Novastar NovaPro UHD Jr – 16-Port 10.4M Pixel LED Video Wall Contro...
Product Overview
The Novastar NovaPro UHD Jr is a professional LED video wall controller designed for high-density pixel installations in rental staging, live events, broadcast studios, and fine-pitch LED display deployments. It combines video processing, sending card functions, and LED screen configuration in a single 2U chassis, supporting ultra HD 4K×2K@60Hz input and loading up to 10.4 million pixels across 16 Neutrik Gigabit Ethernet output ports. With native 12G-SDI, HDMI 2.0, and DP 1.2 inputs, it integrates cleanly into broadcast-grade signal chains and large-format digital signage installations. For deployments requiring additional output capacity, up to four NovaPro UHD Jr units can be cascaded for super-large screen configurations.
Product Description
The NovaPro UHD Jr addresses the requirements of AV integrators and event production teams who need a controller capable of driving large-format LED video walls without external processing hardware. Its 16 Neutrik Ethernet outputs — with 4 additional 10G optical fiber ports for copy or hot-backup — give system designers the flexibility to configure redundant signal paths without adding separate distribution equipment. The device supports two working modes: video controller and fiber converter, making it adaptable to fixed installation and touring applications alike.
Input options cover the full range of professional signal standards: 1× HDMI 2.0 (up to 3840×2160@60Hz), 1× DP 1.2, 4× DVI (single-link or dual-link mosaic), and 2× 12G-SDI with loop output. The 12G-SDI inputs accept ST-2082-1 (12G), ST-2081-1 (6G), ST-424 (3G), and ST-292 (HD) formats, making the NovaPro UHD Jr compatible with existing broadcast infrastructure. The HDMI 2.0 input supports HDCP 2.2, and the DP 1.2 input supports HDCP 1.3 for secure signal delivery. Output monitoring is handled by a dedicated HDMI port at up to 1920×1080@60Hz.
Image processing features include 3 display layers (1 main layer + 2 PIPs with adjustable priority), OSD overlay, HDR output, free topology screen configuration, and pixel-level brightness and chroma calibration when paired with NovaLCT. Up to 10 user-defined presets can be saved and recalled. Control is available via front panel, V-Can software, NovaLCT, RS232, and a dedicated control Ethernet port for web-based management.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many pixels can the NovaPro UHD Jr drive from a single unit?
The NovaPro UHD Jr loads up to 10,400,000 pixels across its 16 Neutrik Gigabit Ethernet output ports. Each port carries a maximum of 650,000 pixels at 8-bit color depth, or 320,000 pixels at 10/12-bit. The maximum output canvas is 16,384 pixels wide by 8,192 pixels tall.
Q: Can multiple NovaPro UHD Jr units be combined for larger screens?
Yes. Up to four NovaPro UHD Jr units can be cascaded via USB and used with a video distributor to drive super-large LED screens that exceed a single unit's 10.4 million pixel capacity. An external GENLOCK signal keeps all cascaded units synchronized.
Q: Which input signal formats are supported?
The NovaPro UHD Jr accepts 1× HDMI 2.0 (up to 3840×2160@60Hz), 1× DP 1.2 (up to 3840×2160@60Hz), 4× DVI (single-link or dual-link mosaic, up to 3840×1080@60Hz in dual-link), and 2× 12G-SDI (supporting 12G, 6G, 3G, and HD-SDI standards up to 4096×2160@60Hz). The HDMI and DP inputs support HDCP 2.2 and 1.3 respectively.
Q: Which NovaStar receiving cards are compatible?
The NovaPro UHD Jr is compatible with NovaStar's MRV series and Armor series receiving cards. Low-latency mode (2-frame delay from sending to receiving card) requires Armor series cards: A8, A8s, A9s, or A10s Plus. For free topology configurations, specific receiving cards that support the free topology function are required — contact NovaStar or Creation Networks for compatibility guidance.
Q: What redundancy and backup options are available?
The four 10G optical fiber ports support both copy and hot-backup modes. OPT 1 and OPT 2 transmit data from Ethernet ports 1–8 and 9–16 respectively, while OPT 3 and OPT 4 serve as copy or hot-backup paths for OPT 1 and OPT 2. Additionally, the device supports input source hot backup, Ethernet port backup testing (without disconnecting cables), and data saving after power failure.
Q: What software is used to configure and control the NovaPro UHD Jr?
Primary configuration is performed in NovaLCT (NovaStar's LED Configuration Tool), which handles receiving card setup, pixel mapping, brightness and chroma calibration, and firmware updates. V-Can (NovaStar's smart control software) is used for live event operation, preset management, and layer control. Web-based control is also available via the dedicated Ethernet control port. Third-party control systems (AMX, Crestron, Q-SYS) can integrate via RS232.
Q: What are the HDR output requirements?
HDR output on the NovaPro UHD Jr requires compatible NovaStar receiving cards installed in the LED cabinets. When enabled, HDR enhances display image quality for improved brightness range and color accuracy. Note that enabling 3D mode halves the device output pixel capacity.
Q: What warranty and support does Creation Networks provide?
Creation Networks provides pre-sales technical consultation and post-sales support for the NovaPro UHD Jr. NovaStar offers 24/7 technical support through their global service portal. For warranty terms, system sizing assistance, or receiver card compatibility questions, contact Creation Networks directly.
