NovaStar - H20 Video wall splicer

H20 represents the new generation of NovaStar Video wall splicers, characterized by excellent image quality and designed specifically for fine-pitch LED displays. The H20 can work as splicing processors that integrate both video processing and video control capabilities, or work as pure splicing processors. Remember that a Video wall splicer processor is a device that allows you to create a single large image using multiple screens. That is, it is capable of dividing an image into multiple parts and displaying them on separate displays, creating a seamless overall image.

The entire unit adopts a modular and plug-in design that allows for flexible configuration and hot-swappable replacement of input and output cards.

Based on the powerful and stable FPGA hardware system architecture, H20 provides a variety of connection modules for flexible and customized configuration, enabling easy maintenance and low failure level. The processor features industry-standard input connectors, including HDMI, DVI, DP, VGA, CVBS, SDI and IP, and supports 10-bit video source input and processing, as well as high-definition 4K input and output. It also provides 3 types of 4K LED sending cards, enabling backup between optical ports and Ethernet ports, as well as ultra-long distance transmission. Furthermore, the H20 supports multi-screen and multi-layer management, input and output EDID management and monitoring, input source renaming, BKG and OSD settings and more, bringing you a rich image construction experience.

In addition, this Video wall splicer adopts B/S architecture and supports cross-platform and multi-system access and control without the need to install an application program. On a Windows, Mac, iOS, Android or Linux platform, online collaboration of multiple users is supported, and the responsiveness of the web page is very fast, which greatly improves the efficiency of on-site setup. Finally, the H20 allows online firmware upgrade for easy hardware upgrade via a PC.

With excellent features and stable performance, this ultra-powerful video splicing processor can be widely used in a variety of applications, such as the energy industry, judicial departments and prisons, military command, water conservancy and hydrology, meteorologic earthquake prediction, enterprise management, metallurgy, banking and finance, national defense, public security traffic management, exhibitions and presentations, production scheduling, radio and television, educational and scientific research, as well as stage rental applications.
