A8s Pro Receiving Card for LED Cabinet Integration
The NovaStar A8s Pro combines high-density hub-board connections with a maximum resolution of 512 × 512 at 60 Hz. It supports up to 40 groups of parallel RGB data or 64 groups of serial data, expandable to 128 serial groups.
Multi-Layer Calibration works with NovaStar’s calibration system to generate coefficients for low-grayscale image areas as well as conventional brightness and chroma calibration. Image Booster provides color management, precise grayscale and 22bit+, with effects dependent on the driver IC.

Rotation, 3D and Low-Latency Setup
Image rotation is supported in 90° increments. Rotation at any angle requires SmartLCT and the MCTRL R5 controller. The receiving-card latency can be reduced to one frame only when the modules use driver ICs with built-in RAM; this is not an end-to-end system latency figure.
3D requires a controller supporting 3D. Individual RGB Gamma adjustment requires NovaLCT V5.2.0 or later and a supporting controller. Seam brightness correction adjusts visible brightness differences at cabinet and module joins.
Version note: The earlier product text mentions Thermal Compensation 1.0, but that function is not specified in the retained V1.1.0 PDF. Confirm support for the supplied firmware and module before relying on that claim.
Module Maintenance and Backup
Smart-module and LVDS functions require dedicated firmware. Automatic module calibration and module Flash management require modules with flash memory. The PDF also describes applying Flash calibration coefficients using the cabinet self-test button when the Ethernet cable is disconnected.
Dual-card backup on a suitable hub board, loop backup, dual configuration storage and dual program backup support recovery. Temperature and voltage monitoring, bit-error detection, mapping and parameter readback help identify and service a cabinet.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many pixels can one A8s Pro load?
Specification V1.1.0 lists a maximum resolution of 512 × 512 at 60 Hz. Use the module configuration and driver requirements when planning the cabinet.
How many parallel RGB data groups are available?
A8s Pro supports up to 40 parallel RGB groups. It also supports 64 serial data groups, expandable to 128 through the documented multiplexing arrangement.
What does Multi-Layer Calibration add?
It works with NovaStar’s calibration system to generate coefficients specifically for low-grayscale image areas, in addition to traditional brightness and chroma calibration.
What is required for arbitrary-angle rotation?
Use SmartLCT with the MCTRL R5 LED display controller. Rotation in 90° increments is listed separately.
Is Thermal Compensation 1.0 confirmed in the linked PDF?
No. It appears in the earlier listing, but the retained V1.1.0 PDF does not specify it. Support must be confirmed for the supplied firmware and module.
