Frequently asked questions
What is the ICND1018 chip?
The ICND1018 is a row/scan decode chip made by Chipone used on LED display modules. It is not a pixel driver IC β instead of setting pixel grayscale, it handles the panel's multiplexed scan addressing (selecting which row group is lit). A scan LED panel uses a decode/scan chip like this together with a pixel driver IC.
Does NovaStar support the ICND1018?
Yes β the ICND1018 is in NovaStar's recognized decode/scan-chip library. Because a firmware version supports a specific group of driver ICs paired with a specific group of decode chips, exact support depends on your receiving card and firmware version. Upload your config to our RCFGX viewer to confirm, or call 321-747-3220.
How do I find out which driver IC and decode chip my LED panel uses?
Open your receiving card configuration file (.rcfgx) β it records both the pixel driver IC and the scan/decode chip plus the firmware version. Our free online RCFGX viewer reads this for you without installing NovaLCT.
