The NovaStar VX1000 Pro is an all-in-one video processor and LED controller with ten Gigabit Ethernet outputs and a maximum loading capacity of 6.5 million pixels. HDMI 2.0 input accepts up to 4096 × 2160 at 60 Hz, while optical input/output and Genlock support stage and rental signal systems.
Display layout and operator control
Six 2K × 1K layer resources support multi-source layouts. A 4K × 2K layer uses four resources; a 4K × 1K layer uses two; a 2K × 1K layer uses one. Adjust layer size, position, priority and aspect ratio, with up to 256 presets available for saved configurations.
Control the device from its front panel, NovaLCT, the Unico web page or VICP app. Image processing includes full-screen, pixel-to-pixel and custom scaling, input cropping and output color adjustment. Pixel-level brightness and chroma calibration works with NovaLCT and NovaStar calibration software.

Planning notes
The separate width and height limits do not mean the device can load a 10,240 × 8,192 screen. Keep the screen within 6.5 million pixels. Free topology requires specific receiving cards and a compatible screen layout.
Optical modules are not installed at the factory and must be purchased separately. In output mode, OPT 1 sends the ten Ethernet outputs and OPT 2 copies or backs them up. Low latency plus ByPass mode gives the documented zero-frame device delay, with video processing unavailable. Low latency in video controller mode is specified as 1–2 frames. Cabinets must align at the top of the enclosing rectangle; Genlock and low latency cannot run together in ByPass mode.
For USB video, use MP4 with H.264 up to 3840 × 2160 at 30 fps or H.265 up to 3840 × 2160 at 60 fps. Decoding a 4K file does not change the USB source’s fixed 1920 × 1080 at 60 Hz resolution. JPG, JPEG, PNG and BMP images are also supported. Side-by-Side or Top-and-Bottom 3D halves the output capacity and requires a compatible emitter and glasses.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many pixels can the VX1000 Pro drive?
Up to 6.5 million pixels through ten Gigabit Ethernet outputs. The maximum width is 10,240 pixels and maximum height is 8,192 pixels, subject to the total pixel limit.
Does it support six 4K layers?
No. Six refers to 2K × 1K layer resources. A 4K × 2K layer uses four resources and a 4K × 1K layer uses two.
Does USB playback output a full 4K source?
The player can decode supported H.264 4K30 and H.265 4K60 files, but its source resolution inside the controller is fixed at 1920 × 1080 at 60 Hz. Use HDMI 2.0 when the application requires the documented 4K60 HDMI input path.
Can Genlock and low latency be enabled together?
They can coexist in video controller mode. In ByPass mode, Genlock and low latency are mutually exclusive according to the specification.
Are optical modules included?
The specification states that optical modules are not factory-installed. Select and purchase the required modules for the fiber connection, and confirm them when requesting a configuration or quotation.
