The NovaStar CX40 Pro is a cutting-edge 4K LED display controller from NovaStar’s COEX series, engineered for high-resolution visual applications. Supporting up to 9 million pixels, it provides seamless control for demanding indoor and outdoor LED display environments, including broadcast studios, corporate venues, large-scale exhibitions, and control rooms. The controller offers a rich selection of video inputs, including HDMI 2.0, DP 1.2, and 12G-SDI, alongside high-speed outputs through six 5Gbps Ethernet ports and a 40Gbps optical port, enabling rapid and reliable transmission for ultra-high-resolution video content. Its integration with NovaStar’s VMP (Vision Management Platform) software ensures intuitive operation, smart device management, and efficient cascading control across multiple devices without requiring additional network switches or routers.
The CX40 Pro is designed to elevate visual performance and optical control with advanced features including Genlock, 3D LUT, color replacement, HDR support, dynamic boosting, image scaling, and full grayscale calibration. The controller supports up to three independent 4K layers, allowing precise Z-order adjustments for complex content displays. Image scaling can be performed in three modes—custom, pixel-to-pixel, and snap-to-canvas—while color replacement enables selective adjustment of highly saturated colors without impacting other visual elements. Its 14-channel color correction provides precise control over hue, saturation, and brightness for black, white, and twelve derived colors, complemented by adjustable RGBW curves and 3D LUT color mapping for accurate and consistent color reproduction.
For enhanced image quality and optical fidelity, the CX40 Pro incorporates dynamic booster technology, which analyzes and adjusts each video frame in real time to improve contrast, highlight image details, and reduce LED screen power consumption, thereby extending display lifespan. Full grayscale calibration leverages NovaStar’s high-precision calibration system with the C3200 scientific-grade camera to generate unique coefficients for each grayscale, ensuring uniformity and improved visual consistency across the screen. HDR support includes HDR10, HLG, and compliance with SMPTE ST 2084 and ST 2086 standards, delivering vibrant colors, rich gradation, and enhanced visual depth. Low latency is supported with 0-frame delay in Send-Only Controller mode and 1-frame delay in All-In-One Controller mode, with optional additional latency from zero to two frames, making the CX40 Pro suitable for live events, broadcast environments, and interactive installations.
The controller’s design prioritizes usability and lighting control management. A rugged 5.5-inch 1080p touch LCD allows intuitive operation, while multiple Ethernet control ports supporting TCP/IP protocol enable flexible cascading and network deployment. The CX40 Pro also supports monitoring of both device and screen status, reporting faults or alarms proactively to ensure uninterrupted operation. Two working modes—All-In-One and Send-Only Controller—allow optimization of layer management, scaling functions, and latency reduction according to application needs.
Connectivity is extensive, with three types of video inputs—two HDMI 2.0 with loop through, one DP 1.2, and two 12G-SDI with loop through—and three types of outputs, including six Ethernet ports with a total load capacity of 9 million pixels, a high-speed 40Gbps optical port, and an SPDIF digital audio port. Additional controls include a Genlock input with loop-through, dual Ethernet control ports, and an auxiliary port, providing comprehensive management for LED display networks. The CX40 Pro’s combination of high-resolution video support, precise color and lighting control, low latency, and extensive connectivity makes it ideal for professional LED display applications requiring superior image fidelity, flexible installation, and reliable performance.
