NovaStar H_4x Fiber Output Card
A fiber sending card that drives your LED panels over four 10G optical ports, loading up to 20.8 million pixels with independent, copy and backup modes. It supports single- and multi-mode SFP+ modules (10 km and 300 m), 8-bit/10-bit output, and 144Hz. 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
Long-distance LED runs over fiber
Large stadiums, arenas and outdoor walls
Installations needing optical backup paths
High-pixel-count fixed installations
Why a fiber output (sending) card?
When the LED wall is far from the processor, copper Ethernet runs out of reach. A fiber sending card carries the processed image over 10G optical links — up to 300 m on multi-mode or 10 km on single-mode — with each OPT port doing the work of eight Ethernet ports (5.2 million pixels).
Three modes give you flexibility: Independent uses all four ports for maximum capacity, Copy duplicates outputs for mirrored sections, and Backup provides hot redundancy. Note this card doesn't support the fade-transition effect — if you need fades, use the Enhanced fiber sending card.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many pixels can this card drive?
Up to 20,800,000 pixels, with a maximum width and height of 16,384 pixels.
What is each fiber port worth?
Each 10G OPT port is equivalent to eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, or 5,200,000 pixels.
What are the independent, copy and backup modes?
Independent uses all four OPT ports for output; Copy has OPT 3/4 duplicate OPT 1/2; Backup has OPT 3/4 act as hot backups for OPT 1/2.
How far can the fiber run?
Up to 300 m with multi-mode (10G SFP+ SR) or 10 km with single-mode (10G SFP+ LR) optical modules.
Does it support fade transitions?
No — the screen loaded by this card does not support the fade-transition effect. Use the Enhanced fiber sending card if you need fades.
