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.
Pixel-Level Brightness and Chroma 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 BR840-1 for my LED modules?

The BR840-1 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 BR840-1?

The BR840-1 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.

What warranty is included?

All NovaStar products include a full 3-year manufacturer warranty when purchased from authorized distributors like Olympian LED.

Do you offer volume pricing?

Yes! As the largest NovaStar distributor in the USA, we offer special pricing for bulk orders and repeat customers. Contact our sales team for a custom quote.

Do you have this in stock?

We keep over $2 million in inventory at our Titusville, Florida warehouse, and most orders ship same-day. Even if a product shows out of stock on the site, email us before you rule it out β€” we may have just received a batch we have not logged yet, have reserved units that freed up, or have more arriving within a day, and if not we can usually source it fast. We will check the real count and get right back to you.

Can I get NET 30 payment terms?

NET 30 terms are available for qualified businesses and established customers. Please contact our sales team to discuss payment options.
