Novastar MCTRL600 Sending Box 4 Ports LED Digital Display Sender Controller
Introduction
The MCTRL600 is an LED display controller developed by NovaStar. It supports 1x DVI input, 1x HDMI input, 1x audio input, and 4x Ethernet outputs. A single MCTRL600 supports input resolutions up to 1920×1200@60Hz.
The MCTRL600 communicates with PC via type-B USB port. Multiple MCTRL600 units can be cascaded via UART port.
As a highly cost-effective controller, the MCTRL600 can be mainly used in the rental and fixed installation applications, such as concerts, live events, security monitoring centers, Olympic Games and various sports centers.
Features
⬤3 types of input connectors
− 1x SL-DVI
− 1x HDMI 1.3
− 1x AUDIO
⬤4x Gigabit Ethernet outputs
⬤1x light sensor connector
⬤1x type-B USB control port
⬤2x UART control ports
They are used for device cascading. Up to 20 devices can be cascaded.
⬤Pixel level brightness and chroma calibration
Working with NovaLCT and NovaCLB, the controller supports brightness and chroma calibration on each LED, which can effectively remove color discrepancies and greatly improve LED display brightness and chorma consistency, allowing for better image quality.
