The NovaStar A7s receiving card is a compact LED cabinet control card that loads up to 512 × 256 pixels with PWM driver ICs or 384 × 256 pixels with common driver ICs. This listing is for the A7s; confirm the exact model on your existing card before ordering.
It supports up to 32 parallel RGB data groups or 64 serial data groups, expandable to 128 serial groups. Check the hub board, module driver IC, scan mode, and firmware together when planning a replacement.
Key features for LED cabinet control
- Image adjustment: quick correction of dark or bright cabinet seams and image rotation in 90° increments.
- Module maintenance: automatic module calibration and module Flash management for compatible modules.
- Cabinet identification: Mapping helps locate receiving cards within the display.
- Status checks: monitoring of card voltage, temperature and Ethernet communication.
- Display options: a pre-stored image and support for a compatible cabinet LCD module.
- System-dependent functions: 3D requires a compatible controller; LVDS transmission and smart-module operation require dedicated firmware.

Check compatibility before replacing an A7s
Before ordering a replacement, collect the following details for an EagerLED compatibility check:
- Identify the installed card: photograph its model label and the hub board on both sides.
- Record the cabinet configuration: provide cabinet pixel width and height, module driver IC, scan mode and wiring photos.
- Check the complete control system: include the sending controller model, firmware version, power input and available mounting space.
- Keep a recovery copy: save the working receiving-card configuration before changing hardware. Have the replacement configuration checked before applying it across the display.
LVDS transmission and smart-module functions require dedicated firmware. The 3D function also depends on a compatible controller. Treat these as system requirements rather than features that become available simply by replacing the receiving card.
A7s selection questions
Can every A7s installation use 512 × 256 pixels?
No. That maximum applies to PWM driver ICs; the listed limit for common driver ICs is 384 × 256 pixels. Match the driver IC, scan mode, data wiring and firmware to the cabinet before selecting the load.
Is this the same card as an A7s Plus?
No. A7s and A7s Plus are different model names. Do not apply another model’s loading capacity to this listing or assume the configuration file is interchangeable. Match the model marking and review the existing system before buying.
Does the A7s play videos by itself?
No. It is a receiving card within an LED display control system. Your sending controller, hub board, and LED modules must be configured as a complete system.
What should I check besides maximum loading capacity?
Check the hub-board connector and pin assignment, module scan settings, driver IC, power input, mounting space, and firmware. Retain a backup of the working configuration before changing hardware.
Request the correct A7s card for your cabinet
Ask for an A7s compatibility and availability check with your required quantity and cabinet details. Compare the receiving card range or browse NovaStar products when discussing a replacement.
