The NovaStar MCTRL4K is a dedicated 4K LED display controller (sending box) built for large-format LED walls that need a full 4096×2160@60 Hz of loading capacity from a single unit. Unlike all-in-one processors, the MCTRL4K is a pure sending controller: pair it with your video processor or feed it directly from a media server or graphics card over DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 2.0, or dual DL-DVI, and it drives the wall through 16 Neutrik etherCON Gigabit Ethernet ports plus 4 optical fiber outputs for long-distance runs. It supports custom resolutions with a width or height up to 7680 pixels, which makes it a go-to controller for ultra-wide and ultra-tall installations — ribbon boards, perimeter displays, and architectural facades that break normal aspect ratios. Image quality features carry NovaStar's flagship DNA: HDR support, individual gamma adjustment for R, G, and B, low-latency processing, 3D display support, and pixel-level brightness and chroma calibration that produce uniform, detailed images across the entire wall. Multiple units cascade for walls beyond 8.8 million pixels, and configuration is handled through NovaLCT — the same software your receiving cards and legacy NovaStar hardware already use, which keeps the MCTRL4K a drop-in choice for integrators standardized on the MCTRL workflow. Stable, reliable, and field-proven across thousands of installations, the MCTRL4K remains one of the most widely deployed 4K LED display controllers in North America, and Olympian LED stocks it in Florida with same-day shipping on in-stock orders.

Configured with NovaLCT — drop-in for existing MCTRL workflows

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.
Genlock
Locks output timing to an external sync reference (bi-level or tri-level) so the wall stays in step with cameras and other devices on the same clock.
4K
Low Latency
Shortens the processing pipeline for live camera-to-wall work. Mutually exclusive with some scaling and effect features.
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.
12-bit
12-bit per-channel processing - finer gradients and more detail in the low greys than 8-bit, which is where LED banding usually shows.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the MCTRL4K and an all-in-one controller like the VX1000 Pro?

The MCTRL4K is a pure sending controller — it takes a finished video signal (DP 1.2, HDMI 2.0, or DL-DVI) and sends it to the wall. All-in-one controllers like the VX1000 Pro add scaling, layers, and source switching. Choose the MCTRL4K when a media server or external processor already handles that, and you need maximum clean 4K loading.

How many pixels can the MCTRL4K load?

A full 4096×2160@60 Hz (about 8.8 million pixels) per unit, over 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports or 4 optical fiber outputs. Custom resolutions up to 7680 pixels wide or tall are supported, and multiple units cascade for bigger walls.

What software configures the MCTRL4K?

NovaLCT — the standard NovaStar configuration tool. Screen configuration, calibration, and firmware updates all run through it, so the MCTRL4K drops into existing NovaStar workflows without retraining.

Does the MCTRL4K support HDR and 3D?

Yes. HDR improves brightness and grayscale performance with compatible receiving cards, and 3D display is supported with the appropriate 3D emitter and glasses setup.

What is the MCTRL4K price in the USA?

The live US price and stock are at the top of this page. Olympian LED is an authorized NovaStar distributor — in-stock units ship free from Florida, with dealer and volume pricing available.

What size LED wall can the MCTRL4K drive?

The MCTRL4K can drive 8.9 million pixels with 16 Ethernet outputs, suitable for medium to large-scale LED displays.

Is the MCTRL4K suitable for rental applications?

Absolutely. The MCTRL4K is designed for professional rental, staging, and touring applications where reliability is critical.

What software controls the MCTRL4K?

The MCTRL4K is configured and controlled with NovaLCT, a free download from Olympian LED.
