Check the specification revision before installation
The table preserves the parameters in the original listing and its Chinese Rev1.0.3 PDF. NovaStar’s later V1.2.2 specification states a maximum load of 1920 × 1200 at 60 Hz and identifies two UART cascade ports. Confirm the supplied hardware and matching document when using the older 2048 × 1152 figure or cascade-interface descriptions.
Plan the complete screen resolution as well as each Ethernet connection. The per-port figure is not a statement that all six port maxima can be added to obtain the controller’s total loading capacity.

MCTRL700 FAQ
What video inputs does the MCTRL700 have?
It has one DVI input and one HDMI input, plus one audio input. The original specification lists HDMI 1.3 and HDCP support.
How many LED Ethernet outputs are available?
There are six Gigabit Ethernet outputs. The original Rev1.0.3 document lists up to 650,000 pixels per port; also check the controller’s overall resolution limit when allocating the screen.
Is the maximum resolution 2048 × 1152 or 1920 × 1200?
Rev1.0.3 lists both at 60 Hz. The later V1.2.2 document states 1920 × 1200 at 60 Hz. Match the document revision to your hardware before choosing an input timing.
Can I loop the DVI or HDMI video signal?
Yes. The listed DVI and HDMI outputs are provided for cascading or monitoring the video source.
Where can I find the MCTRL700 specifications?
The original Chinese Rev1.0.3 PDF remains available above. Check the hardware revision when comparing it with newer documents, especially for loading limits and serial cascade connections.
