NovaStar - VX1000

The VX1000 is NovaStar's new all-in-one controller that integrates video processing and control in a single device. The presence of 10 Ethernet output ports provides a loading capacity of 6.5 Mpixels.

A single unit can handle 10,240 pixels wide x 8192 pixels high image. High resolution 4K x 1K input at 60Hz, 4K x 1K dot-to-dot display, high image quality 4K with 3 layers and free scaling for each layer!

In terms of connections, the VX1000 has 2 x HDMI 1.4 inputs, 2 x DVI and a 3D-SDI input. There are also 2 optical ports for long-distance video signal transmission. A single processor allows three operating modes with free switching between them: video controller, bypass and fiber converter..

Finally, for maximum stability, a complete redundancy system is present: support for redundant input sources, system configuration, Ethernet ports and devices. With 10 customizable presets and a latency of only 1 frame, this powerful controller can be widely used in applications such as mid to high-end rental, stage control systems and fine-pitch LED displays.
