NovaStar DH7516-S receiving card with 16 HUB75E connectors
The NovaStar DH7516-S is an LED receiving card for cabinets using HUB75E module connections. Its 16 integrated connectors support up to 32 groups of parallel RGB data. It receives data from a compatible NovaStar sending device and distributes it to the cabinet’s LED modules.
This page uses DH7516-S Specifications V1.2.3, dated May 15, 2025. Match the specification and configuration to the physical card before ordering a replacement. The loading limits differ between PWM and common driver ICs, so check the module’s driver-chip model before selecting a card.

The 60 Hz value accompanies the documented pixel-loading limits. It does not establish the LED module’s refresh rate or guarantee camera performance. Confirm the complete display configuration, driver IC and required operating settings for your project.
Calibration and display adjustments
Pixel brightness calibration works with NovaStar’s calibration system to improve brightness consistency. Dark or bright line adjustment addresses visible seams between modules or cabinets. Multi-batch adjustment helps reduce brightness differences between batches.
Individual red, green and blue gamma adjustment requires NovaLCT and a controller that supports the function. Image rotation is available in 90-degree steps. The documented 3D function also requires a compatible controller; receiving-card support alone does not make a complete 3D display system.

Connections and maintenance
The two Gigabit Ethernet ports connect the sending device and subsequent receiving cards; either port can serve as input or output. Select either of the documented power connectors and verify polarity before applying power. Use the specification’s pinout when matching HUB75E module cables.
For maintenance, the card supports temperature and voltage monitoring, Ethernet bit-error detection, and readback of firmware and configuration parameters. Back up the working parameters before replacement. Loop backup uses primary and backup cable paths between the controller and receiving cards; it requires the corresponding wiring. Dual program backup refers to two stored firmware copies.

Check your cabinet before ordering
Record the cabinet pixel width and height, module driver IC, scan mode, HUB75E pin assignment, power supply, existing receiver revision and sending-device model. Check the mounting space and retain your configuration files. For a model check, contact EagerLED with board and module-label photos. You can also browse the LED receiving card range.
NovaStar DH7516-S questions
Is 512 × 512 the capacity for every module?
No. V1.2.3 specifies that limit at 60 Hz for PWM driver ICs. Common driver ICs have a separate 512 × 384 limit at 60 Hz.
Does the card provide 3D by itself?
No. The specification requires a controller supporting 3D. Check the full signal chain and display configuration before selecting equipment.
Does dual program backup mean two receiving cards?
No. It describes two firmware copies stored on the receiving card. Loop backup is a separate feature that depends on primary and backup network paths.
Where is the connector pinout?
Download the DH7516-S specification PDF for the HUB75E pinout, power connections, dimensions and supported functions. Confirm the document version against your unit.
