NovaStar MRV560-1 EMC LED receiving card
The NovaStar MRV560-1 is the standard MRV560-series receiving card with male connectors on the top side. The series is described as the EMC version of MRV360. Its data modes, calibration support and monitoring functions suit LED cabinets whose hub wiring and configuration match the card.
MRV560-1 parameter summary
| Connector variant | MRV560-1: male connector on top |
|---|---|
| Parallel data modes | 16 groups of RGBR′ or 20 groups of RGB data |
| Serial data mode | 64 groups of serial data |
| Listed single-card resolution | 256 × 226, as printed in the original page and MRV560 Rev1.1.2 feature list |
| MOM function | Stores calibration coefficients and LED module information |
| Calibration | Pixel-by-pixel brightness and chromaticity calibration; coefficients for each LED |
| Monitoring | Temperature, supply voltage and Ethernet communication status; monitoring-card connection supported |
| Other functions | Configuration-file readback and pre-stored picture setting |
Resolution note: the original Rev1.1.2 PDF explicitly states 256 × 226. This value is retained rather than changed to a different MRV-series rating. Confirm the required cabinet resolution and operating conditions for the supplied revision.
Calibration and maintenance
Brightness and chromaticity calibration can be applied at individual-pixel level. MOM stores module information and correction coefficients, while configuration readback helps retain the settings needed for maintenance. The original specification also lists high grayscale and high refresh support without a numeric guarantee; actual results depend on the module and configuration.
The series documentation states RoHS and CE-EMC Class B compliance. This does not replace checking the complete display system and the exact supplied board for the project.
MRV560 connector variants
Compare both connector gender and board side before selecting a replacement. Confirm availability of variants with sales.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between MRV560-1, -2, -3 and -4?
The original model table distinguishes connector position and gender: -1 has male connectors on top, -2 male on the bottom, -3 female on top and -4 female on the bottom.
Does the MRV560-1 support 20 RGB data groups?
Yes. The original documentation lists 20-group RGB parallel mode, alongside 16-group RGBR′ and 64-group serial modes. Select the mode matching the cabinet wiring.
Why is the resolution shown as 256 × 226?
That is the value printed in the MRV560 Rev1.1.2 feature list and the original product page. Confirm the intended cabinet load for the supplied revision instead of substituting another model’s rating.
Can it store calibration information?
Yes. MOM stores calibration coefficients and LED module information. Pixel-level brightness and chromaticity calibration is also listed.
Can I reuse a configuration file from another card?
Configuration readback is supported, but a file should match the LED modules, wiring and card revision. Provide the existing board and cabinet details for a compatibility check before replacement.
