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 MX20
The MX20 is NovaStar's entry-level offering in the premium COEX Series (Creativity, Openness, Extensibility, Infinite possibilities), delivering professional-grade performance in a compact, cost-effective package. This all-in-one controller seamlessly integrates video processing and video control into a single unit, eliminating the need for separate devices. Equipped with 2x HDMI 1.3 and 1x 3G-SDI inputs, the MX20 accommodates diverse video sources while maintaining exceptional reliability. With 6x Gigabit Ethernet output ports and 2x 10G optical fiber ports, it handles displays up to 3.9 million pixels (max 3840×2560) across 3 independent processing layers. The MX20 excels in applications requiring precise synchronization through its Genlock support, delivering ultra-low latency (1 frame) and adaptive frame rates from 23.98-480 Hz. Its advanced image processing includes four intelligent scaling modes (custom, pixel-to-pixel, snap to canvas, fill screen), 14-channel color correction, and full-grayscale calibration for uniform brightness. Fully compatible with NovaStar's VMP (Vision Management Platform) software, the MX20 provides intuitive centralized control for studios, broadcasting facilities, corporate events, and professional installations where space efficiency and reliability are paramount.
