CMS260 All-in-One LED Display Control
The NovaStar CMS260 combines a video processor and LED sending controller for rental screens, stage displays and fine-pitch LED installations. It accepts HDMI and 3G-SDI sources, scales and crops the input image, and sends the result through four Gigabit Ethernet outputs.
Two layers provide a main image and picture-in-picture layout with adjustable size, position and priority. Ten user-defined presets allow layouts to be saved and recalled from the front panel or LCT control workflow.

Input Compatibility and Screen Layout
The HDMI inputs do not support interlaced sources, 10-bit or 12-bit input, or YCbCr 4:2:0. The 3G-SDI input supports deinterlacing and ST-424, ST-292 and ST-259 signals, but not Level B. Use the connector and video-format tables in the PDF when checking a source.
The 3840-pixel width and height limits are separate limits within the 2.6-million-pixel capacity. They do not describe a 3840 × 3840 screen. SuperView III processing provides stepless output scaling, input cropping and a full-screen shortcut.
Backup, Audio and Calibration
CMS260 supports device, Ethernet-port and input-source hot backup. Its Ethernet backup test checks pre-stored images and backup paths without unplugging network cables. Up to four units can be cascaded for an image mosaic, using an input source for output synchronization.
HDMI carries the audio input. For audio output, connect the multifunction card to Ethernet port 1; the other three ports do not provide the documented audio output. Output volume is adjustable. Pixel-level brightness and chroma calibration works with LCT and calibration software.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CMS260 a video processor or a sending controller?
It combines both functions. The device processes the selected video sources and sends LED display data through four Gigabit Ethernet outputs.
Can CMS260 drive a 3840 × 3840 LED screen?
No. Its total loading capacity is up to 2.6 million pixels. The 3840-pixel maximum width and maximum height must each be used within that total capacity.
Does CMS260 support picture-in-picture?
Yes. It has two layers with adjustable size, position and priority, and supports up to ten saved presets.
Which CMS260 port is used for audio output?
Connect a multifunction card to Ethernet port 1 to extract the HDMI-source audio. Only Ethernet port 1 supports the documented audio-output function.
Does CMS260 accept interlaced HDMI or 3G-SDI Level B?
No. HDMI interlaced input and 3G-SDI Level B are not supported. The SDI input does support deinterlacing for its supported signal standards.
