Kommander Rendering Core

The unique algorithm of KYSTAR is applied to the rendering core of Kommander F-series. It can solve the problem that it is hard to achieve smooth playing when processing high resolution video and high-bit-rate video via a normal computer.

Modular Design

Kommander F-series has a modular design. It is divided into a USB module, an audio module, a video output module, and a video input module.

Each module is relatively independent, with photoelectric isolation protection, which can effectively avoid interface damage due to high voltage, high pressure, and hot plugging.

8K Video Hardware Decoding

Kommander F-series supports hardware decoding, which can easily decode 8K or higher resolution video files, providing ultra-high definition image quality for the video.

16K Resolution Of a Single Machine

Standard Kommander F-series is equipped with 4 DP outputs. The resolution of each output can be up to 4K@60Hz, the total output resolution of the F-series can reach 33 million pixels, and the maximum horizontal and vertical resolution of which can be 16000 pixels.

Multi-machine Cascade

Kommander F-series supports a multi-machine cascade to complete the control of an 8K × N resolution LED screen.|
When cascading, all devices are in a linked state, and users can complete the control of the whole device group through one server.

KFS Frame Synchronization Technology

Kommander F-series supports KFS (Kystar Frame Synchronization) technology, which can ensure that each server is at the same working frequency. And the output image is fully synchronized to avoid an image seam between different servers.

Multi-machine Seamless Backup System

Multiple Kommander F-series and Hero 1000 can constitute a backup system. Multiple F-series can always keep playing synchronously. When the host server is out of order, the backup server can complete seamless automatic switching.

Output Segmentation and Reorganization

Kommander F-series supports output port arbitrarily segmentation and reorganization, so that the screen shape driven by each output port is not limited by the rectangular output of the output port, and at the same time, the connection of the display screen with a complex shape becomes simple.

Visualized Simulation Design

Kommander F-series supports visualized simulation according to the actual size and installation position of the LED screen. Combined with output segmentation and reorganization, it makes the design of the whole broadcast scheme very simple.

Preset Management

Kommander F2 allows customers to save the layout and display content as a preset. Users can switch the preset when they want to change the layout or display content. It is very convenient to manage multiple screens.

Multiple Control Modes

Kommander F-series can be controlled by several methods: local control by the keyboard and mouse or touch screen, program-controlled by the central controller, and cloud-based control by the Kares system.

Support Multi-format Media Resources

Kommander F-series supports various formats of pictures, videos, and music. Users do not need to transcode video formats in advance.
It also supports direct display of Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and other files, and retains animation effects when playing PowerPoint files.

Steaming Media and Video Capture

Kommander F2 has a strong network expansion capability. It can insert lots of web layers. It also supports the NDI protocol, which enables it to display multiple local area network device content. At the same time, F2 can process external video signal content with optional video input cards in real time.

Special Effects Processing

Kommander F-series supports a series of special effects. It not only supports basic layer operations such as layer overlay, changing layer transparency, image rotation, adding subtitles, etc., but also has more than 20 kinds of VJ special effects to help users complete creative projects.

EDID Lock

Kommander F-series is equipped with an EDID lock system. After the user completes the configuration of the whole display system, they can lock the EDID information. It can prevent the system confusion caused by the EDID information reset due to the wrong unplugging of the output cable, back-end equipment malfunction, and other reasons.

System Operation Monitoring

Kommander F-series has the function of monitoring the system operation status. The user can know the system status through the prompt information on the equipment panel to prevent the occurrence of faults.
