H_1XHDMI2.0 INPUT CARD | Carte d'Entrée Single HDMI 2.0 Novastar H | 4K @ 60Hz

The Novastar H_1XHDMI2.0 Input Card is a high-performance expansion module specifically engineered for the Novastar H-Series modular video wall processors, including the H2, H5, H9, and H15 chassis. Designed for professional AV integration, this single-port HDMI 2.0 input card facilitates the seamless ingestion of ultra-high-definition video signals. By supporting resolutions up to 4096x2160 pixels at a 60Hz frame rate, it ensures that your LED display maintains exceptional fluid motion and clarity.

As a critical component for high-end LED screen management, this card bridges the gap between 4K media servers and large-scale LED video walls. It is built to maintain signal integrity over high-bandwidth transmissions, ensuring that the HDR and deep color metadata required for modern SMD and GOB LED panels are preserved. Whether you are managing complex pixel-to-pixel mapping or straightforward video playback, this hot-swappable module provides the stability and performance expected by broadcast and live event professionals world-wide.

Professional Signal Processing and Hardware Reliability

In the world of high-end LED displays, the quality of the input stage is just as critical as the Nit brightness or the pixel pitch of the modules. The H_1XHDMI2.0 card leverages the advanced architecture of the Novastar H-Series to deliver industry-leading low latency. This is particularly vital for xR (Extended Reality) and virtual production environments where frame-sync between the camera and the LED wall is paramount.

Advanced Video Specs and Modular Design

• HDMI 2.0 Bandwidth: Provides the 18Gbps throughput necessary for 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 chroma subsampling, ensuring no loss of color detail on high-contrast GOB or COB displays.
• Hot-Swappable Architecture: Enhances system uptime by allowing technicians to replace or add input cards without powering down the entire processor.
• EDID Management: Features customizable EDID settings to ensure seamless handshake between various sources and the LED controller, preventing resolution mismatches.

By utilizing this card, integrators can maximize the refresh rate capabilities of their LED driver ICs, minimizing flickering and ghosting issues during high-speed video playback. This card is essential for achieving a professional contrast ratio and fluid motion on any modern LED installation.

Versatile Applications for 4K Video Input

The H_1XHDMI2.0 Input Card is a versatile solution designed for demanding environments where 4K resolution is non-negotiable:

• Control Rooms & NOCs: Integrating high-resolution data visualizations and monitoring feeds onto large-scale, high-brightness LED video walls with 24/7 reliability.
• Corporate Flagships: Delivering crisp, high-contrast brand content in lobbies and boardrooms using fine-pitch GOB LED screens.
• Live Broadcasting & Virtual Studios: Serving as the primary input for 4K cameras and media servers where low latency is required for real-time interaction.
• Retail Excellence: Powering high-impact digital signage in luxury retail environments where colors must be vibrant and transitions must be perfectly smooth.
• Concert Tours: Providing a rugged and swappable interface for touring media servers driving large-scale stage LED displays.

Expert Tips for 4K Integration

To achieve the best performance from your Novastar H_1XHDMI2.0 Input Card, consider the following technical recommendations:

• Cable Quality: Always use certified Premium High-Speed HDMI cables (HDMI 2.0) for distances up to 5 meters. For longer runs, we recommend active optical cables (AOC) to prevent signal degradation and maintain the 60Hz refresh rate.
• Firmware Synchronization: Ensure your H-Series chassis and the input card are running the latest firmware versions to guarantee full compatibility and access to advanced EDID management features.
• Optimal Viewing Experience: When configuring 4K sources for fine-pitch LED walls (Pitch 0.9mm to 1.5mm), ensure your source output matches the native resolution of the screen for perfect pixel-to-pixel mapping.
• Power Management: Utilize the modular power redundancy of the H-Series chassis during critical live events to protect the input signal path from power failures.
