CVT10 Pro Fiber Converter for LED Displays
The NovaStar CVT10 Pro converts optical signals to electrical signals or electrical signals to optical signals between sending equipment and an LED screen. Its function is fiber conversion; the original listing’s “LED Video Processor” wording does not describe an image-scaling or mixing function.
Pro-S and Pro-M Fiber Selection
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| CVT10 Pro-S | Single-mode; 1310 nm; specified distance 10 km |
| Pro-S cable | OS1/OS2 twin-core, 9/125 μm, LC |
| Pro-S optical loss limits | Insertion loss ≤0.3 dB; return loss ≥45 dB |
| CVT10 Pro-M | Multimode; 850 nm; specified distance 300 m |
| Pro-M cable | OM3/OM4 twin-core, 50/125 μm, LC |
| Pro-M optical loss limits | Insertion loss ≤0.2 dB; return loss ≥45 dB |
| Both optical modules | 9.95–11.3 Gbit/s; factory-installed, hot-swappable |
Choose the fiber mode and optical module for the whole connection. The two versions use LC connectors but require different fiber types and wavelengths.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Ethernet ports | 10 × Gigabit Ethernet, up to 1 Gbit/s each |
| Optical ports | 2 × 10G; OPT1 primary, OPT2 backup |
| Control port | USB Type-B |
| Power input | 100–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz, 1.5 A; PowerCON |
| Rated power consumption | 22 W |
| IP rating | IP65 |
| Dimensions / net weight | 482.6 × 88.1 × 280.0 mm / 5.9 kg |
| Operating conditions | −20°C to +55°C; 10–80% RH, non-condensing |
| Storage conditions | −20°C to +70°C; 10–95% RH, non-condensing |
Ethernet-Port Availability and Backup
For fiber input and Ethernet output, an eight- or sixteen-port input device uses the first eight CVT10 Pro Ethernet ports. With a ten- or twenty-port input device, the specification describes all ten ports as available. Its note about a future upgrade for unavailable ports 9 and 10 must be checked against the installed firmware; it is not a current-version guarantee.
For Ethernet input and fiber output, all ten ports are documented as available. OPT2 backs up OPT1 in CVT mode, while DIS is reserved. The second optical port does not double the independent Ethernet-channel count.
Mounting and Program Updates
The design supports horizontal rack installation or suspension with truss clamps. Use the mounting drawings and requirements in the original PDF. USB Type-B connects to a control computer running NovaLCT V5.4.0 or later for program upgrades; it is not a cascading interface. The PowerCON connector must not be plugged in while live.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CVT10 Pro a video processor or a fiber converter?
It is a fiber converter. The specification describes optical/electrical signal conversion and does not identify it as an image-scaling or video-mixing processor.
What is the difference between CVT10 Pro-S and Pro-M?
Pro-S uses 1310 nm single-mode OS1/OS2 twin-core LC fiber with a specified 10 km distance. Pro-M uses 850 nm multimode OM3/OM4 twin-core LC fiber with a specified 300 m distance.
What does the IP65 rating apply to?
The V1.0.0 specification lists IP65 for the CVT10 Pro product. Follow the documented installation and connector requirements for the supplied unit.
Why might ports 9 and 10 not work?
Their availability in fiber-in/Ethernet-out operation depends on the input device and firmware. The original document includes a future-upgrade note, so verify support for the installed system before assigning cabinets to those ports.
Can USB be used to cascade CVT10 Pro units?
No. The USB Type-B port is for program upgrades from NovaLCT V5.4.0 or later, not converter cascading.
