Novastar VX16S 4K Video Processor Controller With 16 LAN Ports 10.4 Million Pixels
Introduction
The VX16s is NovaStar’s new all-in-one controller that integrates video processing, video control and LED screen configuration into one unit. Together with NovaStar’s V-Can video control software, it enables richer image mosaic effects and easier operations.
The VX16s supports a variety of video signals, Ultra HD 4K×2K@60Hz image processing and sending capabilities, as well as up to 10,400,000 pixels.
Thanks to its powerful image processing and sending capabilities, the VX16s can be widely used in applications such as stage control systems, conferences, events, exhibitions, high-end rental and fine-pitch displays.
