NovaStar MX_2xST2110 (25G) Input Card
The MX_2xST2110 (25G) Input Card provides two 25G fiber ports of uncompressed SMPTE ST 2110 IP video for NovaStar MX2000 Pro and MX6000 Pro COEX controllers. With dual ports it doubles the independent ST 2110 essence streams — video, audio, and metadata carried separately over IP and timed by PTP — that can be ingested into the LED processor at the 25G tier. It is built for broadcast IP plants that need more than a single ST 2110 feed into the wall.

Ideal Applications
Perfect for a wide range of professional LED display scenarios
Broadcast and OB-truck IP plants bringing multiple ST 2110 feeds into one processor
Multi-source studio and virtual-production setups needing two independent IP inputs
Live events consolidating several uncompressed IP streams on one dual-port card
IP video cores where more than one ST 2110 feed must reach the MX controller over Ethernet
Why dual 25G ST 2110 ports for an LED wall?
SMPTE ST 2110 is the broadcast standard for carrying uncompressed video over standard IP networks. It breaks each source into separate streams — video, audio, and metadata — aligned by PTP timing, letting a plant route and switch content entirely over Ethernet rather than dedicated SDI infrastructure.
This card stays at the practical 25G bandwidth tier but adds a second port, so you can ingest two independent ST 2110 feeds into one MX2000 Pro or MX6000 Pro slot — useful when the wall needs more than one uncompressed IP source (for example two camera or playout feeds) without stepping up to a single 100G link.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose the 2x card over the 1x 25G card?
It has two 25G ST 2110 fiber ports instead of one, ingesting two independent streams at the same bandwidth tier — the right choice when you need more than a single IP feed into the wall.
How does this compare to the 100G card?
This card offers two separate 25G ports for multiple standard feeds; the 100G card uses one much wider port for the highest-resolution single streams. The choice is more ports at 25G vs more bandwidth on one port.
Which MX controllers is it compatible with?
The NovaStar MX-Series COEX controllers — MX2000 Pro and MX6000 Pro.
Are the two ports independent inputs?
Yes — the card exposes two 25G ST 2110 ingest ports for two independent uncompressed IP feeds.
What does SMPTE ST 2110 carry?
Uncompressed video, audio, and metadata as separate IP essence streams kept in sync by PTP timing.
Do I need SDI to use this card?
No — both ports ingest directly from your ST 2110 fabric without baseband SDI conversion.
