Product Overview
The Novastar VX2000 Pro is a professional all-in-one LED video wall controller that integrates video processing, video control, and LED screen configuration in a single 2U device. Designed for medium to high-end rental, staged events, and fine-pitch LED display installations, the VX2000 Pro supports a maximum input resolution of 4K×2K@60Hz and drives up to 13 million pixels across 20 Gigabit Ethernet output ports. Its 12G-SDI, DP 1.2, dual HDMI 2.0, and four HDMI 1.3 inputs make it well-suited for broadcast-grade signal environments where multiple source types must be managed simultaneously. Controlled via front panel knob, Unico software, NovaLCT, or the VICP app, the VX2000 Pro delivers a centralized LED display control solution for large-scale digital signage and live event production.
Product Description
The VX2000 Pro is the top-tier model in NovaStar's VX Pro Series, offering the largest pixel load capacity and port count in the lineup. Its 20 Gigabit Ethernet output ports are complemented by four 10G optical fiber ports: OPT 1 and OPT 2 are self-adaptive for either video input or output, while OPT 3 and OPT 4 copy or back up the output of Ethernet ports 1–10 and 11–20 respectively. This architecture gives system designers a built-in redundancy path without requiring external backup devices.
On the input side, the VX2000 Pro accepts signals from all major professional video standards. The 12G-SDI input supports ST-2082 (12G), ST-2081 (6G), ST-424 (3G), and ST-292 (HD) with loop output, reaching up to 4096×2160@60Hz. Two HDMI 2.0 inputs support up to 4096×2160@60Hz with HDCP 1.4 and 2.2, and can be mosaicked to form a 4K×2K combined source. The DP 1.2 input also reaches 4096×2160@60Hz. Four HDMI 1.3 inputs handle 1920×1080@60Hz for secondary or auxiliary sources.
The VX2000 Pro supports 12 layers of 2K×1K resolution, which can be organized as 3×4K×2K, 6×4K×1K, or 12×2K×1K configurations depending on source input type. Up to 256 user-defined presets can be saved and recalled. Additional processing features include output scaling via SuperView III technology, OSD (text, image, weather, and time overlays), HDR10 and HLG output, 3D display support, pixel-level brightness and chroma calibration via NovaLCT, and low-latency operation down to 0 frames in ByPass mode. The device operates across three working modes: video controller, fiber converter, and ByPass, providing adaptability for both live production and fixed installation environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the VX2000 Pro's 13-million-pixel capacity scale across its output ports?
The VX2000 Pro distributes its 13-million-pixel load across 20 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Each port carries a maximum of 650,000 pixels at 8-bit color depth. At 10-bit color depth, capacity per port is reduced to either 325,000 or 480,000 pixels depending on the specific receiving card model. The total canvas supports a maximum width of 16,384 pixels and maximum height of 8,192 pixels.
Q: What input source formats does the VX2000 Pro support?
The VX2000 Pro accepts: 1× DP 1.2 (up to 4096×2160@60Hz), 2× HDMI 2.0 (up to 4096×2160@60Hz with HDCP 2.2), 4× HDMI 1.3 (up to 1920×1080@60Hz), 1× 12G-SDI (supporting 12G, 6G, 3G, HD, and SD-SDI standards up to 4096×2160@60Hz), and 1× USB 3.0 for media playback. All HDMI 2.0 and HDMI 1.3 inputs support frame rates up to 240Hz at compatible resolutions.
Q: Which NovaStar receiver cards are compatible with the VX2000 Pro?
The VX2000 Pro is compatible with NovaStar's MRV series and Armor series receiving cards. HDR10 and HLG output require receiving cards with HDR support. Free topology screen configuration requires specific compatible receiving cards. For exact compatibility by card model and firmware version, contact Creation Networks or NovaStar technical support.
Q: What redundancy options does the VX2000 Pro provide?
The VX2000 Pro supports comprehensive end-to-end backup: backup between controller devices, between input sources (input hot backup), between Ethernet output ports, between OPT and Ethernet ports, and dual receiving card backup. OPT 3 and OPT 4 copy or back up the output on Ethernet ports 1–10 and 11–20 respectively, providing optical redundancy without external switching equipment. Ethernet port backup can be tested live without disconnecting cables.
Q: What software does the VX2000 Pro use for configuration and live control?
Configuration is performed in NovaLCT (LED Configuration Tool) for receiving card setup, screen calibration, and firmware management. Live operation uses Unico, which supports Windows PC, macOS, and web browser clients. The VICP app provides mobile control for on-site adjustments. Front panel knob operation and an optional remote control are also available for preset switching, brightness adjustment, and input source selection without a PC.
Q: What is ByPass mode and when should it be used?
In ByPass mode, the VX2000 Pro acts as a direct fiber converter without performing video processing. This mode reduces latency to 0 frames (versus 1–2 frames in standard video controller mode) and is suited for applications where the video processing is handled upstream and the lowest possible signal delay is required. Note that ByPass mode and low-latency mode cannot be enabled simultaneously.
Q: How many presets can the VX2000 Pro store and how are they recalled?
The VX2000 Pro stores up to 256 user-defined presets. Each preset saves the complete layer layout, input source assignments, and display configuration. Presets can be saved, overwritten, deleted, and previewed on the LCD screen. They can be recalled with a single button press from the front panel, or via Unico and NovaLCT software. Preset switching transition effects are also configurable.
Q: What warranty and support is available for the VX2000 Pro?
