H_4×3G SDI OUTPUT CARD | Carte de Sortie Quadruple 3G-SDI Novastar H | Full HD Broadcast

The Novastar H_4×3G SDI Output Card is a professional-grade expansion module designed for the high-performance H-Series video wall processors. Engineered for broadcast and high-end live production, this card provides four independent BNC ports, each supporting uncompressed 3G-SDI signals. Designed to handle Full HD resolution at 60Hz per output, it ensures zero-latency signal distribution across your LED display ecosystem. Whether you are managing complex pixel mapping or need reliable long-distance signal transmission, this module offers the robust connectivity required for mission-critical environments. Its hot-swappable architecture allows for seamless integration into H2, H5, H9, and H15 chassis without interrupting active playback, providing the ultimate flexibility for rental and fixed installations.

Professional Signal Integrity and Modular Architecture

In the world of high-end LED display processing, maintaining signal fidelity from the source to the pixel is paramount. The H_4×3G SDI Output Card utilizes the 3G-SDI standard to deliver 2.970 Gbit/s bandwidth, ensuring that high-refresh-rate content remains fluid and artifact-free. Unlike HDMI or DVI, SDI is designed for professional hardware locking and long-distance cable runs without signal degradation, which is critical when the processor is located far from the monitoring bridge or recording suite.

Optimized for Mosaic and Quad-Link 4K

Each of the four outputs can operate independently or be configured as a Quad-Link group. This allows the H-Series processor to output a full 4K signal via four 3G-SDI cables, a common requirement for legacy broadcast recorders and high-end UHD monitors. By utilizing advanced FPGA processing within the H-Series chassis, this card maintains perfect synchronization between all outputs, preventing tearing or phase shifts across the LED tiles. For setups utilizing SMD or GOB technology, this ensures that the high contrast ratios and wide viewing angles of your panels are accurately represented on every preview screen.

Versatile Deployment Across Industries

The H_4×3G SDI Output Card is a versatile tool for various professional scenarios:

• Broadcast Studios: Integrating the LED wall processor into the studio's SDI workflow for real-time monitoring and recording of the visual backdrop.
• Live Concerts and Tours: Sending processed video feeds to "Imag" (Image Magnification) screens or OB vans located at significant distances from the stage.
• Command and Control Centers: Distributing high-resolution data visualizations to multiple operator workstations and auxiliary displays simultaneously.
• Corporate Events: Facilitating quad-link 4K output for high-end projectors or secondary LED displays that require standardized professional inputs.

By providing reliable, uncompressed video transport, this card bridges the gap between the modular H-Series processor and the global standard of broadcast video production.

Technical Integration and Maintenance

To ensure the best performance with your Novastar H-Series SDI card, consider the following technical guidelines:

• Cable Quality: Always use high-quality 75-ohm BNC cables rated for 3G-SDI speeds to prevent bit errors and signal drops, especially for runs exceeding 50 meters.
• Hot-Swapping: While the card is hot-swappable, always ensure the thumb screws are fully tightened to maintain a solid connection with the backplane and prevent ESD issues.
• Firmware Sync: Ensure your H-Series controller firmware is up to date. The output card’s performance, specifically regarding EDID management and scaling, is optimized through the latest Novastar COEX or H-Series software updates.
• Monitoring: Use the card to feed a local multiviewer monitor to verify the integrity of the processed signal before it reaches the fiber converters or LED receiving cards.
