MX_2XDP1.4 INPUT CARD | Carte d'Entrée Dual DisplayPort 1.4 Novastar | 4K UHD

The MX_2XDP1.4 Input Card is a high-performance expansion module designed specifically for Novastar's modular controller ecosystems, such as the MX6000 Pro. Featuring two independent DisplayPort 1.4 inputs, this card is engineered to handle massive data throughput, supporting resolutions up to 4K Ultra HD (4096x2160) at a smooth 60Hz refresh rate. By leveraging the DP 1.4 standard, it ensures that your LED video wall receives uncompressed, high-fidelity signals necessary for professional-grade visual storytelling.

This input card is optimized for modern workflows, offering full compatibility with High Dynamic Range (HDR) content and Deep Color depth. Whether you are driving a fine-pitch SMD display or a high-durability GOB screen, the MX_2XDP1.4 ensures that the source signal maintains its integrity from the media server to the final pixel. Its hot-swappable architecture allows for seamless integration and maintenance, making it a reliable choice for mission-critical visual infrastructures.

Professional Signal Integrity for High-Resolution LED Walls

In the world of high-end LED displays, the quality of the input signal is as critical as the LED lamps themselves. The MX_2XDP1.4 Input Card bridges the gap between high-performance workstations and the LED processor. By utilizing the DisplayPort 1.4 protocol, it provides the necessary bandwidth to maintain high refresh rates without sacrificing color accuracy or bit depth.

Optimizing Visual Performance

• High Refresh Rate & Low Latency: Delivering 60Hz at 4K resolution ensures fluid motion, which is vital for live broadcasts and prevents flickering or ghosting on high-density SMD panels.
• HDR and Contrast Ratio: Supporting HDR10 and HLG, this card allows your LED wall to reach its maximum peak brightness (nits) and achieve a superior contrast ratio, revealing details in both shadows and highlights.
• Signal Stability: Unlike HDMI, DisplayPort 1.4 features a locking connector and robust EMI shielding, ensuring a stable link between the media server and the Novastar COEX controller.

For integrators choosing between SMD (Surface Mounted Device) and GOB (Glue on Board) technologies, this card provides the signal purity needed to highlight the seamless black levels and wide viewing angles inherent in modern LED modules.

Versatile Integration for Professional Environments

The MX_2XDP1.4 is a versatile solution for diverse high-end display applications:

• Broadcast and Post-Production: Essential for studios requiring precise color grading and high-fidelity video monitoring on large-scale LED walls.
• Corporate Command Centers: Enables high-resolution data visualization and multi-source monitoring with zero-frame delay, critical for 24/7 control room operations.
• XR and Virtual Production: Provides the high bandwidth and HDR support necessary for Unreal Engine or Notch-based workflows in virtual studios.
• Premium Retail & Flagship Stores: Drives large-format digital signage with stunning 4K clarity, ensuring that brand content looks vibrant even in high-ambient-light environments.
• Live Events and Concerts: Seamlessly integrates with professional media servers (like Disguise or Green Hippo) to deliver immersive visual experiences on massive festival stages.

Technical Optimization and Maintenance

To maximize the performance of the MX_2XDP1.4 Input Card, follow these professional guidelines:

• Cable Selection: Always use VESA-certified DisplayPort 1.4 cables. Substandard cables can lead to signal dropouts, limited refresh rates, or failure to handshake with the controller.
• Viewing Distance and Resolution: For narrow pixel pitch (NPP) displays, ensure your content matches the native resolution of the screen to avoid scaling artifacts. The 4K capability of this card is ideal for displays with a pitch under 1.5mm.
• Controller Settings: Within the Novastar V-Can or COEX control software, verify that the bit depth (8-bit, 10-bit, or 12-bit) matches your source output to fully utilize the card’s HDR capabilities.
• Hot-Swapping: While the card is hot-swappable, always ensure the retaining screws are tightened to prevent vibration-induced signal loss, especially in touring or mobile event setups.
