NovaStar's flagship 4K LED display controller, the MX40 Pro, offers rich video input connectors (HDMI 2.0, DP 1.2 and 12G-SDI) and 20 Ethernet output ports. It can work with the brand-new VMP screen configuration software to provide users with the ultimate experience.

• VMP software as a perfect fit to configure screens easily and efficiently
  - Regular or irregular screens, they can be configured extremely fast.
  - Advanced Setup mode or simple Launch mode, they can be freely switched to meet different needs.
  - Topology area or properties area, there are big differences and a lot of features to explore.
  - A single device or grouped devices, all are under control.
• Innovative hardware architecture design to make wiring easy and flexible
  - Cascaded devices are controlled via Ethernet and operation commands can be received as soon as they are sent.
  - High bit depth inputs do not reduce the loading capacity by half and blank configurations do not occupy any capacity, using the Ethernet port bandwidth to the full potential.
• Not only a controller, but also a processor with a built-in color adjustment system
  - True 12bit, HDR, wide color gamut, high frame rate, and 3D display technologies are all included.
  - Color replacement and color calibration features can faithfully reproduce the colors.
  - The XR function, LED Image Booster, and Dynamic Booster features can present a smooth image.
  - Work with the calibration system to realize pixel level brightness and chroma calibration and full-grayscale calibration, enabling high brightness consistency and chroma consistency.

Features

Inputs and Outputs

• A variety of input connectors
  - 2x HDMI 2.0 (with loop output)
  - 1x DP 1.2
  - 1x 12G-SDI (with loop output)
• 12-bit/10-bit/8-bit video inputs
• Genlock signal input (with loop output)
• 20x Ethernet outputs: When the MX40 Pro works with the A10s Pro receiving card, the capacity of loading high bit depth inputs (10bit) will not be halved.
• 4x 10G optical outputs: The optical ports support copy mode.
• Adaptive to decimal frame rates: 23.98/29.97/47.95/59.94/71.93/119.88/143.86/179.82/191.81/215.78/239.76 Hz

Display Effects

• XR function: Construct virtual scenes via multi-angle displays to effectively solve the problems of camera exposure to light and display synchronization,
  reshaping the real vision.
• Dynamic Booster: Significantly improve the display contrast for better visual experience and effectively control and lower the display power consumption.
• Full-Grayscale Calibration: Make the display brightness and chroma more uniform at different grayscale levels and improve the display image quality, especially the indoor fine-pitch displays.

HDR function
HDR10 and HLG video sources are supported. Work with the receiving card that supports the HDR function to correctly parse the 10-bit HDMI HDR video source and faithfully reproduce the original brightness range and color space, allowing for a more lifelike image.
When the MX40 Pro works with the A10s Pro receiving card, the capacity of loading HDR images will not be halved.

LED Image Booster
The LED Image Booster has the following three functions that improve the display effect (the actual effect depends on the driver IC) from different dimensions.

• Color Management: Switch the color gamut of the screen between multiple gamuts to enable more precise colors on the screen.
• Precise Grayscale: Individually correct the 65,536 levels of grayscale (16bit) of the driver IC to fix the display problems at low grayscale conditions, such as brightness spikes, brightness dips, color cast and mottling. This function can also better assist other display technologies, such as 22bit+ and individual gamma adjustment for RGB, allowing for a smoother and uniform image.
• 22bit+: Improve the LED display grayscale by 64 times to avoid grayscale loss due to low brightness and allow for more details in dark areas and a smoother image.

Pixel level brightness and chroma calibration
Perform brightness and chroma calibration on each LED to effectively remove brightness differences and chroma differences and greatly improve display brightness consistency and chroma consistency, allowing for better image quality.

Low latency
The latency of video source on the sending card end is less than 1 ms and the loading capacity will not be halved when this function is enabled.
When the MX40 Pro works with high-latency devices, the latency on the sending card end can be increased as required.

3D function
Work with the receiving card that supports 3D function, the EMT200 3D emitter and 3D glasses to bring a fascinating and immersive 3D viewing experience.
Videos in Top-and-Bottom, Side-by-Side and Frame Sequential formats are all supported. The loading capacity will be halved when this function is enabled.

Individual gamma adjustment for RGB
Work with the receiving card that supports this function to individually adjust the red gamma, green gamma and blue gamma of 10-bit and 12-bit inputs, which can effectively control image non-uniformity at low grayscale conditions and white balance offset, allowing for a more realistic image.

Device Controls

• VMP software control: Various configurations of screens can be done in the brand-new VMP software of NovaStar. The software functions are practical and easy to use.
• Cascading control via Ethernet: Up to 10 MX40 Pro devices can be cascaded and uniformly controlled via the control PC.
