Custom Resolution Calculator
Enter any resolution to calculate the maximum achievable frame rate for each input type. Bandwidth limits from NovaStar DCS (Device Configuration Schema).
Output & Connectivity
| Ethernet Output | 10x Gigabit Ethernet |
| Fiber Output | 2x 10G optical (SFP cages) OPT 1 is self-adaptive - video input or output. OPT 2 does output copy, backup, or loop. Three combinations: input+output, input+loop, or output+copy/backup. Single-mode twin-core reaches 10 km, multi-mode 300 m. Optical modules are not fitted at the factory - order SFPs separately. |
| Monitoring | 1x HDMI 1.3 (monitoring) |
| Audio I/O | 3.5mm Audio Input/Output |
Control & Sync
| 2x ETHERNET | Control ports for device control and firmware upgrade over Unico. Per-port LEDs show link (top left) and traffic (top right). |
| USB | USB 2.0 control port - cascade up to 5 devices with the Ethernet port, update firmware from a USB drive, and import or export device logs and EDID files. Separate from the USB 3.0 media port on the input side. |
| RS232 | 3-pin phoenix connector (RX / TX / G) for third-party AV control systems. |
| GENLOCK IN-LOOP | External sync reference, bi-level and tri-level, 24-60 Hz. IN accepts the signal, LOOP passes it to the next device. Not fitted on the VX400 Pro. |
| LIGHT SENSOR | Ambient light sensor input for automatic screen brightness. |
| 3D | 3D emitter connector - pairs with compatible active glasses. Enabling 3D with a Side-by-Side or Top-and-Bottom source halves the device's output capacity. |

Working Modes
| Mode | What it does | Latency |
|---|---|---|
| Video Controller | Full processing - layers, scaling, crop, colour management. The default, and what you buy the box for. | 1-2 frames low latency / 2-3 standard |
| Fiber Converter | Converts between optical and electrical with no processing - the box becomes a CVT-class converter. | 0 frames |
| ByPass | Sends the source straight to the cabinets with video processing switched off. Lowest possible delay for live camera-to-wall work. | 0 frames low latency / 1 standard |
| Genlock and low latency are not mutually exclusive in Video Controller mode, but cannot both be enabled in ByPass mode. | ||
