Novastar KU20 LED Display Controller – COEX Series Description
The NovaStar KU20 LED Display Controller is a high-performance LED controller designed for professional LED display systems. Part of NovaStar’s brand-new COEX series control system, the KU20 integrates reliable video processing with advanced display control, providing a smooth and high-quality visual experience. Compatible with NovaStar’s Vision Management Platform (VMP) software, it offers intuitive control and efficient management of LED displays.
Product Features:
• Single HDMI Input: 1× HDMI 1.3 input with loop-through, supporting both 8-bit and 10-bit video formats.
• High-Capacity Ethernet Outputs: 6× Gigabit Ethernet ports, supporting up to 3.9 million pixels.
• Optical Output: 1× 10G optical output for high-speed signal transmission.
• Advanced Image Scaling: Supports custom and pixel-to-pixel modes for precise image display.
• Full Grayscale Calibration: Works with NovaStar’s high-precision calibration system and C3200 scientific-grade camera to generate unique calibration coefficients for each grayscale, ensuring uniformity and high image quality.
• Pixel-Level Brightness and Chroma Calibration: Ensures consistent brightness and color across the entire display.
• Low Latency Performance: Zero-frame latency (<1 ms) without reducing load capacity; supports additional zero-to-two frame latency adjustment.
• No Rectangle Restriction: Supports irregular screen shapes; blank pixels do not count towards total load capacity.
• Frame Rate Adaptive: Supports various video input frame rates, including decimal and custom frame rates; fine-tuning step as small as 0.01 Hz.
• Two Working Modes: All-In-One Controller mode (layer and scaling functions) and Send-Only Controller mode (reduces latency by one frame).
• System Monitoring: Real-time monitoring of device and screen status; active reporting of faults and alarms.
• VMP Software Control: Provides easy, smart, and centralized management via NovaStar Vision Management Platform.
• Protocol Support: Compatible with SNMP and Art-Net protocols for network integration.
• Cascading via Ethernet: TCP/IP protocol and star-topology support; up to 20 KU20 devices can cascade without switches or routers.
• Genlock Support (via A10s Pro receiving card): Ensures precise synchronization for multi-screen setups (low latency and Genlock are mutually exclusive).
• Power Input: AC 100–240V~, 50/60Hz, 1.5A; max power consumption 25 W.
• Operating & Storage Environment: –20ºC to +50ºC, 0–80% RH operating; –30ºC to +80ºC, 0–95% RH storage.
• Durable Build & Installation: Dimensions 254.3×50.6×290 mm, net weight 2.1 kg, IP20; supports horizontal placement and includes installation brackets.
• HDMI & Ethernet Loop Support: HDMI loop-through supports up to 8 devices; Ethernet ports allow cascading for multiple displays.
• Detailed Load Capacity Management: Calculates max pixel load per Ethernet port depending on frame rate and bit depth, compatible with A10s Pro and Armor Series receiving cards.
• Enhanced Video Compatibility: Supports resolutions up to 1920×1200@60Hz for HDMI and 1920×1080@60Hz for 3G-SDI (via compatible receiving card).
• Certifications: CCC, CE, FCC, IC, UL, CB, PSE, RCM, KC.
• Safety & Compliance: Includes battery, installation, and environmental cautions; horizontal placement required; prevents water intrusion.
