NovaStar MX_1xST2110 (25G) Input Card
The MX_1xST2110 (25G) Input Card adds a single 25G fiber port of uncompressed SMPTE ST 2110 IP video to NovaStar MX2000 Pro and MX6000 Pro COEX controllers. It ingests ST 2110 essence streams — video, audio, and metadata carried separately over IP and timed by PTP — directly from a broadcast IP fabric into the LED processor. The 25G tier suits standard broadcast HD/UHD feeds where a full 100G uplink is not required.

Ideal Applications
Perfect for a wide range of professional LED display scenarios
Broadcast studios feeding an LED backdrop from an existing ST 2110 network
Live event and corporate AV systems adopting IP video without a full 100G core
OB and flypack rigs needing one ST 2110 ingest port into the MX controller
IP-based distribution where uncompressed video reaches the processor over Ethernet instead of SDI
Why ST 2110 over 25G for an LED wall?
SMPTE ST 2110 is the broadcast standard for sending uncompressed video over ordinary IP networks. It separates each source into individual streams — video, audio, and metadata — aligned with PTP timing, so a facility can route and switch content entirely over Ethernet instead of dedicated SDI cabling.
The 25G variant matches the bandwidth most broadcast IP plants actually run for HD and UHD feeds. A single 25G fiber link is plenty for standard-resolution uncompressed streams while costing less network than a 100G port — the practical choice for one ST 2110 ingest into an MX2000 Pro or MX6000 Pro.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the 2x 25G ST 2110 card?
Port count. This card provides one 25G ST 2110 fiber ingest port; the 2x card provides two, doubling the independent streams you can bring in at the same bandwidth tier.
How does the 25G card compare to the 100G card?
The 100G card uses a single much wider 100GbE pipe for the highest-resolution streams; the 25G card targets standard HD/UHD feeds at lower network cost.
Which MX controllers is it compatible with?
The NovaStar MX-Series COEX controllers — MX2000 Pro and MX6000 Pro.
What does SMPTE ST 2110 carry?
Uncompressed video, audio, and metadata as separate IP essence streams kept in sync by PTP timing, ingested straight into the MX controller.
What connector does the card use?
A single 25G fiber port for ST 2110 input.
Do I still need SDI with this card?
No — ST 2110 keeps video on the IP network end to end, so the card ingests directly from your fabric without baseband SDI conversion.
What warranty is included?
All NovaStar products include a full 3-year manufacturer warranty when purchased from authorized distributors like Olympian LED.
