NovaStar VX600 User manual

Self-adaptive OPT 1 for either video input or
sending card output
Thanks to the self-adaptive design, OPT 1 can
be used as either an input or output connector,
depending on its connected device.
Audio input and output
−Audio input accompanied with HDMI input
source
−Audio output via a multifunction card
−Output volume adjustment supported
Low latency
Reduce the delay from the input to receiving
card to 20 lines when the low latency function
and Bypass mode are both enabled.
3x layers
−Adjustable layer size and position
−Adjustable layer priority
Output synchronization
An internal input source or external Genlock can
be used as the sync source to ensure the output
images of all cascaded units in sync.
Powerful video processing
−Based on SuperView III image quality
processing technologies to provide stepless
output scaling
−One-click full screen display
−Free input cropping
Easy preset saving and loading
−Up to 10 user-defined presets supported
−Load a preset by simply pressing one button
Multiple kinds of hot backup
−Backup between devices
−Backup between Ethernet ports
−Backup between input sources
Mosaic input source supported
The mosaic source is composed of two sources
(2K×1K@60Hz) accessed to the OPT 1.
Up to 4 units cascaded for image mosaic
Three working modes
−Video Controller
−Fiber Converter
−Bypass
All-round color adjustment
Input source and LED screen color adjustment
supported, including brightness, contrast,
saturation, hue and Gamma
Pixel level brightness and chroma calibration
Work with NovaLCT and NovaStar calibration
software to support brightness and chroma
calibration on each LED, effectively removing
color discrepancies and greatly improving LED
display brightness and chroma consistency,
allowing for better image quality.
Multiple operation modes
Control the device as you wish via V-Can,
NovaLCT or device front panel knob and
buttons.
