CMS130 LED Screen Controller with Video Processing
The NovaStar CMS130 is an all-in-one controller for LED screens in malls, hotels, exhibitions and TV studios. It combines source selection, image scaling and LED output control in a hardware unit with front-panel buttons, a knob and an LCD menu.
Use full-screen, pixel-to-pixel or custom scaling, adjust the layer size and position, or crop the input image. Up to six user-defined presets can be saved and recalled, while brightness and Gamma controls adjust the screen image.

HDMI, DVI and USB Playback Limits
HDMI accepts 8-bit or 10-bit RGB 4:4:4, YCbCr 4:4:4 and YCbCr 4:2:2 at up to 1920 × 1080 @ 60 Hz. YCbCr 4:2:0 and 12-bit HDMI are not supported. The DVI format table specifies 8-bit RGB 4:4:4.
The USB Type-A media connection plays supported video files up to 1080p at 30 fps. Listed video codecs include MPEG1/2, MPEG4, Sorenson H.263, H.263, H.264 (AVC1), H.265 (HEVC), RV30/40, Divx and Xvid. Codec support does not remove the resolution, frame-rate or file-system limits.
The specification describes HDMI, DVI and VGA buttons as play/pause, previous-file and next-file controls during USB playback. It labels the USB and EXT front-panel buttons as reserved, so do not assume these buttons directly select a playback function.
Connections and Setup
Connect the two LED Ethernet outputs to receiving cards. The separately labelled ETHERNET (RS232) connector serves central control, and USB Type-B is for computer-based program updates or debugging. These control connections are distinct from the USB Type-A media input.
EDID management, quick screen configuration and independent audio connections support installation setup. Check the screen pixel count and source format against the specification before selecting the controller.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many pixels can CMS130 control?
The two Ethernet outputs provide a total loading capacity of up to 1.3 million pixels. This is the device total, not the capacity of each port.
Can CMS130 play video from a USB drive?
Yes. The USB Type-A input supports listed video codecs at up to 1080p and 30 fps, using NTFS, FAT32 or FAT16 storage. exFAT is not supported.
Does CMS130 accept HDMI and DVI sources?
Yes. Both inputs support up to 1920 × 1080 at 60 Hz and HDCP 1.4. The specification also lists support for interlaced signals.
What is the difference between the two USB ports?
USB Type-A connects to a media drive. USB Type-B connects to a control computer for program updating or debugging.
Can I save CMS130 screen settings as presets?
Yes. CMS130 supports up to six user-defined presets, along with full-screen, pixel-to-pixel and custom image scaling.
