NovaStar NV7516 Receiving Card
The NovaStar NV7516 is a general LED display receiving card with 16 standard HUB75E connectors and support for up to 32 groups of parallel RGB data. It provides cabinet calibration, color adjustment and diagnostic functions for LED display systems.
Choose the loading resolution for the actual driver IC and video bit depth. An 8-bit source and a 10-bit source have different limits, even on the same card.

Current and power consumption can vary with configuration, environment and use. Refer to the PDF for connector pinouts and mounting drawings.
Display Adjustment
Color management supports Rec.709, DCI-P3, Rec.2020 and custom gamuts. The NV7516 also supports 18bit+, pixel-level brightness and chroma calibration with the NovaStar calibration system, quick seam adjustment and multi-batch adjustment.
One-frame receiving-card latency requires module driver ICs with built-in RAM. 3D output requires a supporting controller, and independent RGB gamma adjustment requires both a supporting controller and NovaLCT. Image rotation is available in 90° increments.
Mapping, Monitoring and Backup
Calibration coefficients can be uploaded, read back, saved and erased. Data group mapping and Mapping 1.1 identify data groups, controllers, Ethernet ports and receiving-card positions. Stored images can be configured for startup, Ethernet disconnection or loss of the video source.
Maintenance functions include temperature and voltage monitoring, cabinet LCD support, bit-error detection, Ethernet disconnection counts, firmware readback and configuration readback. Loop backup uses primary and backup cabling; dual program backup stores two firmware copies for recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many HUB75E connectors does the NV7516 have?
It has 16 standard HUB75E connectors and supports up to 32 parallel RGB data groups.
What is the NV7516 maximum resolution with an 8-bit source?
At 60 Hz, it is 512 × 512 pixels with a PWM driver IC or 512 × 384 pixels with a general driver IC.
Does a 10-bit source change the NV7516 loading capacity?
Yes. At 60 Hz, a 10-bit source supports up to 512 × 256 pixels with a PWM driver IC or 512 × 192 pixels with a general driver IC.
What is required for low-latency and 3D operation?
One-frame latency at the receiving-card end requires driver ICs with built-in RAM. A controller supporting 3D is required for 3D output.
What does Mapping 1.1 show?
It shows the controller, Ethernet port and receiving-card numbers on the cabinet, using different text colors for Ethernet ports to help identify physical locations and wiring.
