NovaStar VX600 Pro 4K All-in-One LED Video Controller

NovaStar VX600 Pro 4K All-in-One LED Video Controller

The NovaStar VX600 Pro LED Video Controller combines video processing and LED display control in a single rackmount unit for medium-to-high-end rental, stage, and fine-pitch LED applications. It drives up to 3.9 million pixels through six Gigabit Ethernet ports, accepts video inputs up to 4096x2160@60Hz, and supports output canvases as wide as 10,240 pixels.

For production teams that need a 4K LED wall controller with flexible signal routing, the VX600 Pro provides HDMI 2.0, HDMI 1.3, 3G-SDI, optical fiber, and USB media playback. Six 2Kx1K layer resources support configurable 4Kx2K, 4Kx1K, and 2Kx1K layers, while full-screen, pixel-to-pixel, and custom scaling simplify unusual LED canvas layouts. Video controller, fiber converter, and ByPass modes let one processor cover several deployment roles.

The processor supports Genlock synchronization, EDID management, output color adjustment, pixel-level brightness and chroma calibration, and multiple backup methods for professional LED workflows. Control is available from the front panel, Unico, NovaLCT, or the VICP app. CE, FCC, IC, PSE, RCM, EAC, UL, CB, KC, and RoHS certifications provide additional documentation for professional system integration.
