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.

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.
