Novastar J6 Multi-Screen Splicing Processor

                       Novastar J6 Seamless Switcher Description

The J6 is a NovaStar high-performance seamless switcher that integrates video processing, screen mosaic, transition effects and multi-screen display capabilities. The J6 offers powerful video signal receiving and processing abilities and supports up to 8 inputs with resolutions up to 4K×2K@30Hz and 6 windows. Besides, this product supports two system modes: Splicer and Switcher. When it is in Splicer mode, a maximum of 4 DVI output connectors can be used together for output, which can realize an up to 8KK loading capacity of each J6 unit. When it is in Switcher mode, a maximum of 2 DVI output connectors can be used together for output, which can realize an up to 4KK loading capacity of each J6 unit.

Based on a powerful FPGA platform, the J6 supports input and output EDID management and color adjustment, seamless transition of a variety of input sources, as well as fade and other transition effects, bringing you a more flexible and rich visual experience.

What’s more, the J6 is equipped with NovaStar V-Can smart control software and C1 event controller, allowing for a rich screen mosaic effect via V-Can, C1 or front panel operations. With excellent image quality, ultra-large loading capacity and flexible operation modes, the J6 can be widely used in conference reports, exhibition centers, stage control and other application scenarios.

● Supports 5 × outputs, including 4 groups with 8 DVI connectors for splicing output, and 1 × HDMI preview output.

● The preview connector supports preview of PVW, PGM and 8 × input signals.

● Output resolution is settable. The splicing width of 4 channels can be up to 15360×600.

● Up to 6 windows can be displayed simultaneously and the resolution of each window is up to 7680×1080@60Hz. J6 also supports one OSD of up to 4K×2K, which can be images or texts.

● The window position, size, etc. are adjustable, and each window can be added with borders of custom color and widths.

● Besides the 6 built-in preset templates, up to 16 user presets can be created and saved as templates. All the presets can be used directly and easily.

● Provides 21 transition effects to enhance and present images with professional quality. 

● An intuitive color LCD on the front panel and clear button indicator lights simplify the system control operations.

● Supports Genlock synchronization, allowing you to choose any input source or external synchronization signal to achieve vertical synchronization.
