Novastar VX400 – 6-Port 2.9M Pixel LED Video Wall Controller
Product Overview
The Novastar VX400 is an all-in-one LED video wall controller designed for small-to-mid LED display installations in rental staging, live events, and permanent fine-pitch LED screen deployments. It drives up to 2.9 million pixels across 6 Gigabit Ethernet output ports and accepts HDMI 2.0, HDMI 1.4, DisplayPort 1.1, and 3G-SDI input signals from a single compact unit. As a standalone all-in-one video processor, the VX400 eliminates the need for a separate sending card, reducing rack space and simplifying signal routing for integrators and event technicians. It is well-suited for medium-scale LED video walls where reliable signal management and precise pixel-level calibration are required.
Product Description
The Novastar VX400 all-in-one video processor consolidates video input switching, processing, and LED screen output into a single 1U rackmount chassis. With a maximum pixel load of 2.9 million pixels and output dimensions up to 10,240 pixels wide by 8,192 pixels high, it handles a wide range of LED panel configurations without requiring additional hardware. The six Gigabit Ethernet output ports provide flexible cabinet mapping for complex multi-cabinet video wall layouts common in rental staging and fixed installations.
Signal input options cover the most common digital signage and broadcast sources: HDMI 2.0 for 4K content delivery, HDMI 1.4 for standard HD sources, DisplayPort 1.1 for workstation and PC-based playback, and 3G-SDI for broadcast-grade video feeds. The VX400 supports three operating modes — video control, fiber conversion, and bypass — giving installers flexibility across different system architectures. Stepless output scaling, low-latency processing, and pixel-level brightness and chroma calibration are included, allowing accurate image reproduction across LED panels from different manufacturing batches. Configuration and monitoring are handled through Novastar's NovaLCT software.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the maximum pixel load the VX400 can drive?
The VX400 supports a maximum pixel load of 2.9 million pixels, with output dimensions up to 10,240 pixels wide and 8,192 pixels high. This makes it suitable for small-to-mid LED video wall configurations across 6 Gigabit Ethernet output ports.
Q: What video input sources does the VX400 support?
The VX400 accepts four input types: HDMI 2.0 (for 4K sources), HDMI 1.4 (standard HD), DisplayPort 1.1 (PC and workstation sources), and 3G-SDI (broadcast-grade video). This covers the most common signal types used in rental staging and permanent AV installations.
Q: Which Novastar receiver cards are compatible with the VX400?
The VX400 is compatible with Novastar's standard range of receiving cards, including the A8s, A5s, A4s, and other cards that support Gigabit Ethernet input. Receiver card selection depends on the specific LED panel pitch and cabinet design. Consult the VX400 specifications sheet or contact Novastar support for a full compatibility matrix.
Q: Does the VX400 require NovaLCT software for operation?
Yes, the VX400 is configured and monitored using Novastar's NovaLCT software, which is available as a free download from Novastar's support portal. NovaLCT handles screen layout configuration, brightness and chroma calibration, firmware updates, and real-time display monitoring.
Q: Does the VX400 support backup or redundancy configurations?
The VX400 includes a bypass mode that allows the signal path to pass through without active processing, which can be used in certain redundancy architectures. For full hot-standby redundancy, a second VX400 unit would need to be integrated at the system level. Consult the VX400 user manual for supported backup configurations.
Q: What operating modes does the VX400 support?
The VX400 operates in three modes: video control mode (standard all-in-one controller operation), fiber conversion mode (for extending signals over fiber infrastructure), and bypass mode (for pass-through signal routing without active processing). Mode selection depends on the overall system architecture.
Q: Is the VX400 suitable for fine-pitch LED screen installations?
Yes. The VX400 is specifically listed by Novastar as suitable for fine-pitch LED screens as well as medium and high-end rental and stage control systems. Its pixel-level brightness and chroma calibration features are particularly useful for fine-pitch panels where uniformity across cabinets is critical.
Q: What warranty does the Novastar VX400 carry?
The Novastar VX400 is covered by a standard Novastar manufacturer warranty. Creation Networks recommends confirming current warranty terms at the time of purchase. Contact our team for pre-sales support, warranty questions, or assistance with system design.
