Novastar MX40 Pro LED Display Controller

Description

The MX40 Pro is a flagship all-in-one LED display controller with 20 Ethernet ports in the brand-new control system COEX series of Xi’an NovaStar Tech Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as NovaStar). This controller integrates video processing and video control into one box and offers rich video input connectors (HDMI 2.0, DP 1.2 and 12G-SDI), 20x Ethernet output ports and 4x 10G optical ports. It can also work with the brand-new software VMP (Vision Management Platform) to provide a better operation and control experience.

What is VMP?

VMP is an all-new display control software that integrates design, management, and monitoring into one single platform. When paired with the flagship MX Series controller and A10s Pro receiving card, an incredibly professional LED solution is realized, providing stunning image quality, precise color adjustment, and an intuitive software experience. This represents a totally new solution for managing high-end applications such as fine-pitch LED installation, studio broadcasting, touring, corporate events, virtual production and E-sports.

Features:

Inputs and Outputs

• 3 types of inputs
  − 3x HDMI 2.0 (with loop through)
  − 1x DP 1.2
  − 1x 12G-SDI (with loop through)
• 3 types of outputs
  − 20x Gigabit Ethernet ports, load capacity up to 9 million pixels
  − 4x 10G optical ports, 2 as primary ports and 2 as backup ports
  − 1x SPDIF digital audio port
• 12-bit, 10-bit and 8-bit video inputs
• 3 types of controls
  − 1x Genlock signal input (with loop through)
  − 2x Ethernet control ports
  − 1x Auxiliary port

Advanced Features

• 4 independent layers
  Support up to 4x 4K layers and layer priority adjustment in Z order.
• Image scaling
  Support 3 image scaling modes: custom, pixel to pixel, and snap to canvas.
• Color Replacement
  Support free replacement of any color on the image without affecting the performance of other colors. Replacement of highly saturated colors is recommended for better effect.
• 14Ch Color Correction
  Support precise adjustment to hue, saturation and brightness of black, white and the 12 derived standard colors of the red, green and blue primary colors.
• Curves
  Support adjustment to the image RGBW mapping curves.
• 3D LUT
  The 17×17×17 3D LUT .cube files are supported to adjust the video source colors.
• Dynamic Booster
  Real-time analysis and dynamic adjustment are made to each frame to significantly improve the display contrast and image details for better visual experience, and effectively control and lower the display power consumption, extending the service life of the LED screen.
• Full Grayscale Calibration
  Work with NovaStar’s high-precision calibration system and the C3200 scientific grade camera to generate unique calibration coefficients for each grayscale, ensuring uniformity of each grayscale and dramatically improving the image quality.
• HDR
  − Support HDR10 and comply with the SMPTE
  ST 2084 and SMPTE ST 2086 standards.
  − Support HLG.
• Latency
  − Support low latency and the controller load capacity is not reduced. The latency at the controller is 0 frame (less than 1 ms) in SendOnly Controller working mode and 1 frame in All-In-One Controller working mode.
  − Support additional latency. Zero to two frames of latency can be added at the controller.
• 3D
  Work with the specified receiving cards, 3D emitter and 3D glasses to bring a fascinating and immersive 3D viewing experience.
• Frame Rate Adaptive
  The controller can be adaptive to various video input frame rates, including decimal frame rates. Custom frame rates are also supported and the step size of fine tuning frame rate is as small as 0.01 Hz.
• Two working modes
  Support the All-In-One Controller and Send-Only Controller working modes.
  − In the Send-Only Controller mode, the latency can be reduced by one frame.
  − In the All-In-One Controller mode, the layer and scaling functions are available.
• Display system monitoring
  Support monitoring of the device status and screen status. Any fault and alarm information can be reported actively.

Device Controls

• VMP software control
  The device can be connected to the VMP software to provide easy and convenient operations and smart device management.
• Cascading control via Ethernet
  The Gigabit Ethernet control ports support TCP/IP protocol and star topology. No switch or router is needed to deploy multiple devices on the same LAN via device cascading as the network switching function is already built in.
