be sized, positioned and prioritised freely, and up to 256 presets can be recalled with one button. Pixel-level brightness and chroma calibration works with NovaLCT and the NovaStar calibration software, which suits fine-pitch screens. Backup between devices, inputs and Ethernet ports keeps the show running if a link fails.
