MRV210-2 receiving card identification
This product is discontinued and no longer available. NovaStar’s MRV210 Rev2.1.2 model list identifies MRV210-2 as the variant with male connectors on the bottom. The family uses four 26-pin output interfaces with parallel or serial data modes.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Model / connector position | MRV210-2 / male connectors underneath, per Rev2.1.2 |
| Output interfaces | 4 × 26-pin |
| RGBR′ parallel mode | 16 groups |
| RGB parallel modes | 20 or 24 groups |
| Serial mode | 64 groups |
| 16-group scan support in V2.2.1 | 1/32 scan |
| 20-group scan support in V2.2.1 | 1/16 scan |
| 24-group scan support in V2.2.1 | 1/4 scan only |
| Input voltage in V2.2.1 | DC 3.3–5.5 V |
| Rated current / power in V2.2.1 | 0.5 A / 2.5 W |
Loading and wiring differences between sources
The original listing states 256 × 220 pixels. MRV210 Rev2.1.2 states 256 × 226, while the attached MRV210 V2.2.1 specification states 256 × 256. These are revision-dependent source values; the general MRV210 PDF does not establish that every older MRV210-2 board has the later loading capability.
The earlier page also claimed expansion from 64 to 128 serial groups. Neither reviewed manufacturer revision confirms that expansion. Check the exact hardware, firmware and output-mode pinout rather than assuming 128-group support.
VCC pin: V2.2.1 identifies pin 6 as a reserved 3.3 V output with a maximum output current of 50 mA. This differs from the earlier page’s suggestion that modules can supply the control system through VCC. Do not treat this reserved pin as the board’s power-input connector; verify the applicable revision’s wiring.
Maintenance functions
The MRV210 documentation supports configuration readback, temperature and voltage monitoring, pixel-level brightness and chroma calibration and a pre-stored image. V2.2.1 also describes cabinet LCD monitoring, loop backup, dual application-program backup and 3D with a compatible sending card. Match feature availability to the installed revision.

The original link label referred to MRV210-1, but the file itself is titled MRV210. It is retained as family documentation; confirm the MRV210-2 connector arrangement separately.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between MRV210-1 and MRV210-2?
Rev2.1.2 identifies MRV210-1 as the male-connector-on-top variant and MRV210-2 as the male-connector-on-bottom variant. Check the board label and physical orientation together.
Is the MRV210-2 still available?
No. This product listing states that it is discontinued and no longer available.
Which loading value applies: 256 × 220, 256 × 226 or 256 × 256?
The old listing states 256 × 220, manufacturer Rev2.1.2 states 256 × 226, and V2.2.1 states 256 × 256. Confirm the installed MRV210-2 revision and firmware; do not apply a later family specification automatically to an older board.
Can the VCC pin be used to power the receiving card?
The linked V2.2.1 pinout defines pin 6 as a reserved 3.3 V output limited to 50 mA, not the board power input. Verify the correct power connector and the pinout for the actual board revision.
Does 24-group RGB mode support every scan setting?
No. V2.2.1 specifies 1/4 scan only for the 24-group mode. It documents 1/32 scan for 16-group RGBR′ mode and 1/16 scan for 20-group RGB mode. Use the pinout corresponding to the selected mode.
