Novastar VX1000 – All-in-One 6.5M Pixel LED Video Wall Controller
Product Overview
The NovaStar VX1000 is a professional all-in-one LED video wall controller that integrates video processing and video control into a single 1U rack-mount unit. Designed for medium and high-end rental staging, live events, and fine-pitch LED screen installations, the VX1000 drives up to 6.5 million pixels across 10 Gigabit Ethernet output ports. Its support for 4K×1K@60Hz input processing and up to four cascaded units for image mosaic makes it a capable choice for large-format LED video wall deployments where reliability and image fidelity are critical.
Product Description
The NovaStar VX1000 all-in-one video processor handles both signal management and LED display control without requiring a separate sending card device. It accepts HDMI 1.4, DVI, and 3G-SDI input signals, plus a self-adaptive 10G optical fiber port (OPT1) that functions as either a video input or a fiber output depending on the connected device. A second optical fiber port (OPT2) provides copy or backup output across all 10 Ethernet ports, supporting hot backup configurations between devices, Ethernet ports, and input sources.
The VX1000 operates in three modes — Video Controller, Fiber Converter, and Bypass — giving integrators flexibility across a wide range of LED video wall system architectures. Its SuperView III image processing engine delivers stepless output scaling, free input cropping, and one-click full-screen display. Three independently positionable and prioritized layers (main plus two PIP layers) support complex content layouts for rental LED display controller setups. Up to 10 user-defined presets can be stored and recalled instantly from the front panel, which is particularly useful in live event environments where scene transitions must be fast and repeatable.
NovaStar's NovaLCT and V-Can software platforms are fully supported, enabling screen configuration, Ethernet port backup management, layer and preset management, and firmware updates from a connected control PC. The VX1000 also supports pixel-level brightness and chroma calibration in conjunction with NovaStar's calibration software, helping maintain color uniformity across large LED arrays.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many pixels can the VX1000 drive from a single unit?
A single VX1000 unit drives up to 6.5 million pixels across its 10 Gigabit Ethernet output ports. The maximum output canvas is 10,240 pixels wide by 8,192 pixels tall. Each Ethernet port can load up to 650,000 pixels.
Q: What video input sources does the VX1000 accept?
The VX1000 accepts HDMI 1.4 (two ports, one with loop output), DVI (two ports, one with loop output), 3G-SDI (one port with loop output supporting ST-424, ST-292, and ST-259 standards), and a 10G optical fiber port (OPT1) that self-adapts as either an input or output. Maximum input resolution via HDMI/DVI is 3840×1080@60Hz standard or 4092×1136@60Hz custom.
Q: Which NovaStar receiver cards are compatible with the VX1000?
The VX1000 is compatible with NovaStar's range of Gigabit Ethernet receiver cards (A8s, A10s Plus, and similar) connected via the 10 Ethernet output ports. For audio distribution, receiver cards must be connected to Ethernet ports 1 or 2 via a multifunction card. Consult NovaStar's compatibility documentation or contact Creation Networks for specific card recommendations for your cabinet type.
Q: Does the VX1000 support redundancy and hot backup?
Yes. The VX1000 supports hot backup between devices (device-level redundancy), between individual Ethernet ports, and between input sources. The OPT2 fiber port can operate in backup mode to mirror the 10 Ethernet port outputs over fiber. These features make it suitable for live events and rental staging where display continuity is critical.
Q: How is the VX1000 configured and managed?
The VX1000 is managed via NovaStar's NovaLCT software (screen configuration, calibration, firmware updates, Ethernet port backup) and V-Can video control software (layer management, preset recall, live source switching). The device also has a front-panel LCD screen, rotary knob, and dedicated buttons for direct on-device control without a connected PC.
Q: Can multiple VX1000 units be combined for larger displays?
Yes. Up to four VX1000 units can be cascaded for image mosaic, allowing the combined pixel capacity to reach up to 26 million pixels across a single display array. Output synchronization via Genlock (bi-level or tri-level) ensures all units remain frame-synchronized.
Q: What are the three working modes on the VX1000?
The VX1000 operates in Video Controller mode (full video processing and LED display control), Fiber Converter mode (fiber signal distribution), and Bypass mode (direct pass-through with minimal processing for ultra-low latency — as low as 20 lines of delay from input to receiving card).
