NovaStar MX20 LED Display Controller | 3.9 Million Pixels
NovaStar MX20 LED display controller with six Gigabit Ethernet outputs, two 10G optical ports and up to 3.9 million pixels. Two HDMI 1.3 inputs and one 3G-SDI input support three-layer processing in All-In-One mode. Contact sales for pricing and system compatibility.
NovaStar MX20 LED display controller
The NovaStar MX20 is an all-in-one COEX controller for LED screens with HDMI and SDI sources. It combines three-layer video processing with six Gigabit Ethernet outputs, an overall capacity of up to 3.9 million pixels and two 10G optical ports. NovaStar VMP handles configuration and device control.
MX20 technical specifications
| Inputs | 2 × HDMI 1.3 with loop-through; 1 × 3G-SDI with loop-through |
|---|---|
| Input bit depth | 8-bit / 10-bit |
| LED outputs | 6 × Gigabit Ethernet; up to 3.9 million pixels overall |
| Fiber outputs | 2 × 10G optical ports; OPT 1 carries Ethernet ports 1–6, OPT 2 copies OPT 1 |
| Control and synchronization | 2 × Ethernet control ports; Genlock input and loop-through |
| Reserved connectors | 1 × SPDIF digital audio output; 1 × AUX auxiliary port |
| Layers | Up to 3 independent layers with Z-order adjustment |
| Scaling modes | Custom, pixel-to-pixel, snap-to-canvas and fill-screen |
| Low-latency operation | Send-Only mode: 0 frame, less than 1 ms at the controller. All-In-One mode: 1 frame. Additional delay: 0–2 frames. |
| Frame-rate fine tuning | 0.01 Hz steps |
These functions follow the original listing and V1.0.0 specification. Pixel loading depends on frame rate, bit depth, receiving cards and output mapping; the maximum total is not available under every configuration.
Choose the operating mode for your display
All-In-One Controller mode enables layers and scaling for arranging sources on the LED canvas. Send-Only Controller mode reduces controller latency by one frame when sending a prepared image. The specified delay describes the controller, not the complete source-to-screen signal path.
For irregular screens, blank canvas areas do not count toward loading. Each Ethernet port’s load is the sum of the cabinet pixels assigned to it. Device and display status monitoring reports faults and warnings.
Color adjustment and calibration
Color correction adjusts hue, saturation and brightness for black, white and twelve colors derived from the RGB primaries. Full grayscale calibration uses NovaStar’s calibration system and the C3200 camera to generate coefficients at individual grayscale levels.
V1.0.0 requires A10s Pro receiving cards for full grayscale calibration and adaptive frame rate. The latter also has driver-IC and cabinet-file requirements. Low latency and Genlock are mutually exclusive; low-latency cabinet mapping must follow the specification.

Frequently asked questions
How many pixels can the NovaStar MX20 load?
The maximum total is 3.9 million pixels across six Gigabit Ethernet outputs. Check the per-port loading table for the required bit depth, frame rate and receiving card before wiring the screen.
Does the MX20 accept a full 4K input?
V1.0.0 lists HDMI input up to 1920 × 1200 at 60 Hz and SDI up to 1920 × 1080 at 60 Hz. The separate custom width limit does not mean full 3840 × 2160 input support.
Are the two 10G optical ports independent outputs?
OPT 1 carries the data for Ethernet ports 1–6; OPT 2 duplicates OPT 1. This backup channel does not double the controller’s pixel capacity.
Can Genlock and low latency be enabled together?
No. The original V1.0.0 specification makes them mutually exclusive. Choose the mode required by the installation and check the cabinet-mapping conditions.
Which software is used to configure the MX20?
Use NovaStar VMP for configuration and control. Match the software, controller firmware and receiving-card setup to the requirements of the display.
