The NovaStar VX400 Pro is a video processor and LED display controller for screens up to 2.6 million pixels. Four Gigabit Ethernet outputs connect the LED system, while HDMI 2.0 accepts sources up to 4096 × 2160 at 60 Hz. It offers video controller, fiber converter and ByPass operating modes.
Plan the screen and layer layout
The output can extend up to 10,240 pixels wide or 8,192 pixels high, subject to the total pixel capacity. Free topology requires specific receiving cards, and the screen’s enclosing rectangle must fit within the device loading capacity.
Six 2K × 1K layer resources are available. A 2K × 1K layer consumes one resource, a 4K × 1K layer consumes two and a 4K × 2K layer consumes four. Adjust layer position, size, priority and aspect ratio, then save up to 256 presets. Scaling includes full-screen, pixel-to-pixel and custom modes.

Playback and installation details
The USB player decodes MP4 video using H.264 up to 3840 × 2160 at 30 fps or H.265 up to 3840 × 2160 at 60 fps. Its source resolution inside the controller is fixed at 1920 × 1080 at 60 Hz. JPG, JPEG, PNG and BMP still images are supported. HDMI 4K60 input and USB 4K decoding therefore describe different signal paths.
Low latency in video controller mode is specified as 1–2 frames. Zero-frame device latency requires low latency plus ByPass mode, where video processing is unavailable. Cabinets must align at the top of the enclosing rectangle. Optical modules are purchased separately and are not factory-installed.
Pixel-level brightness and chroma calibration works with NovaLCT and NovaStar calibration software. 3D operation requires a compatible emitter and glasses; Side-by-Side or Top-and-Bottom 3D halves the output capacity. Backup options cover devices, input sources, Ethernet ports and optical/Ethernet paths.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the VX400 Pro accept 4K60 input?
Yes. Its HDMI 2.0 input supports up to 4096 × 2160 at 60 Hz. Supported bit depth and frame rate vary with color sampling. The LED output remains limited to 2.6 million pixels.
Can all six layers be full 4K?
No. The device has six 2K × 1K resources. A full 4K × 2K layer uses four of those resources; a 4K × 1K layer uses two.
Can it play videos from a USB drive?
Yes. Use a single-partition NTFS, FAT32 or exFAT drive and a supported MP4 file. H.264 decoding reaches 4K30 and H.265 reaches 4K60, while the USB source presented to the processor is fixed at 1920 × 1080 at 60 Hz.
How do I enable zero-frame latency?
The specified zero-frame device delay requires ByPass mode with low latency enabled. Video processing is unavailable in this mode, and cabinets must be aligned at the top of the enclosing rectangle.
How can I request the VX400 Pro price?
Contact sales for specific pricing. Provide the LED screen resolution, receiving-card model, source formats and any optical or backup requirements so the quotation covers the required configuration.
