NovaStar H_4xFiber Sending Card (Enhanced)
The Enhanced fiber sending card drives your LED panels over eight 10G optical ports — four primary plus four hot backups — loading up to 26 million pixels with free-topology cabling and fade-transition support. Each primary OPT port is worth ten Ethernet ports, and 8-bit/10-bit output and 144Hz are supported. Compatible with the H2, H5, H9, H15 and H20 modular video wall processors.
Retail first-order promo only. Dealer, custom-pricing, and terms accounts cannot combine this with special pricing.
Ideal Applications
Perfect for a wide range of professional LED display scenarios
The largest LED canvases and creative/irregular screens
Mission-critical installs needing full optical redundancy
Touring and broadcast walls requiring fade transitions
Long-distance fiber distribution at maximum capacity
Why the Enhanced fiber sending card?
This is the top of the H sending-card range. Eight 10G optical ports — four primary and four dedicated backups (OPT 5 backs up OPT 1, and so on) — give full hot redundancy on every output while loading up to 26 million pixels, more than any other H card.
Two features set it apart: free topology lets you wire panels without the usual rectangular grouping rules, which is invaluable for creative and irregular screens, and it supports the fade-transition effect for smooth content changes. Note it can't share a screen with the standard fiber, 20xRJ45, or 16xRJ45+2xFiber cards.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many pixels can this card drive?
Up to 26,000,000 pixels (max 16,384 × 16,384) — the highest capacity of any H-Series sending card.
How does the backup work?
OPT 5–8 are dedicated backups: OPT 5 backs up/copies OPT 1, OPT 6 backs up OPT 2, OPT 7 backs up OPT 3, OPT 8 backs up OPT 4 — full hot redundancy on every primary output.
What is free topology?
It lets you cable the panels flexibly without the rectangle restriction normal sending cards impose — ideal for creative or irregular screen shapes.
Does it support fade transitions?
Yes — unlike the standard fiber card, screens loaded by this Enhanced card support the fade-transition effect.
Can I mix it with other sending cards on the same screen?
No — it cannot be used together with the H_4xFiber, H_20xRJ45, or H_16xRJ45+2xFiber cards to load the same screen. Cards of the same type with the same frame rate but different resolutions can be combined.
Which processors is it compatible with?
The H2, H5, H9, H15 and H20 modular video wall processors.
