NovaStar N9 multi-screen video switcher
The NovaStar N9 combines HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort and 3G-SDI sources into layered screen layouts for live events, conferences and exhibition displays. For an LED wall switcher setup, it provides DVI mosaic outputs, preview monitoring and a TAKE button to switch the preview composition to the program output.
V-Can software and the NovaStar C1 desktop console provide control options for stage operation. Check the installed input configuration before selecting source cables: the specification lists alternative connector options for input 1 and inputs 2–3.
Layer composition and show control
- Arrange up to seven simultaneous layers, with adjustable size, position, stacking order and borders.
- Crop sources, clone layers, apply masks or color keying, and use shaped layers.
- Set a background from a computer image file or capture an input image.
- Save up to 32 presets for repeatable layouts and use Genlock or an input source for output synchronization.
- Monitor inputs, preview and program through the HDMI monitoring output; two additional HDMI connectors provide Aux outputs.

Planning the input and output layout
Use DP 1.2 when the source requires 3840 × 2160 at 60 Hz. The standard HDMI 1.3 inputs are listed at 1920 × 1080 at 60 Hz. The 15360 × 600 mosaic format is an output layout across four outputs; it does not describe an HDMI input resolution.
Choose single-link or dual-link output mode before assigning downstream connections. The Ethernet RJ45 connector is for control. Standard EDID settings are available from the front panel; the manual directs custom EDID configuration to the control computer or C1 console, and SDI does not support EDID settings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the NovaStar N9 support 4K input?
Yes. Its DP 1.2 input supports 3840 × 2160 at 60 Hz. The standard HDMI 1.3 inputs are specified at 1920 × 1080 at 60 Hz, so the input connector matters.
How many sources and layers can the N9 handle?
The N9 has nine inputs and supports up to seven layers at the same time. Layers can be positioned, resized, cropped and reordered for a multi-screen composition.
Can the N9 output to more than one screen?
Yes. It supports four single-link DVI mosaic outputs or two dual-link DVI mosaic outputs. In dual-link mode, DVI1-DL and DVI3-DL carry the two outputs while DVI2 and DVI4 are inactive.
Can I save layouts and switch preview to program?
Yes. The N9 stores up to 32 presets, and the front-panel TAKE button switches PVW to PGM. Its HDMI monitoring connector can display the nine input sources, preview and program.
Does the N9 work with the NovaStar C1 console and Genlock?
Yes. The N9 supports the C1 desktop console and V-Can software. Genlock input and loop connections allow synchronization of cascaded devices; synchronization to an input source is also supported.
