The MX_4 DP1.2 Input Card adds four independent DisplayPort 1.2 inputs to NovaStar MX-Series COEX video processors such as the MX2000 Pro and MX6000 Pro. Each DP 1.2 connector accepts signals up to 4096×2160 (4K) and supports HDR10 and HLG for accurate high-dynamic-range playback. It is the right choice when you need to feed multiple computer or media-server sources into an MX-Series controller over DisplayPort.
Ideal Applications
Perfect for a wide range of professional LED display scenarios
Why a DisplayPort 1.2 input card?
DisplayPort 1.2 is the high-bandwidth digital interface built into most graphics cards, workstations, and media servers. It carries uncompressed video up to 4K and is the native output many PC-based content systems use, making it the simplest, highest-quality way to connect those sources directly to an LED processor without converters.
Choose this card when your sources are computers, laptops, or media servers that output DisplayPort. With four inputs on one card you consolidate multiple DP feeds into a single MX-Series chassis, keep full 4K HDR fidelity, and reserve other slots for HDMI, SDI, or output cards as your signal mix demands.
