NovaStar MCTRL1600 4K LED display controller
The NovaStar MCTRL1600 supports LED display systems that need DisplayPort or multiple DVI sources, Ethernet distribution and optical signal routing. It can operate as a sending controller or a fiber converter. In sending-card mode, the DVI configuration determines whether it works as two independent controllers using Dual Link or four using Single Link.
Video inputs and capacity
The linked Chinese V1.1.1 specification lists up to 4096 × 2160 at 60 Hz, using the documented forced-resolution settings, and a maximum custom output width or height of 7680 pixels. The video-format table supports 8-bit RGB/YCbCr 4:4:4 at that 4K timing. For 10-bit/12-bit 4:4:4, the table marks 4K60 unsupported and lists 1920 × 1080 at 60 Hz as supported; higher-bit-depth 4K60 is listed for YCbCr 4:2:2/4:2:0. Set the input bit depth correspondingly in NovaLCT.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| DP input | 1 × DisplayPort 1.2; custom width or height up to 7680 pixels |
| DVI connectors | 4 |
| DVI Dual Link mode | DVI1/DVI2 active; DVI3/DVI4 unavailable; up to 3840 × 1080 at 60 Hz per input |
| DVI Single Link mode | All four DVI inputs active; up to 1920 × 1200 at 60 Hz per input |
| DVI custom dimension limit | Maximum width 3840 pixels; maximum height 3840 pixels |
| Ethernet ports | 16 × Gigabit RJ45; port redundancy supported |
| Per-port loading | 8-bit input: 650,000 pixels; 10-bit/12-bit: 320,000 pixels |
| Optical ports | 4 × 10G; each optical port carries up to eight Ethernet ports |
| Optical port mapping | OPT1 ↔ Ethernet 1–8; OPT2 ↔ Ethernet 9–16; OPT3 backs up OPT1; OPT4 backs up OPT2 |
| Operating modes | Sending-card mode; fiber-converter mode |
| Optical modes | Hot backup; replication |
| Computer control | Fast Ethernet with TCP/IP; USB IN |
| Cascade connection | USB IN and USB OUT |
Fiber routing and display functions
In sending-card mode, the optical and Ethernet ports output the same image. In fiber-converter mode, optical input can be converted to Ethernet output, or Ethernet input to optical output. Optical hot-backup mode can feed two fiber converters to support loop backup through the receiving-card chain.
The controller supports pixel-by-pixel calibration and independent RGB gamma adjustment for 10-bit/12-bit input. Its 3D function requires an EMT200 emitter and matching 3D glasses. Check the input format, port allocation and receiver configuration together before planning a 3D or higher-bit-depth display.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Power input | AC 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz |
| Rated power consumption | 30 W |
| Operating temperature | −20°C to +60°C |
| Operating humidity | 0%–90% RH, non-condensing |
| Storage temperature | −20°C to +70°C |
| Dimensions | 482.6 × 363.0 × 88.1 mm |
| Net weight | 5.2 kg |
| Rack space | 2U |
These figures follow manufacturer specification V1.1.1, released March 18, 2020 for hardware V1.0.3.0. USB OUT is a cascade output; the specification prohibits connecting the flat Type-A USB interface directly to the control computer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the MCTRL1600 have an HDMI input?
The specification lists one DP 1.2 input and four DVI connectors. It does not list a native HDMI input. Use the documented DisplayPort or DVI source path.
What is the difference between Dual Link and Single Link DVI mode?
Dual Link uses DVI1 and DVI2, with up to 3840 × 1080 at 60 Hz per input; DVI3 and DVI4 are unavailable. Single Link uses all four inputs, each up to 1920 × 1200 at 60 Hz.
Can MCTRL1600 act as a fiber converter?
Yes. Fiber-converter mode converts optical input to Ethernet output or Ethernet input to optical output. Sending-card mode instead uses those connections as display-data outputs.
Does 10-bit or 12-bit input keep the same Ethernet-port capacity?
No. The linked specification lists 650,000 pixels per port for 8-bit and 320,000 pixels per port for 10-bit/12-bit. It also requires the corresponding input bit-depth setting in NovaLCT.
What does the MCTRL1600 need for 3D display?
The documented 3D function works with the EMT200 3D emitter and matching 3D glasses. Confirm the full screen configuration and required accessories before ordering; the controller alone is not the complete 3D system.
