NovaStar MX30 all-in-one LED display controller
The MX30 brings video processing and LED screen control into a single COEX controller. HDMI 2.0, HDMI 1.4, DP 1.1 and dual 3G-SDI inputs provide connections for different source systems. VMP software manages the screen configuration and device status.
Choose the working mode for your screen
All-In-One Controller mode enables up to three independent layers and image scaling. Choose custom, pixel-to-pixel, snap-to-canvas or fill-screen scaling and set layer priority in Z order. Send-Only Controller mode reduces controller latency by one frame.
With low latency enabled, the V1.0.1 specification lists less than 1 ms (zero frames) at the controller in Send-Only mode and one frame in All-In-One mode. Low latency and Genlock are mutually exclusive. All Ethernet ports must load cabinets vertically and share the same Y coordinate to use low latency.

Color adjustment and system requirements
Use 14-channel color correction to adjust hue, saturation and brightness for black, white and twelve derived colors. Full-grayscale calibration requires A10s Pro receiving cards and a C3200 camera in the documented setup. Frame Rate Adaptive also requires A10s Pro, a supported driver IC and an .ncp file generated by NovaStar Cabinet Tool.
For irregular screens, blank areas do not count toward the loaded cabinet pixels. Check the Ethernet-port load table for the intended bit depth and frame rate. VMP supports device and screen monitoring, and the controller supports SNMP and Art-Net protocols.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum screen capacity of the NovaStar MX30?
The specified maximum device load is 6.5 million pixels. The usable load per Ethernet port depends on the source bit depth, frame rate and receiving card, so check those conditions when mapping cabinets.
Does the MX30 support 4K video input?
The HDMI 2.0 input supports 4096 × 2160 at 60 Hz at 8-bit, with higher-bit-depth limits depending on chroma sampling. HDMI 1.4 and DP 1.1 have a listed 8-bit maximum of 4096 × 1080 at 60 Hz.
How many layers can the MX30 display?
It supports up to three independent layers in All-In-One Controller mode. Their Z-order can be adjusted, and the four scaling modes are custom, pixel-to-pixel, snap-to-canvas and fill screen.
Can low latency and Genlock run together?
No. V1.0.1 states that these functions are mutually exclusive. Low latency also requires vertical cabinet loading on every Ethernet port with the same Y coordinate.
Does the second optical port add more screen capacity?
No. OPT1 transmits Ethernet ports 1–10, and OPT2 is its copy channel. It duplicates that data rather than adding another independent group of ten outputs.
