Retail first-order promo only. Dealer, custom-pricing, and terms accounts cannot combine this with special pricing.
The NovaStar VX2000 Pro is an all-in-one LED display controller and video processor that combines processing and sending in a single 2U device. It drives the wall over 20 Gigabit Ethernet ports plus 4 OPT optical-fiber ports, loading up to 13 million pixels, and runs as a video controller, fiber converter, or bypass. On the input side it takes DP 1.2, 2x HDMI 2.0, 4x HDMI 1.3 and 12G-SDI up to 4K×2K@60Hz. It provides 12 × 2K×1K layer resources — create layers as 4K×2K, 4K×1K or 2K×1K — with output scaling, HDR10/HLG, 10/12-bit color, screen genlock, source hot-backup and 256 presets. Control via the front panel, NovaLCT, the Unico web page, or the VICP app — built for high-end rental, staging, broadcast and fixed installations.
Ideal Applications
Perfect for a wide range of professional LED display scenarios
Why the VX2000 Pro?
The VX2000 Pro folds a video processor and an LED sending system into one 1U box. Instead of a separate scaler/switcher feeding separate sending cards, it ingests your sources (DP, HDMI, 12G-SDI), composes layers from 12 × 2K×1K layer resources, and drives the wall directly over 20 Gigabit Ethernet ports plus 4 optical-fiber ports — up to 13 million pixels.
That all-in-one design is why it's a fixture on high-end rental, staging and broadcast jobs: fewer boxes to rack and sync, HDR10/HLG with 10/12-bit color, screen genlock and source hot-backup for reliability, and control from the front panel, NovaLCT, the Unico web UI, or the VICP app.
Key Highlights
Key Features
Operating the VX2000 Pro
The VX2000 Pro is set up and run from NovaStar's Unico software, in the browser at the controller's own address - no dongle, no licence. These are its eight workspaces, with Unico's own icons.

| Fiber Output | 4x 10G optical (SFP cages) OPT 1 and OPT 2 are self-adaptive - each is a video input or sends the output of Ethernet ports 1-10 and 11-20 respectively, and OPT 2 can loop the OPT 1 input onward. OPT 3 and OPT 4 are output-only - copy or backup of ports 1-10 and 11-20. Single-mode twin-core reaches 10 km, multi-mode 300 m. Optical modules are not fitted at the factory - order SFPs separately. |

Control & Sync
| 2x ETHERNET | Control ports for device control and firmware upgrade over Unico. Per-port LEDs show link (green) and traffic (yellow). |
| USB | USB 2.0 - update firmware from a USB drive, and import or export device logs and EDID files. Device cascade (up to 5 units) and USB 3.0 media playback use the two front-panel ports on this model. |
| 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. |

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. | ||
