About the NovaStar SP60 Pro
The SP60 Pro is a specialized LED display controller created by NovaStar specifically for sub-pixel (virtual pixel) screens. Equipped with 20 Ethernet ports and 2x 10G optical ports, it combines video processing and control functions with advanced sub-pixel rendering technology. Featuring 2x HDMI 2.0 inputs (with loop output), the SP60 Pro can work seamlessly with VMP (Vision Management Platform) software for enhanced operation and control. With support for mainstream sub-pixel layouts (Delta1, Delta3, Delta4, RGGB) and dynamic sub-pixel rendering technology offering three modes (Standard, Video, Document), it maximizes display content without changing physical pixel density. The controller features Dynamic Booster for real-time frame analysis to improve contrast and reduce power consumption by 20-40%, Image Booster 2.0 for enhanced image quality, and Full-grayscale calibration with NovaStar's high-precision system. Supporting 2 independent layers with up to 8K×2K resolution per layer, HDR10/HLG, 3D display, and ultra-low latency (less than 1ms in Send-Only mode), the SP60 Pro delivers exceptional visual performance for professional sub-pixel LED applications. The controller supports up to 128 customizable presets and includes comprehensive device monitoring capabilities.
About the NovaStar CX40 Pro
The CX40 Pro is a 4K LED display controller in NovaStar's COEX series. This controller offers rich video input connectors (2x HDMI 2.0 with loop through, 1x DP 1.2, and 2x 12G-SDI with loop through) and supports 5Gbps DATA output via 6x Ethernet ports and 40Gbps remote transmission via optical port. The CX40 Pro can also work with the brand-new VMP (Vision Management Platform) software to provide a better operation and control experience. Featuring a 5.5-inch touch LCD, it makes user operation and control much easier. ⚠️ IMPORTANT: The 5Gbps Ethernet outputs require 5G-compatible receiving cards - NOT compatible with standard Gigabit Ethernet receiving cards.
