MX_2XHDMI 2.1 INPUT CARD | Carte d'Entrée Dual HDMI 2.1 Novastar | 8K Ultra HD

The MX_2XHDMI 2.1 Input Card is a cutting-edge expansion module designed for high-end Novastar modular controllers, such as the MX6000 Pro. Engineered for professionals who demand the absolute peak of visual performance, this dual-port card brings the power of HDMI 2.1 to your LED display infrastructure. By supporting a massive 48 Gbps bandwidth per port, it enables seamless handling of Ultra-High Definition (UHD) content, ensuring your LED wall displays every pixel with breathtaking clarity.

This card is specifically developed to overcome the limitations of traditional video processing. With support for 4K at 120Hz and 8K resolutions through mosaic splicing, it provides the necessary throughput for high-bit-depth content and HDR. Whether you are managing a massive fine-pitch LED display in a corporate lobby or a high-refresh-rate broadcast studio, this input card ensures your signal chain remains future-proof, robust, and capable of delivering cinema-grade imagery.

Advanced Video Processing and Signal Integrity

In the world of high-end LED integration, the quality of the input signal is as critical as the LED diode itself. The MX_2XHDMI 2.1 Input Card leverages the full potential of HDMI 2.1 architecture, offering significant advantages for modern SMD and GOB technology displays. While standard cards struggle with high data rates, this module maintains signal integrity for deep color depths and complex metadata.

High Refresh Rate and Low Latency

For demanding applications like virtual production (xR) or live sports, a high refresh rate is mandatory to eliminate flickering and motion blur. This card supports VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) and ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode), technologies that synchronize the source frame rate with the LED controller's processing. This is particularly effective when paired with GOB (Glue on Board) modules that require high-contrast, fluid visuals for close-up viewing.

• 8K Splicing: Combine both inputs to achieve 8K resolution, perfect for ultra-fine pitch displays.
• HDR Support: Full compatibility with HDR10 and HLG for expanded dynamic range.
• Hot-Swappable Design: Modular architecture allows for maintenance without powering down the entire chassis, ensuring 24/7 reliability.

Versatile Applications for Professional Displays

The MX_2XHDMI 2.1 Input Card is the preferred choice for environments where image compromise is not an option:

• Virtual Production & xR Studios: Essential for rendering real-time backgrounds at 120Hz, providing the low latency required for camera tracking and high-speed motion.
• Command and Control Centers: Perfect for displaying massive amounts of data and 8K maps across large-scale, fine-pitch LED walls with zero lag.
• High-End Retail & Flagship Stores: Drives large format screens with vibrant, high-contrast HDR content to capture consumer attention.
• Sports Arenas & Gaming Events: Delivers ultra-smooth motion for fast-paced action, ensuring spectators experience every detail without motion artifacts.
• Corporate Auditoriums: Facilitates seamless switching and ultra-high resolution for executive presentations and large-scale video conferencing.

Technical Integration and Optimization

To maximize the performance of your MX_2XHDMI 2.1 Input Card, consider the following technical recommendations:

• Cable Quality: Always use certified Ultra High Speed HDMI cables (HDMI 2.1) to maintain the 48 Gbps bandwidth. Inferior cables may cause signal dropouts or limit the refresh rate to 60Hz.
• Viewing Distance & Resolution: When configuring 8K mosaic setups, ensure your pixel pitch is calculated against the optimal viewing distance to take full advantage of the increased pixel density.
• Controller Sync: Ensure your Novastar MX-series mainframe is running the latest firmware to support VRR features, especially in xR environments where camera shutter synchronization is vital.
• Power Management: The card is hot-swappable; however, always verify the locking mechanism is engaged to ensure stable power delivery and data transmission across the backplane.
