NovaStar A8s – Receiving Cards

The A8s is a high-end full-featured small receiving card developed by NovaStar. For PWM driver ICs, a single A8s supports resolutions up to 512×384@60Hz. For common driver ICs, a single A8s supports resolutions up to 384×384@60Hz. Adopting the exclusive Image Booster technology of NovaStar, the A8s can precisely calibrate the color gamut and grayscale of the screen, and improve the grayscale by 64 times. It also supports the pixel level brightness and chroma calibration, individual gamma adjustment for RGB, low latency, 3D and HDR functions, significantly improving the brightness, grayscale and color performance from every aspect and offering users an ultimate visual experience with a uniform, smooth and lifelike image.

Key Highlights

Pixel-level brightness & chroma calibration

Key Features

HDR
Tone-maps HDR sources onto the wall's own brightness range instead of clipping the highlights.
3D
Drives active 3D glasses through a 3D emitter. Side-by-Side and Top-and-Bottom sources halve the output capacity.
Low Latency
Shortens the processing pipeline for live camera-to-wall work. Mutually exclusive with some scaling and effect features.
Backup
Redundancy so one failure does not black the wall - a backup device, backup input source, backup Ethernet port, OPT-to-Ethernet failover, or dual receiving cards, depending on the model.
Color Calibration
Per-pixel correction of the brightness and colour differences between modules and cabinets, so a wall built from mixed batches reads as one panel.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I configure the A8s for my LED modules?

The A8s is configured with an RCFG configuration file loaded through NovaLCT (Screen Configuration, Receiving Card, Load Configuration File, then Save to Hardware). Your module or sign manufacturer supplies the file, or read it back from a working card. Olympian LED hosts a free browser-based RCFGX viewer at olympianled.com/tools/rcfgx-viewer to inspect any config file.

What controllers work with the A8s?

The A8s works with the full NovaStar sending lineup: VX all-in-one controllers, COEX MX controllers, MCTRL sending boxes, and Taurus multimedia players. Match the receiving-card firmware to your driver IC generation.
