Calculate
Best suited for
- Driving a cabinet or module group of up to 256 × 256 pixels with a single card.
- Permanent installations that need temperature / voltage monitoring.
Key features (manufacturer)
- Resolutions up to 256×256@60Hz for PWM driver ICs
- Supports up to 1/32 scan
- 8 standard HUB75E connectors and up to 16 groups of parallel RGB data
- Pixel level brightness and chroma calibration with NovaStar's calibration system
- Quick adjustment of dark or bright lines and 3D function (with a sending card that supports 3D)
- Temperature and voltage monitoring without peripherals; bit error detection on the Ethernet port
