H_1XDP1.2 INPUT CARD | Carte d'Entrée Single DisplayPort 1.2 Novastar H | 4K UHD

The Novastar H_1XDP1.2 Input Card is a high-performance expansion module designed for the industry-leading H Series modular video wall processors (H2, H5, H9, and H15). This specialized input card features a dedicated DisplayPort 1.2 interface, enabling the seamless integration of high-end graphical workstations and professional media servers into your LED display workflow. By supporting true 4K Ultra HD resolutions at a 60Hz refresh rate (up to 4096x2160), it ensures that high-bitrate video signals are processed with absolute precision.

This module is engineered for low-latency transmission, making it a critical component for mission-critical environments where visual synchronicity is paramount. With its hot-swappable design, the H_1XDP1.2 allows for rapid system scaling and maintenance without any downtime, providing international AV professionals with a reliable and flexible solution for managing complex pixel maps on fine-pitch LED screens.

Advanced Processing for 4K LED Ecosystems

In the realm of high-end LED displays, the quality of the signal chain is as vital as the fine pitch of the SMD or GOB LEDs themselves. The H_1XDP1.2 Input Card leverages the massive internal bandwidth of the Novastar H Series chassis to maintain signal integrity from source to screen. Unlike standard HDMI inputs, DisplayPort 1.2 offers superior performance for computer-based content, ensuring that high-refresh-rate data is delivered without artifacts.

High Refresh Rate and Sub-Millisecond Latency

To maximize the performance of LED panels with high refresh rates (3840Hz or higher), the input source must also be robust. This card supports 4K@60Hz, providing the fluid motion necessary for broadcast and xR (Extended Reality) environments. Furthermore, when paired with GOB (Glue on Board) technology screens—which offer enhanced contrast ratios and protection—the H_1XDP1.2 ensures that the high-fidelity color depth is preserved through the processing stage, providing a wide viewing angle with no signal degradation.

• Native DisplayPort 1.2 compatibility for professional GPUs (NVIDIA Quadro/RTX).
• Advanced EDID management for custom LED resolutions.
• Full integration with H Series web-based control interfaces.
• Hot-swappable architecture for 24/7 reliability.

Versatile Applications for Professional LED Displays

The H_1XDP1.2 Input Card is the preferred choice for scenarios where data precision and visual fluidness are non-negotiable:

• Control Rooms & Command Centers: Ideal for displaying high-resolution map data and telemetry from workstations where fine-pitch LED clarity (P0.9 to P1.5) is required.
• Broadcast & Virtual Studios: Critical for xR stages and film production using GOB LED walls, where sub-millisecond latency is needed for camera tracking synchronization.
• Corporate Boardrooms: Provides a professional interface for high-end video conferencing and presentation systems, ensuring sharp text and vibrant contrast ratios.
• High-End Retail: Perfectly suited for large-scale 4K digital signage in flagship stores, where color accuracy and high-resolution visuals drive brand engagement.

Technical Optimization and Maintenance

As a technical expert at Pixelight, we recommend several best practices when integrating the H_1XDP1.2 Input Card into your LED controller configuration:

• Cable Quality: Always use certified DisplayPort 1.2 cables for distances under 5 meters to maintain 4K@60Hz stability. For longer runs, consider active optical cables (AOC).
• EDID Configuration: Utilize the H-series management software to customize the EDID settings. This ensures your computer source matches the exact pixel count of your LED wall, avoiding unnecessary scaling and maintaining a 1:1 pixel mapping.
• Thermal Management: While the H-series chassis has internal cooling, ensure the server rack has adequate airflow to prevent thermal throttling of the input modules.
• Hot-Swapping: When inserting the module, ensure the locking screws are fully tightened to maintain a solid electrical ground and prevent signal noise in high-EMC environments.
