Novastar - MX2000 Pro

The NovaStar MX2000 Pro is an 8K LED display controller designed to combine, within a single chassis, the essential functions required to control large screens. Its 2U architecture features two slots for input cards and two slots for output cards, allowing the unit to be configured according to the video chain required, rather than being restricted to a fixed set of connections.

This approach paves the way for various configurations using HDMI, DisplayPort, 12G-SDI or ST 2110 cards, as well as multiple output solutions for 1G and 5G LED architectures. The controller can therefore support 8K or 4K sources whilst distributing the signal to high-capacity LED systems, up to 35.38 million pixels.

Video processing benefits from a colour depth of up to 12 bits, support for HDR10 and HLG, as well as colour management tools including colour replacement, 14-channel correction, colour curves and 3D LUTs. The scaling function also allows sources to be adapted to the dimensions of LED displays, with real-time management of multi-screen configurations. The advertised latency of 0 frames and support for high refresh rates are particularly well suited to applications where display responsiveness must be precisely controlled.

The MX2000 Pro can be operated directly from its front panel via its 5-inch IPS touchscreen and rotary encoder, or managed remotely via Ethernet and the VMP software. SNMP and Art-Net protocols further enhance its integration capabilities within a wider control infrastructure. Genlock also enables video processing to be synchronised with other production equipment.

This combination of modularity, advanced processing and high display capacity is ideally suited to event productions, xR/VP studios, television productions, large-scale fixed installations, e-sports environments and immersive applications.
