NovaStar MX30 COEX LED Display Controller – COEX Series

NovaStar MX30 COEX LED Display Controller – COEX Series (view 2)

The NovaStar MX30 is the mid-tier LED display controller in NovaStar's premium COEX Series (Creativity, Openness, Extensibility, Infinite possibilities), purpose-built for demanding professional applications including virtual production, xR/VP stages, broadcast studios, E-sports arenas, and large-scale rental operations. This sophisticated all-in-one controller unifies video processing and control while offering exceptional input flexibility: 1x HDMI 2.0 (supporting up to 4K@60Hz), 1x HDMI 1.4, 1x DisplayPort 1.1, and 2x 3G-SDI inputs with loop-through capability—making it ideal for multi-source production environments. With 10x Gigabit Ethernet outputs and 2x 10G fiber optical ports, the MX30 drives displays up to 6.5 million pixels (max 8192×7680) across 3 independent processing layers, providing the bandwidth needed for complex, high-resolution installations. The MX30 excels in HDR workflows with native HDR10 and HLG support, delivering stunning contrast and color accuracy for broadcast and cinematography applications. Its advanced feature set includes Genlock for frame-accurate synchronization, adaptive frame rates up to 240Hz for smooth motion in high-speed applications, 3D display support, 14-channel color correction, and full-grayscale calibration. Ultra-low latency operation ensures real-time responsiveness critical for virtual production and live events. Seamlessly integrated with NovaStar's VMP (Vision Management Platform) software, the MX30 delivers streamlined management and control, making it the go-to choice for professionals seeking a balance of performance, versatility, and value in mission-critical LED display applications.

Key Features

HDR

Tone-maps HDR sources onto the wall's own brightness range instead of clipping the highlights.

HDR10

Accepts HDR10 sources and maps their peak brightness onto what the wall can actually produce.

HLG

Accepts Hybrid Log-Gamma sources, the HDR format broadcast chains use.

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.

10G Fiber

10G optical I/O - single-mode twin-core reaches 10 km, multi-mode 300 m. SFP modules are not fitted at the factory.

Low Latency

Shortens the processing pipeline for live camera-to-wall work. Mutually exclusive with some scaling and effect features.

Frame Rate Adaptive

Color Replacement

14Ch Color Correction

Preset

Saved scene setups - layout, sources and sizing - recalled in one action instead of being rebuilt live.

Full-Grayscale Calibration

Grayscale Calibration

HDCP

Passes HDCP-protected sources, so consumer players and laptops display instead of showing a black or "protected content" frame.

Frequently Asked Questions

How big an LED wall can the MX30 drive?

Up to 6.5 million pixels (max 8192×7680) over 10 Gigabit Ethernet outputs, with 2× 10G fiber optical ports for long runs. That covers most rental walls and mid-size fixed installations — with no rectangle restriction, so irregular shapes use the full pixel budget.

What's the difference between the MX30, MX20, and MX40 Pro?

All three are COEX Series LED display controllers running VMP software. The MX20 (6× Ethernet, 3.9M pixels) is the entry point, the MX30 (10× Ethernet, 6.5M pixels, more inputs including 2× 3G-SDI) is the mid-tier, and the MX40 Pro (20× Ethernet, 9M pixels, 12G-SDI, Image Booster 2.0) is the flagship. See the in-depth comparison links on this page.

What software configures the MX30?

NovaStar VMP (Vision Management Platform) — not NovaLCT. VMP handles screen configuration, color management, presets, and firmware updates for the whole COEX family.

Is the MX30 suitable for xR and virtual production?

Yes — Genlock synchronization, adaptive frame rates, HDR10/HLG, and low-latency processing make it a popular mid-budget choice for xR stages and broadcast studios. If you need 12G-SDI input or more than 6.5M pixels, step up to the MX40 Pro.

Which receiving cards work with the MX30?

Current NovaStar receiving cards — most commonly the A10s Pro or A8s Pro for full COEX feature support including full-grayscale calibration. We stock both.

What is the MX30 price in the USA?

The live US price and stock status are shown at the top of this page. Olympian LED is an authorized NovaStar distributor — orders ship free from our Florida warehouse, and dealer/volume pricing is available.

What size LED wall can the MX30 drive?

The MX30 can drive 6.5 million pixels with 10 Ethernet outputs, suitable for medium to large-scale LED displays.

Is the MX30 suitable for rental applications?

Absolutely. The MX30 is designed for professional rental, staging, and touring applications where reliability is critical.

What software controls the MX30?

The MX30 is configured and controlled with VMP, a free download from Olympian LED.

What warranty is included?

All NovaStar products include a full 3-year manufacturer warranty when purchased from authorized distributors like Olympian LED.

Do you offer volume pricing?

Yes! As the largest NovaStar distributor in the USA, we offer special pricing for bulk orders and repeat customers. Contact our sales team for a custom quote.

Do you have this in stock?

We maintain over $2 million in inventory at our Titusville, Florida warehouse. Most orders ship same-day. Contact us to confirm current availability.

Can I get NET 30 payment terms?

NET 30 terms are available for qualified businesses and established customers. Please contact our sales team to discuss payment options.
