NovaStar MCTRL700 LED display controller
The NovaStar MCTRL700 is a 19-inch 1U LED display controller with HDMI and DVI video inputs and six Gigabit Ethernet outputs. It suits an LED screen installation that needs a live video source, receiver-card connections and separate control connections for configuration or cascading.
The specified maximum load resolution is 2048 × 1152 at 60 Hz or 1920 × 1200 at 60 Hz. Each Gigabit output supports up to 650,000 pixels. These are separate limits: adding the port capacities does not establish a higher supported input resolution.
Inputs, outputs and installation planning
- Connect the video source to HDMI IN or DVI IN; an audio input is also provided.
- Use outputs 1–6 for the LED receiving-card connections. The two 100 Mbps network ports belong to the control/cascade interfaces.
- HDMI OUT and DVI OUT can be used for cascading or monitoring.
- The square USB port connects to a computer for control. RS232 IN/OUT and the 100 Mbps IN/OUT ports support device cascading.

Frequently Asked Questions
What resolution does the NovaStar MCTRL700 support?
The manufacturer specifies 2048 × 1152 at 60 Hz or 1920 × 1200 at 60 Hz as the maximum load resolution. Confirm that the planned screen layout and video timing fit the specified modes.
How many LED output ports does the MCTRL700 have?
It has six Gigabit Ethernet outputs, each supporting up to 650,000 pixels. The separate 100 Mbps IN/OUT ports are for control cascading, rather than additional LED data outputs.
Does the MCTRL700 have HDMI and DVI inputs and outputs?
Yes. It provides one HDMI input, one DVI input, one HDMI output and one DVI output. The video outputs support cascading or monitoring.
How is the MCTRL700 connected to a computer for control?
Use the square USB control interface. The specification also lists RS232 IN/OUT and two 100 Mbps network ports for cascading devices; these connections are separate from the video-source inputs.
Where can I download the MCTRL700 specification?
The original Chinese Rev1.0.3 PDF remains available in the Download Specification section above. It includes the connector functions, operating limits and rack-format information.
