NovaStar VX16S specifications
| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| LED outputs | 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports; up to 650,000 pixels per port |
| Total pixels | Up to 10,400,000 in normal operation |
| Dimension limits | 16,384 pixels wide or 8,192 pixels high, subject to total load and port allocation |
| Video inputs | 1 x HDMI 2.0, 4 x SL-DVI, 2 x 3G-SDI |
| HDMI input | Up to 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz; supported color depth and sampling affect the input format |
| Layers | 1 x 4K main layer and 2 x 2K PIP layers |
| Control and presets | V-Can; up to 10 saved presets |
| Monitor output | HDMI, 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz |
Maximum width and height are separate limits, not a supported 16,384 x 8,192 canvas. A source accepted at 4K does not establish a valid LED output layout.
Check the screen pixel count first
| LED resolution | Pixels | Total-load check |
|---|---|---|
| 3840 x 2160 | 8,294,400 | Below nominal limit |
| 7680 x 1080 | 8,294,400 | Below nominal limit |
| 5120 x 2160 | 11,059,200 | Exceeds one VX16S |
These are arithmetic checks, not verified project designs. Next, distribute cabinets across ports and check receiving cards, source format, frame rate and bit depth. Reserve the required backup paths before finalizing the layout.
Processing and setup features
VX16S supports DVI Mosaic, adjustable layer priority, pixel-to-pixel, full-screen and custom scaling, and EDID management. Multi-device image mosaic requires a suitable video distributor. Backup requires an appropriately configured backup device; owning one controller does not provide a complete redundant system.
VX16S replacement: compare VX2000 Pro
| Model | Ports | Max. pixels |
|---|---|---|
| VX16S | 16 | 10.4 million |
| VX2000 Pro | 20 | 13 million |
VX2000 Pro is EagerLED’s recommended alternative, but it is not automatically a drop-in replacement. Its input arrangement differs from the VX16S’s DVI-based setup. Send photos of the existing connections, cabinet map and receiving-card model so the migration can be checked.
Frequently asked questions
Is the NovaStar VX16S discontinued?
EagerLED lists the VX16S as no longer in production and out of stock. For a new project, request a replacement configuration review rather than assuming this model is available.
What is the VX16S price?
The product is out of stock. Displayed catalog pricing does not confirm availability or an orderable offer. Contact EagerLED for current replacement pricing, shipping and delivery.
Can one VX16S drive a 3840 x 2160 LED wall?
The wall has 8,294,400 pixels, below the nominal 10.4-million-pixel limit in normal operation. Check each port, cabinet map, receiving cards, bit depth and frame rate before treating it as a valid configuration.
Does it provide three full 4K layers?
No. It has one 4K main layer and two 2K PIP layers. HDMI and DVI Mosaic sources are restricted to the main layer.
Does 3D reduce the loading capacity?
Yes. Enabling 3D halves capacity to 5.2 million pixels. A 3840 x 2160 LED wall exceeds that reduced pixel budget.
Where can I get the VX16S manual or firmware?
The download below is a specification PDF. Ask EagerLED for the applicable manual and firmware guidance for the exact VX16S device. Do not use firmware for another VX model.
