Very eXtraordinary

Or how to splurge on deluxe hardware in the most responsible manner possible.

Pixels

Pixel loading begins at a modest 2,300,000 for a quotidian display, climbs to an impressive 6,500,000 for something more sensational, and then blasts off to reach a staggering 10,400,000 pixels, which means you are good to go for a 4K × 2K primary layer and a pair of 2K × 1K layers.

Dimensions

All NovaStar VX models measure 482.6 millimeters wide to fit a standard 19" rack. Each is either 2U or 3U tall which corresponds to a multiple of 44.45 millimeters. And if you don't happen to have a rack on hand, no worries as they are equally comfortable set up on your desk.

Viewing

Custom scale your content to fit your display. Select up to 3 independent layers of content. Enable amazing 3D display effects. Create an image mosaic from up to 4 devices. Support for decimal frame rates. And 3G-SDI and HDMI 2.0 and SL-DVI. Save your settings with up to 10 presets.

Performance

Support for up to 10,240 pixels and 8,192 pixels on the X and Y axis. Up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Up to 2 optical fibre inputs and outputs. HDMI 1.3 for monitor output. Source and display color adjustment. Low latency function. Powerful video processing. Leaps tall buildings.

Power

Rated power consumption runs from 25 to 70 watts and 1.5 to 2.1 amps. Variable voltage is 100V ~ 240V and input power frequency is 50Hz ~ 60Hz. Power cords may include USA, Europe and UK. Cables may include Cat5e and USB, and DVI and HDMI. Quietly running at 38 to 45 dB.

Don't drive yourself crazy trying to figure out the series and correct specifications and dimensions for your project. Just contact our offices and in ten minutes we can review everything and find out what works best for the space and the budget. There...I'm feeling better already.

Order

If you are like everyone else, you will leave this part to the last possible moment. We can share in your stress and jump through any hoop to meet your evolving schedule. We strive to have the most popular NovaStar products in stock at all times, but orders are first-come first-serve.
