NovaStar - MX30

The MX30 is an all-in-one LED display controller in NovaStar's newest COEX series control system.

This controller integrates video processing and control in one device and offers multiple video input connectors (HDMI 2.0, HDMI 1.4, DP 1.1 and 3G-SDI), 10 Ethernet output ports and 2 optical ports 10 G. It can also work with VMP (Vision Management Platform) software to provide better control and operation experience. 

Main features

• Versatile inputs: MX30 provides a range of video input connectors, including 1 x HDMI 2.0 (with loop through), 1 x HDMI 1.4 (with loop through), 1 x DP 1.1, and 2 x 3G-SDI (with loop through), ensuring compatibility with diverse sources.
• Powerful outputs: benefit from 10x Gigabit Ethernet ports (load capacity up to 6.5 million pixels), 2 x 10G optical ports, and 1 x SPDIF digital audio port for a comprehensive display solution
• Flexible controls: MX30 includes 3 types of controls - Genlock signal input, Ethernet control ports, and an auxiliary port, offering unparalleled flexibility in managing your LED display
• Advanced layering: explore creativity with 3 independent layers, supporting layer priority adjustments in Z order
• Image scaling mastery: MX30 supports 4 image scaling modes - custom, pixel to pixel, snap to canvas, and fill screen, providing optimal display adaptability
• Precise color correction: achieve perfection with 14 CH color correction, allowing precise adjustments to hue, saturation, and brightness for a stunning visual experience
• Full grayscale calibration: utilize NovaStar’s high-precision calibration system and the C3200 scientific-grade camera for unique calibration coefficients, ensuring uniformity and dramatically improving image quality
• HDR support: MX30 is HDR-ready, supporting HDR10 and complying with the SMPTE ST 2084 and SMPTE ST 2086 standards, including HLG
• Low latency performance: experience minimal latency with 0-frame latency in Send-Only Controller mode and 1-frame latency in All-In-One Controller mode. Additional latency can be adjusted as needed
• Frame rate adaptability: the controller adapts seamlessly to various video input frame rates, supporting decimal frame rates with a fine-tuning step size as small as 0.01 Hz
• Dual working modes: choose between the All-In-One Controller and Send-Only Controller modes, each offering unique advantages. Reduce latency by one frame in Send-Only mode, and unlock layer and scaling functions in All-In-One mode.
• System monitoring: stay in control with active monitoring of device and screen status. Receive instant notifications for any faults or alarms, ensuring a reliable performance
• VMP software integration: connect effortlessly to NovaStar's Vision Management Platform (VMP) software for easy operations and smart device management
• Cascading control via Ethernet: simplify deployment with Gigabit Ethernet control ports supporting TCP/IP protocol and star topology, eliminating the need for additional switches or routers
