NovaStar NovaPro UHD Jr

NovaStar NovaPro UHD Jr: input and LED canvas

Plan presentations, video, and source changes around a defined canvas and signal path for the event screen.

Model and application

The documented name is NovaPro UHD Jr: an all-in-one video processor and LED sending controller. Confirm that label before applying NovaPro UHD or other variant data. Processing a 4K source does not identify the screen’s physical pixels.

Signal and optics

Input
HDMI, DP, DVI, and SDI have their own tables and functions. Verify the complete format and connector before defining the source.
Sending
16 LED Ethernet ports; nominal capacity 10.4 million pixels under documented conditions. Bit depth and per-port limits affect sizing.
Image
Input resolution, layer size, and LED mapping are different settings. Monitor and loop outputs do not replace cabinet data outputs.

System preparation

  1. Record cabinets, receivers, pixels per cabinet, layout, and wiring by port; preserve current files and settings.
  2. Define canvas, source format, layers, crop, and text size before adjusting scaling.
  3. Test pattern and source separately and check every area against a known visual reference.
  4. Rehearse source changes and recovery with the operator; keep an identified copy of the working configuration.

Planning questions

What can an event proposal include?

We can assess controller, playback, connections, configuration, and operation with the screen, or supplement an existing system. Send the date, venue, content, and approximate size so we can define the survey needed for a quote before the final map is available.

Can I fill a canvas with a different shape from the computer output?

The scaler can fit the layer to the canvas, but first choose whether to keep proportions with margins, crop, or create custom content. Filling the surface adds no source detail and may distort logos or text if their proportions change.

What if the computer rejects a custom resolution?

Keep working settings and record the requested complete format, port, version, and rejection messages. Compare computer output with the controller’s received format and try a direct connection before adding adapters. Canvas capacity does not prove GPU support for that timing; assess a supported standard signal with content arranged within it as an alternative.

Does changing EDID change the cabinets?

EDID communicates input formats to the source; it changes neither the physical matrix nor LED mapping. The manual distinguishes standard and custom resolutions by input and excludes that adjustment for SDI. Plan the test with the actual computer and preserve recovery before applying values.

When is a standard signal better than forcing a format?

If the source or an intermediate device cannot support the intended format, compare a compatible standard signal with agreed framing and scaling. Check margins, crop, and readability with design. Do not stretch content or promise pixel-perfect mapping without checking the full path.

How do we plan a laptop change without improvising?

Define source formats and connections, layer settings, and who performs each change. Rehearse actual content and an alternative source before doors open. An image preset alone does not establish signal, power, or controller backup.

Use and safety

Preserve recovery before sending files, saving to receivers, or changing firmware. Confirm versions and compatibility for the exact system.

Prepare power, mounting, and ventilation for screen and rack under their documentation; the processor does not certify those conditions.
