CX80 PRO INPUT CARD 1 | Carte d'Entrée Hybride 8K Novastar | 6 Ports Pro

The CX80 PRO INPUT CARD 1 is the definitive high-performance interface designed specifically for the Novastar CX80 Pro control system. This hybrid input module serves as a bridge for ultra-high-resolution content, supporting the most demanding 8K and 4K workflows. By integrating HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, and 12G-SDI connectors on a single board, it allows seamless transition between cinema-grade sources, professional workstations, and live broadcast feeds.

Built for zero-compromise environments, this card ensures full bandwidth signal integrity without compression artifacts. Whether you are driving a massive LED wall with high refresh rates or managing a complex multi-source broadcast setup, this module provides the stability and pixel-perfect fidelity required for international high-end installations. It is an essential component for projects requiring the lowest latency processing and maximum color depth.

State-of-the-Art Processing and Signal Integrity

As the backbone of premium LED processing, the CX80 PRO INPUT CARD 1 leverages the latest in high-bandwidth transmission protocols. Unlike standard input modules, this card is engineered to handle the massive data throughput required for 8K video at high refresh rates, essential for preventing flickering and motion blur on modern LED screens.

Broadcast-Grade SDI and Display Standards

• HDMI 2.1 & DP 1.4: These ports allow for HDR (High Dynamic Range) content processing and wide color gamuts, ensuring that your LED panels—whether using SMD or the latest high-contrast GOB (Glue on Board) technology—reach their full visual potential.
• 12G-SDI Connectivity: The four 12G-SDI ports are crucial for the broadcast industry, allowing ultra-low latency 4K video feeds directly from professional cameras.
• Reliability and Hot-Swappability: Designed for reliability, the card can be swapped without powering down the entire chassis, a critical feature for high-stakes live events where uptime is non-negotiable.

By optimizing the input stage, the CX80 PRO minimizes signal degradation, preserving the high contrast ratio and wide viewing angles of your premium LED cabinets.

Versatile Applications for High-Resolution Visuals

The CX80 PRO INPUT CARD 1 is designed for high-end environments where image quality is the priority:

• Virtual Production & xR Studios: Essential for handling the synchronization between camera tracking and high-resolution LED backdrops with sub-millisecond latency.
• Broadcast Control Rooms: The 4x 12G-SDI ports make it the perfect choice for newsrooms and sports broadcasting requiring high-bandwidth 4K feeds.
• Corporate Flagships & Retail: Drive massive 8K displays in luxury retail spaces or corporate lobbies to showcase uncompressed, high-impact marketing content.
• Large-Scale Live Events: Ideal for touring and concerts where multiple source types (media servers via DP and live cameras via SDI) must be switched seamlessly.

From the narrow pixel pitch of an indoor command center to high-brightness outdoor rental stages, this card provides the flexibility required for any professional installation.

Technical Optimization for Professional Workflows

To maximize the performance of your CX80 PRO setup, follow these technical best practices:

• Cable Specifications: Always use certified HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 cables to maintain signal stability at 8K resolutions. For 12G-SDI, ensure high-quality 75-ohm coaxial cables are used to prevent signal dropouts over longer distances.
• Refresh Rate Sync: Match the output refresh rate of your media server with the LED display's refresh rate (typically 3840Hz or higher) to eliminate visual tearing and artifacts.
• Heat Management: Ensure the CX80 Pro chassis is installed in a rack with proper ventilation, as high-bandwidth cards generate significant heat during 8K processing.
• Firmware Alignment: Always verify that the input card firmware is synchronized with the Novastar VMP (Vision Management Platform) software for full access to advanced features like low-latency mode and color calibration.
