Frequently asked questions
What is the ICN2013 LED driver IC?
The ICN2013 is an LED display driver chip made by Chipone. It is used on the LED module to drive the pixels.
Does NovaStar support the ICN2013?
Yes β the ICN2013 is in NovaStar's recognized driver-IC library, though it may require manual receiving-card configuration rather than Smart Settings. Exact support depends on your receiving card model and firmware; upload your config to our RCFGX viewer to confirm.
How do I find out which driver IC my LED panel uses?
Open your receiving card configuration file (.rcfgx) β it records the driver IC type and firmware version. Our free online RCFGX viewer reads this for you without installing NovaLCT.
