NovaStar H_1xST2110 Input Card
Connect your H-Series processor to a broadcast IP plant over 25G fiber. The H-Series 1x SMPTE ST 2110 Input Card provides a primary and a backup 25G optical port (SMPTE 2022-7 redundancy), accepts 8-/10-bit 4:4:4/4:2:2 up to 4096x2160@60Hz with BT.601/709/2020, supports SDP-file or direct stream configuration, and IGMPv2/v3 multicast. Two 25G optical modules are included and pre-installed. Compatible with the H2, H5, H9, H15 and H20 modular video wall processors.

Ideal Applications
Perfect for a wide range of professional LED display scenarios
Broadcast facilities & IP production plants
Outside broadcast and large live events
PTP-synchronized studio environments
Mission-critical feeds needing path redundancy
Why SMPTE ST 2110 for your LED wall?
ST 2110 is how modern broadcast facilities move video, audio and metadata as separate, uncompressed essence streams over IP with PTP timing. If your plant is already 2110, this card lets the LED wall join that fabric directly — no conversion to HDMI or SDI in between.
It carries up to 10-bit 4:4:4 at 4K60 with BT.2020 wide gamut, and the dual 25G ports give you SMPTE 2022-7 hitless redundancy — a second path that keeps the picture up if the primary fails. That's the level of reliability broadcast and high-end live production demand.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is SMPTE ST 2110?
It is the broadcast standard for carrying uncompressed video, audio and metadata as separate streams over IP, with PTP (SMPTE 2059) timing — the backbone of modern IP broadcast facilities.
Does it support redundancy?
Yes — a primary and a backup 25G optical port provide SMPTE 2022-7 hitless redundancy, so a failure on one path doesn't drop the picture.
What formats does it accept?
8-bit/10-bit 4:4:4 or 4:2:2 up to 4096x2160@60Hz, with BT.601, BT.709 and BT.2020 color.
How are streams configured?
By loading an SDP file or entering the stream details directly. It supports IGMPv2/IGMPv3 multicast and IPv4 addressing.
Are optical modules included?
Yes — two 25G optical modules ship with the card and are pre-installed.
Which processors is this card compatible with?
It works in the H2, H5, H9, H15 and H20 modular video wall processors, using one input slot.
