MX SERIES 1X DP1.4 INPUT CARD | Carte d'Entrée 8K @ 60Hz Novastar MX | Single Link

The Novastar MX Series 1x DisplayPort 1.4 Input Card is a professional-grade expansion module designed for the MX2000 Pro and MX6000 Pro modular controllers. Engineered for ultra-high-definition environments, this card enables the integration of 8K video sources at a 60Hz refresh rate through a single-link connection. By utilizing the robust bandwidth of DisplayPort 1.4, it eliminates the complexity of quad-link mosaic setups, ensuring a cleaner signal path and simplified cabling. Designed for performance-critical applications, it supports High Dynamic Range (HDR) and deep color processing, delivering exceptional contrast ratios and color accuracy. As a hot-swappable component, it offers maximum flexibility for mission-critical LED display systems where uptime and high-fidelity visual data are paramount.

Advanced Signal Processing for 8K LED Systems

In the evolving landscape of LED technology, the shift from traditional SMD (Surface Mounted Device) setups to ultra-fine pixel pitch GOB (Glue on Board) and COB (Chip on Board) displays demands higher input bandwidth. The MX Series DP 1.4 Input Card addresses this by providing a massive 32.4 Gbps throughput, allowing for native 8K resolution without the artifacts associated with signal compression.

Unmatched Refresh Rates and Bit Depth

Maintaining a high refresh rate is critical for avoiding flicker and ensuring smooth motion in high-end visuals. This card supports 8K@60Hz and 4K@120Hz, making it the perfect match for LED walls requiring fluid motion and low latency. The support for 10-bit and 12-bit color depths ensures that the grayscale performance of your LED tiles is fully utilized, preventing color banding and enhancing the overall contrast ratio.

• Single Link Efficiency: Accomplish 7680x4320 resolution via one DP 1.4 cable, reducing synchronization issues common in multi-link setups.
• HDR Compatibility: Supports HDR10 and HLG standards to maximize the peak brightness and dynamic range of your LED cabinets.
• Pro Ecosystem: Designed specifically for the Novastar COEX series, ensuring seamless communication between the source and the LED receiving cards.

Versatile High-Resolution Applications

The MX Series 1x DP 1.4 Input Card is the backbone for installations where visual precision is non-negotiable. Its ability to handle massive data loads makes it ideal for several key scenarios:

• Control Rooms & Command Centers: Perfect for displaying complex data visualizations and high-density maps across large-scale indoor LED screens.
• Broadcast & Virtual Production: Provides the low-latency 8K input necessary for XR stages and film backdrops where camera-sync and high refresh rates are vital.
• Corporate Lobby Displays: Enables stunning 8K architectural visuals that require the deep contrast and wide viewing angles of premium LED technology.
• Simulation & Training: High-frame-rate support (4K@120Hz) allows for realistic motion in flight simulators and automotive design reviews.

Technical Integration & Best Practices

To achieve the best performance from your MX Series DP 1.4 Input Card, consider the following technical guidelines:

• Cable Quality: Always use VESA-certified DisplayPort 1.4 cables. For distances exceeding 5 meters, active optical cables (AOC) are recommended to maintain signal integrity at 8K resolutions.
• Controller Configuration: Ensure your MX Pro chassis firmware is up to date. The VMP (Vision Management Platform) software will automatically detect the module, but manual EDID configuration may be required for non-standard custom resolutions.
• Power Management: As a hot-swappable module, it can be installed while the processor is powered; however, ensure the locking screws are tightened to maintain a solid ground connection and prevent signal noise.
• Thermal Efficiency: Monitor the chassis temperature via the VMP software to ensure the high-bandwidth processing doesn't lead to thermal throttling in tight rack environments.
