Introduction

The AT20 is a general small receiving card developed by NovaStar. A single AT20 loads up to 256×256 pixels. With various functions such as 12-bit precision pixel level brightness and chroma calibration, and individual Gamma adjustment for RGB, the AT20 can greatly improve the display effect and user experience.
The AT20 uses high-density connectors for communication to limit effects of dust and vibration, resulting in high stability and reliability. It supports up to 24 sets of parallel RGB data or 64 sets of serial data (extendable to 128 sets of serial data). Its reserved pins allow for custom functions of users. Thanks to its EMC Class B compliant hardware design, the AT20 has improved electromagnetic compatibility and is suitable to many applications.

Features

Improvements to Display Effect
· Pixel level brightness and chroma calibration Working with NovaLCT and NovaCLB, the receiving card supports 12-bit precision brightness and chroma calibration on each LED, which can effectively remove color discrepancies and greatly improve LED display brightness and chroma consistency, allowing for better image quality.
· Quick seam correction
Working with NovaLCT, the receiving card supports quick adjustment of bright and dark lines caused by splicing of cabinets and modules. This function is easy to use and the adjustment can take effect immediately.
· 3D function
Working with the independent controller which supports 3D function, users can enable the 3D function in NovaLCT or on operation panel of the controller, and set 3D parameters to allow for 3D display effects.
· Individual Gamma adjustment for RGB Working with NovaLCT (V5.2.0 or later) and the independent controller which supports this function, the receiving card supports individual adjustment of red Gamma, green Gamma and blue Gamma, which can effectively control image non-uniformity under low grayscale and white balance offset, allowing for a more realistic image.
· Image rotation in 90° increments
In NovaLCT, the image on the screen can be set to rotate in multiples of 90° (0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°).
Improvements to Maintainability
· Smart module (supported by dedicated firmware) The smart module is composed of Flash and MCU.
Flash can store calibration coefficients and module parameters. MCU can communicate with the receiving card to monitor temperature, voltage and ribbon cable communication status at the module level. Working with the driver chip, MCU also supports LED error detection.
The smart module allows for a smaller monitoring unit, requiring no independent monitoring card and saving cabinet space.
· Module Flash management
Module Flash information can be managed in NovaLCT. The module ID can be managed, and calibration coefficients and module parameters can be stored in the module Flash.
· One-click application of calibration coefficients saved in module Flash
In the event of network outage, users can hold down the self-test button to read the calibration coefficients in module Flash back to the receiving card.
· Mapping function
After the Mapping function is enabled in NovaLCT, target cabinet will display the receiving card number and Ethernet port information, allowing users to easily obtain the location and wiring route of receiving cards.
· Setting of pre-stored image on receiving card
In NovaLCT, a specified image can be set as the LED screen startup image or as the image to be displayed on LED screen when the Ethernet cable is disconnected or no video signal is available.
· Voltage and temperature monitoring
The voltage and temperature of the receiving card can be monitored without using peripherals. The monitoring data can be checked in NovaLCT.
· Cabinet LCD
The receiving card supports LCD of cabinet. The LCD can display temperature, voltage, single operating time and total operating time of the receiving card.
· Bit error rate monitoring
The receiving card can work with NovaLCT (V5.2.0 or later) to monitor the network communication quality between sending device and receiving card, or between receiving cards, and record the number of errors to help troubleshoot network communication problems.
· Readback of firmware program
In NovaLCT (V5.2.0 or later), the receiving card firmware program can be read back and saved to local computer.
· Readback of configuration parameters
In NovaLCT, the receiving card configuration parameters can be read back and saved to local computer.
Improvements to Reliability
· Dual-card backup and status monitoring
In an environment with requirements for high reliability, two receiving cards can be mounted onto a single HUB board. In the case that main receiving card fails, the backup card will serve to ensure uninterrupted operation of the display.
The working status of main and backup receiving cards can be monitored in NovaLCT (V5.2.0 or later).
· Status monitoring of dual power supplies
The receiving card supports dual power supplies and can detect whether their working statuses are normal.
· Loop backup
The receiving card can improve the reliability for cascading of receiving cards through main and backup redundant mechanism. If either main or backup cascading lines fail, the other will begin to work to ensure uninterrupted operation of the display.
· Dual backup of configuration parameters Two copies of receiving card configuration
parameters can be saved in receiving card via NovaLCT and one copy serves as backup.
· Dual backup of program
Two copies of application programs are saved in the receiving card at the factory to avoid the problem that the receiving card may get stuck due to program update exception.
