NovaStar VX1000 vs VX1000 Pro
The NovaStar VX1000 and NovaStar VX1000 Pro are both in the Video Processors family. This page compares their specifications side by side so you can choose the right controller for your LED display project.
The VX1000 Pro is the current-generation replacement for the VX1000. NovaStar no longer recommends the VX1000 for new designs, so for a new LED display project the VX1000 Pro is usually the right buy — the VX1000 remains a solid choice if you are matching an existing installation.
