The NovaStar NovaPro UHD is an all-in-one LED wall video processor that combines video processing, LED sending and screen configuration. Its V1.0.0 specification lists an 8.8-million-pixel load, 16 Ethernet outputs, four 10G optical outputs and six video layers for stage, rental and fine-pitch displays.
Legacy product: EagerLED lists this model as no longer in production. The previously recommended NovaPro UHD Jr is a separate model. Check inputs, receiving cards, control workflow and cabinet mapping before planning a replacement.
NovaPro UHD specifications
The following values refer to NovaStar specification V1.0.0, NS160100280. Match the installed input card and device configuration to this revision.
| Item | Specification and conditions |
|---|---|
| LED loading capacity | Up to 8.8 million pixels; maximum width 8192 pixels or maximum height 8192 pixels. These are separate limits, not an 8192 × 8192 canvas. |
| Main video inputs | Four 12G-SDI inputs with loop-through, one HDMI 2.0 input with loop-through and one DP 1.2 input. |
| Replaceable input card | Default D_4×HDMI 1.3 card: four inputs up to 1920 × 1080 at 60 Hz. A D_4×DVI card can replace it. |
| Video layers | Six layers: two up to 4K × 2K and four up to 2K × 1K; plus OSD, LOGO and background. |
| LED outputs | 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports and four 10G OPT outputs with copy/hot backup modes. |
| Monitoring and control | MVR multiviewer, AUX output, Master VI CONTROL UI, PC Ethernet, USB and GENLOCK IN-LOOP. |
| Power and chassis | 100–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz; dual power connectors; 180 W consumption. 4U chassis, 482.6 × 177 × 497.5 mm; net weight 21 kg. |
Check resolution, color format and signal routing
HDMI 2.0 and DP 1.2 accept 4K × 2K at 60 Hz and the specification also lists 8K × 1K at 60 Hz. The detailed source table gives 3840 × 2160 at 60 Hz for 8-bit RGB/YCbCr 4:4:4 or 4:2:2. At 10/12-bit, RGB and YCbCr 4:4:4 are limited to 1920 × 1080 at 60 Hz; YCbCr 4:2:2 reaches 3840 × 2160 at 60 Hz. YCbCr 4:2:0 is unsupported.
The 12G-SDI source table lists up to 4096 × 2160 at 60 Hz. For 12G-SDI, V1.0.0 specifies CANARE L-4.5CHD+ UHDTV-SDI cable shorter than 50 m. SDI inputs 1–3 lack deinterlacing; input 4 supports it. HDMI 2.0 and DP 1.2 do not accept interlaced inputs.
OPT 1 carries Ethernet outputs 1–8 and OPT 2 carries outputs 9–16. OPT 3 copies or backs up OPT 1; OPT 4 copies or backs up OPT 2. Four optical sockets do not multiply the controller’s rated pixel capacity. The separate control Ethernet connector is for PC communication/network connection.
Layers, HDR and low latency
Built-in Master VI lets an operator configure layers and the LED screen with a connected mouse, keyboard and monitor. Layer tools include scaling, cropping, opacity, masks, mirroring and priority adjustment. MVR can show sources, preview and program; AUX can feed an auxiliary display such as a teleprompter.
HDR requires NovaStar A8s or A10s Plus receiving cards in the linked revision. The stated input-to-receiving-card delay can be as low as one frame only when low latency and synchronization are enabled and screen data runs vertically. Confirm the receiving system and mapping before relying on either feature.

NovaPro UHD FAQ
Is NovaPro UHD the same as NovaPro UHD Jr?
No. This page covers the legacy 4U NovaPro UHD. Compare the UHD Jr’s own specification and installation requirements before choosing it as a replacement.
Can the USB ports play video directly?
V1.0.0 documents USB-A for system updates, mouse/keyboard connection and device cascading, and USB-B for PC debugging. It does not specify USB-drive media playback.
What information is needed to replace an existing controller?
Provide cabinet and total screen resolutions, receiving-card model, input sources with refresh rate and color format, fiber routing and current configuration files. Include a rear-panel photo to identify the installed input card.
