Novastar H5 Video Wall Splicing Processor For Indoor Full Color Small Pitch LED Display
Introduction
Based on the powerful hardware FPGA system architecture, with a modular and plug-in design, the H5 features a stable and highly efficient pure hardware architecture, and provides a variety of connector modules for flexible and personalized configuration, allowing for easy maintenance and low failure rate. The H5 provides the industry-standard input connectors, including HDMI, DVI, DP, VGA, CVBS, SDI and IP, and supports 10-bit video source input and processing, as well as 4K high-definition inputs and outputs. The H5 also provides three kinds of LED 4K sending cards, allowing for the backup between the OPT ports and Ethernet ports as well as ultra-long distance transmission.
Moreover, the H5 supports multi-screen and multi-layer management, input and output EDID management and monitoring, input source renaming, BKG and OSD settings and more, bringing you a rich image construction experience.
In addition, the H5 adopts the B/S architecture and supports cross-platform, cross-system access and control without the need to install an application program. On a Windows, Mac, iOS, Android or Linux platform, online collaboration of multiple users is supported and the Web page response speed is very fast, which greatly improves on-site setup efficiency. What’s more, the H5 supports online firmware update, allowing for easy hardware update on a PC.

The picture shown is for illustration purpose only. Actual product may vary due to product enhancement.
Notes:
The silkscreen marking "I-x" indicates the slot is dedicated to the input card. "I" stands for input and "x" stands for the slot number. For example, "I-1" indicates this slot is the 1st input slot and for installing an input card only.
The silkscreen marking "O-x" indicates the slot is dedicated to the output card. "O" stands for output and "x" stands for the slot number. For example, "O-10" indicates this slot is the 10th output slot and for installing an output card only.
The silkscreen marking "MVR" indicates the slot is dedicated to the preview card only.
Input Card
Limitation On Use
. If the total layer quantity in the current preset or the preset to be switched exceeds 16x SL layers, 8x DL layers or 4x 4K layers, the fade transition effect is not supported, while the cut transition is enabled by default.
. The layer capacity is matched with the connector specification. If the specification of the connected input source is lower than the connector specification, the latter shall prevail.
For example, an input source with the resolution of 1080p is connected to an HDMI 2.0 connector, and use this connector to add a layer. The layer capacity is 4K instead of SL.
. Only the H_2xfiber input card supports input mosaic on a single card, while the mosaic source cannot be cropped.
. The backup relationship cannot be set for NDI or IPC sources.
