Huidu HD-MS4000 specifications and output limits
The three resolution figures below describe different tasks. A source-file decoding limit does not describe the physical output resolution, and a combined canvas limit does not mean that one connector carries the entire canvas.
| Item | Published specification | Project planning note |
|---|---|---|
| Combined output canvas | Up to 8192 × 4320 | Plan the canvas across the required outputs and downstream equipment. |
| Video output standard | DP 1.4; 4K@60Hz support | Check connector type, adapters, and receiving equipment. |
| Single video source | Up to 16384 × 16384 | This is a source-media limit, not a 16K physical output claim. |
| Video decoding | 10-bit decoding and playback; hardware decoding support | Validate the actual codec, bitrate, frame rate, and simultaneous layers. |
| Program switching | Published response below 50 ms | This is not a guarantee of end-to-end system latency. |
| Rack format | 4U in the linked V1.3 specification | Confirm the supplied chassis and rack requirements. |

Layered playback and creative LED screen mapping
HD-MS4000 combines media playback with composition tools for nonstandard screen layouts. Operators can segment and reorganize images, adjust geometry, and rotate content to match displays with different shapes and angles.
- Mixed media: arrange video, audio, pictures, PowerPoint, text, and captured-screen content in a program.
- Layer editing: adjust position, scale, crop, opacity, rotation, brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, feathering, volume, and vertex coordinates.
- Scene preparation: edit, preview, switch, save, and copy scenes; use screen freeze and base-map display when operating a show.
- Visual effects: apply supported effects such as borders, Gaussian blur, color wheels, and marquees.
- Interactive content: use network pictures, Spout integration, and compatible NDI sources for networked or interactive playback.
The software allows flexible layer creation. The usable layer count still depends on the media workload and server configuration. Test the intended combination of source resolution, codec, effects, and simultaneous playback before committing to a show design.
Show control, synchronization, and system integration
With HD Show C-series broadcast control software, the Huidu HD-MS4000 supports timeline operation and timecode synchronization. Preset instructions can coordinate playback, scheduled startup and shutdown, and peripheral control.
| Function | Supported workflow | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Network media | NDI send/receive on the LAN and Spout integration | Source compatibility, network design, and the actual software version. |
| External control | TCP/UDP, DMX512, MTC/LTC, MIDI timecode, sensor input, and network relay workflows | Required direction, physical interfaces, adapters, and control mapping. |
| Lighting coordination | DMX lighting-program recording to a .DMX project file | Console compatibility and rehearsal of playback and lighting cues. |
| Mobile operation | Centralized equipment control, screen feedback, and scene switching | Supported control app and local network access. |
| Backup | Multi-machine master/slave backup with synchronized output | Additional server hardware, output routing, and recovery procedure. |
NDI is a network-video workflow; it does not replace the downstream LED sending and receiving system. Match the server outputs to the input capabilities of your LED video processor or controller. Check the LED sending-card options when planning the complete signal path.
Monitoring and operation for stages and exhibition halls
The server supports monitoring of video frame rate, audio/video delay, and screen status. Local performance monitoring covers CPU, memory, GPU, and video memory, with automatic server work logs and abnormal-state notifications.
Additional functions include EDID signal locking, user management, a lock-screen password, project-material encryption, and dongle-based authorization. Verify how licensing and project access will be managed by the operators who maintain the installation.
- Stage productions: prepare timed visual sequences and coordinate compatible sound and lighting cues.
- Exhibition halls: organize scenes and scheduled playback for repeated daily presentations.
- Creative multimedia displays: map content to segmented or rotated screens and incorporate supported interactive sources.

Frequently asked questions
Is HD-MS4000 the same model as HD-MS4000 Pro?
No. HD-MS4000 and HD-MS4000 Pro are separate model names. Confirm the exact model and hardware revision on your quotation. Do not transfer Pro specifications to this product without checking the supplied configuration.
Does the 16384 × 16384 figure mean 16K output?
No. That figure refers to the supported resolution of a single video source. The published combined output limit for this product is 8192 × 4320; the DP 1.4 output specification also lists 4K@60Hz support.
Which software is used with Huidu HD-MS4000?
The server uses HD Show C-series broadcast control software. The linked V1.3 document lists HD Show C2. Ask for confirmation of the supplied edition, dongle authorization, and enabled functions before ordering.
Can this multimedia server connect directly to LED receiving cards?
Plan a compatible LED controller or sending system between the server’s video output and the receiving cards. Share your existing controller model and signal layout so the required processor, adapters, and output mapping can be checked.
Are capture hardware and a backup server included?
Feature support alone does not establish what is included in an order. Confirm capture hardware, cables, adapters, software authorization, and any additional backup server on the itemized quotation.
Confirm your HD-MS4000 configuration
Send your total LED canvas resolution, output count, required frame rate, content formats, simultaneous layers, controller model, control protocols, backup needs, and shipping destination. These details help check whether the Huidu HD-MS4000 fits the system you intend to build.
