NovaStar MX2000 Pro modular LED display controller
The MX2000 Pro provides configurable video inputs and fiber outputs in a 2U chassis. Designed for large displays and production systems, it supports up to eight 4K or four 8K video inputs, depending on the installed input cards. NovaStar specifies a maximum load of 35.38 million pixels; the actual configuration must account for the output cards, receiving cards, bit depth and frame rate.
Build the controller around the source and screen
The two input-card slots support five card types in the linked V1.1.1 specification: 4 × HDMI 2.0, 4 × DP 1.2, 4 × 12G-SDI, 2 × HDMI 2.1 and 2 × DP 1.4. These are configuration options, so confirm the supplied cards when requesting a quote.
For a 1G system, MX_4x10G_Fiber cards work with CVT10 or CVT10 Pro fiber converters and compatible 1G receiving cards. The same document also describes a 5G system using CX_1x40G_Fiber cards, CVT8-5G converters and compatible 5G receiving cards. It expressly excludes using both 1G and 5G solutions at the same time in one MX2000 Pro.

Arrange layers and recall screen presets
Configure screens by output card and move layers across cards within a screen. Each layer offers custom, pixel-to-pixel, snap-to-canvas and fill-screen scaling. Save layer layouts, brightness, color temperature and gamma in presets for later recall.
Irregular screens do not need to count blank areas as cabinet load. Synchronized output splicing aligns output images on the same screen, while VMP provides device management and monitoring. Hot backup is supported between devices and between output cards.
Check the complete display system
High frame rates, full-grayscale calibration and camera-related functions require compatible receiving cards and driver ICs. For the documented 1G full-grayscale calibration workflow, use A10s Pro receiving cards and a C3200 camera. Frame Rate Adaptive additionally requires a supported driver IC and the .ncp file produced by NovaStar Cabinet Tool.
Source format also matters: the 8K input description does not promise 8K at every refresh rate or bit depth. Consult the PDF tables when choosing the graphics-card output. The listed 650,000-pixel figure in the original overview is a rounded example; use the detailed Ethernet load tables for configuration.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many input and output cards can the MX2000 Pro hold?
It has two input-card slots and two output-card slots. The supported card options do not indicate which cards are included in a quote; confirm the exact configuration with sales.
Does the MX2000 Pro support 8K input?
Yes, with an appropriate 8K input card. V1.1.1 lists the HDMI 2.1 card at up to 8192 × 4320 at 30 Hz and the DP 1.4 input at 7680 × 4320 at 30 Hz for 8-bit sources. Higher-bit-depth limits depend on the signal format.
Can I mix 1G and 5G systems in one MX2000 Pro?
The linked specification says 1G and 5G solutions cannot be built at the same time in one unit. Select matching output cards, fiber converters and receiving cards for the intended architecture.
How many layers and presets are supported?
A single output card supports up to four layers, with up to eight 4K layers across the device. Up to 128 presets can store settings including layers, brightness, color temperature and gamma.
Does 360 Hz apply to every LED screen?
No. NovaStar makes the maximum frame rate dependent on the screen hardware configuration. Confirm receiving-card and driver-IC support, source format and port load before specifying that rate.
