Novastar VX600 – All-in-One 3.9M Pixel LED Video Wall Controller
Product Overview
The NovaStar VX600 is a professional all-in-one LED video wall controller that consolidates video processing and display control into a single 1U rack-mount device. Supporting up to 3.9 million pixels across 6 Gigabit Ethernet output ports, the VX600 is suited for medium-scale rental LED displays, stage control systems, and fine-pitch indoor LED screen installations. It accepts HDMI, DVI, 3G-SDI, and 10G fiber inputs while supporting three working modes and multiple hot backup configurations for reliable operation in live event environments.
Product Description
The NovaStar VX600 all-in-one video processor eliminates the need for a separate sending card by combining signal processing and LED display control in one unit. It features 6 Gigabit Ethernet output ports capable of distributing up to 3.9 million pixels to connected LED cabinets, with a maximum canvas of 10,240 pixels wide by 8,192 pixels tall. Input connectivity includes HDMI 1.3 (two ports, one with loop output), DVI (one port with loop output), 3G-SDI (one port with loop output), and a self-adaptive 10G optical fiber port (OPT1) that functions as either an input or output depending on the connected device.
The VX600 supports three operating modes: Video Controller for full video processing and display management, Fiber Converter for fiber-based signal distribution, and Bypass mode for minimal-latency pass-through with a delay as low as 20 lines from input to receiving card. Multiple hot backup configurations are available, including backup between devices, between Ethernet ports, and between input sources, providing redundancy appropriate for rental staging and live event LED display controller applications.
NovaStar's SuperView III image processing engine powers stepless output scaling, free input cropping, and one-click full-screen display. Three independently manageable layers (one main plus two PIP layers) allow multi-source content layouts. Up to 10 user-defined presets can be stored and recalled instantly from the front panel. The VX600 integrates fully with NovaStar's NovaLCT and V-Can software for screen configuration, preset and layer management, Ethernet port backup setup, pixel-level calibration, and firmware updates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many pixels can the VX600 drive from a single unit?
A single VX600 unit drives up to 3.9 million pixels across its 6 Gigabit Ethernet output ports. The maximum output canvas is 10,240 pixels wide by 8,192 pixels tall. Each Ethernet port supports up to 650,000 pixels.
Q: What video input sources does the VX600 accept?
The VX600 accepts HDMI 1.3 (two ports, one with loop output; max 1920×1200@60Hz), DVI (one port with loop output; max 1920×1200@60Hz), 3G-SDI (one port with loop output; max 1920×1080@60Hz supporting ST-424, ST-292, and ST-259 standards), and a self-adaptive 10G optical fiber port (OPT1). Custom resolutions up to 3840×648@60Hz are supported on HDMI and DVI inputs.
Q: Which NovaStar receiver cards are compatible with the VX600?
The VX600 works with NovaStar's Gigabit Ethernet receiver cards connected via its 6 Ethernet output ports. Audio output requires a multifunction card connected to Ethernet port 1 or 2. Contact Creation Networks with your cabinet specifications for receiver card compatibility guidance.
Q: Does the VX600 support hot backup and redundancy?
Yes. The VX600 supports hot backup between devices, between Ethernet ports, and between input sources. The OPT2 fiber port also operates in copy or backup mode to mirror the 6 Ethernet port outputs over fiber, providing an additional redundancy path for mission-critical LED display deployments.
Q: How is the VX600 configured and managed?
The VX600 is managed via NovaStar's NovaLCT software for screen configuration, calibration, Ethernet port backup, and firmware updates, and V-Can for live layer management, source switching, and preset recall. The front panel provides direct access via an LCD screen, rotary knob, and dedicated shortcut buttons for on-site control without a PC.
Q: Can multiple VX600 units be used together for larger displays?
Yes. Up to four VX600 units can be cascaded for image mosaic, multiplying the total pixel capacity for larger LED screen installations. Genlock synchronization (bi-level or tri-level) keeps all units frame-aligned.
Q: What is the difference between the VX600 and VX1000?
The primary differences are pixel load capacity and Ethernet output port count. The VX600 drives up to 3.9 million pixels via 6 Ethernet ports and uses HDMI 1.3 inputs (max 1920×1200@60Hz). The VX1000 drives up to 6.5 million pixels via 10 Ethernet ports and uses HDMI 1.4 inputs (max 3840×1080@60Hz), also adding 3D display support. Both share the same physical form factor, power consumption, and software platform.
