NovaStar VX1000 all-in-one LED video controller
The NovaStar VX1000 combines video processing and LED display control, with ten Gigabit Ethernet LED outputs and a published 2D loading capacity of 6.5 million pixels. It offers three adjustable layers, up to ten presets and video-controller, fiber-converter and Bypass working modes. The available processing and port roles depend on the selected mode.
This page references NovaStar’s VX1000 All-in-One Controller Specifications V1.0.1 and User Manual V1.0.1. Check the exact hardware and firmware against those documents before configuring a screen or replacing another controller.

VX1000 specifications and input formats

| 3G-SDI input | Up to 1920 × 1080 at 60 Hz; deinterlacing supported |
| Power | 100–240 V AC, 1.5 A, 50/60 Hz; rated consumption 28 W |
| Operating environment | −10 to 60 °C (14–140 °F); 20–90% RH, non-condensing |
| Dimensions and net weight | 483.6 × 351.2 × 50.1 mm (19.04 × 13.83 × 1.97 in); 4 kg (8.82 lb) |
Input timing and LED output capacity are different limits. V1.0.1 lists 8-bit RGB 4:4:4, YCbCr 4:4:4 and YCbCr 4:2:2 for HDMI/DVI/OPT 1, while excluding YCbCr 4:2:0 and 10/12-bit formats. Check the source format, receiving cards, frame rate and complete port map together.
Choose the mode before planning layers or fiber
In video-controller mode, OPT 1 can receive a video-processor source or send data to a fiber converter, according to the connected equipment. OPT 2 provides output copy or backup operation. In Fiber Converter mode, the manual instead describes both optical ports as inputs, with OPT 1 taking priority. Confirm the mode before assigning either port a fixed role.
Normal layer control provides a main picture plus PIP 1 and PIP 2. A mosaic input can only serve the main layer; when it is selected there, both PIP layers are unavailable. Bypass mode also uses only the main layer and disables video processing, so it does not preserve a three-layer composition.
The HDMI 1.3 output is fixed at 1920 × 1080 at 60 Hz for monitoring in video-controller mode. The manual warns that manually changing its output resolution can affect the LED Ethernet image. Review the intended monitor/video-output workflow before changing that setting.

Low latency, synchronization, 3D and audio
Latency figures require their stated configuration. The specification gives 20 lines from input to receiving card with low latency and Bypass enabled. Manual section 5.8.7 separately describes as low as one frame with low latency, synchronization and vertical screen data flow. Confirm the applicable mode and firmware; neither figure guarantees end-to-end system latency.
3D operation requires an EMT200 emitter and matched glasses. Manual section 5.8.8 states that enabling 3D halves device output capacity: do not plan a 3D wall using the full 6.5-million-pixel 2D figure. For HDMI audio decoding through a multifunction card, use LED Ethernet port 1 or 2.
NovaStar VX1000 selection questions
Can one VX1000 drive a native 3840 × 2160 LED wall?
No. That canvas contains 8,294,400 pixels, above the nominal 6.5-million-pixel 2D limit. A supported input format or optical connection does not increase the output pixel budget.
Can its USB ports play files from a USB drive?
V1.0.1 identifies Type-B USB for PC communication and cascade input, and Type-A for cascade output. It does not list USB-drive media playback. Include a suitable playback source in the system plan.
Is VX1000 the same as VX1000 Pro?
No. Treat VX1000 Pro as a different model. Compare exact input formats, layer resources, receiving cards, optical topology and software/firmware requirements before replacing a unit.
