NovaStar MCTRL600 LED display controller
The NovaStar MCTRL600 sends HDMI or DVI video to an LED receiving-card system through four Gigabit Ethernet outputs. USB provides computer control, while UART IN/OUT allows multiple controllers to be managed in a cascade. The independent 1U enclosure suits rental systems and fixed LED screen installations.
Input resolution and bit-depth limits
The linked V2.2.1 specification lists 1920 × 1200 at 60 Hz for 8-bit HDMI/DVI in its video-format table, and 1440 × 900 at 60 Hz for 10-bit/12-bit input. Its HDMI connector section separately states 1920 × 1080 at 60 Hz. Because those HDMI entries differ, confirm the required HDMI timing against the actual unit and firmware before selecting a 1920 × 1200 setup.
The previous listing also named 2048 × 1152 and 2560 × 960 without refresh-rate conditions, plus YCrCb formats and 18-bit grayscale processing. These claims are not confirmed by the linked V2.2.1 video-format table and should not be used as guaranteed configuration limits.

Choosing a controller for your screen
Match the input timing and bit depth to the screen pixel layout before dividing the display across the four outputs. The per-port pixel limit does not override the input limits. Connect the light sensor if automatic brightness adjustment is required, and plan UART cabling separately from the Gigabit LED data connections.
For an MCTRL600 price or availability check, use the purchase options on this page and confirm the required quantity and supplied accessories. The V2.2.1 packing list names a power cord, USB cable and DVI cable.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many Ethernet output ports does the MCTRL600 have?
It has four Gigabit RJ45 outputs, each specified for up to 650,000 pixels. Port redundancy is supported. The complete screen must also fit the input resolution and bit-depth limits.
Does MCTRL600 support 10-bit or 12-bit video?
Yes. The V2.2.1 video-format table specifies RGB 4:4:4 input up to 1440 × 900 at 60 Hz at 10-bit or 12-bit. Do not apply the 8-bit resolution limit to these higher-bit-depth modes.
Can MCTRL600 accept 1920 × 1200 over HDMI?
The video-format table lists 1920 × 1200 at 60 Hz at 8-bit, but the same document’s HDMI connector section lists 1920 × 1080 at 60 Hz. Confirm the intended HDMI timing for the supplied unit and firmware; the discrepancy is retained here rather than treated as a guaranteed mode.
Can several MCTRL600 controllers be cascaded?
Yes. UART IN and UART OUT provide control cascading, with up to 20 controllers specified. The type-B USB port connects a controller to the computer.
How can I check the MCTRL600 price and specifications before ordering?
Use the current purchase options on this page for price and availability, and download the original V2.2.1 PDF above. Confirm your screen resolution, bit depth, receiving-card setup, quantity and accessory requirements before ordering.
