COEX Series MX20 LED Display Controller
The MX20 is an all-in-one LED display controller in the brand-new control system COEX series of Xi’an NovaStar Tech Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as NovaStar). This controller integrates video processing and video control into one box and offers 2x HDMI 1.3, 1x 3G-SDI input connectors, 6x Ethernet output ports, and 2x 10G optical ports. It can also work with the brand-new software VMP (Vision Management Platform) to provide a better operation and control experience.
VMP is an all-new display control software that integrates design, management, and monitoring into one single platform. When paired with the flagship MX Series controller and A10s Pro receiving card, an incredibly professional LED solution is realized, providing stunning image quality, precise color adjustment, and an intuitive software experience. This represents a totally new solution for managing high-end applications such as fine-pitch LED installation, studio broadcasting, touring, corporate events, virtual production and E-sports.
Inputs and Outputs
- 2 types of inputs
− 2x HDMI 1.3 (with loop through)
− 1x 3G-SDI (with loop through)
- 10-bit and 8-bit video inputs
- 3 types of outputs
− 6x Gigabit Ethernet ports, load capacity up to 3.9 million pixels
− 2x 10G optical ports, 1 as primary port and 1 as backup port
− 1x SPDIF digital audio port - 3 types of controls
− 1x Genlock signal input (with loop through)
− 2x Ethernet control ports
− 1x Auxiliary port
Advanced Features
- 3 independent layers
Support up to 3 layers and layer priority adjustment in Z order. - Image scaling
Support 4 image scaling modes: custom, pixel to pixel, snap to canvas and fill screen. - 14Ch Color Correction
Support precise adjustment to hue, saturation and brightness of black, white and the 12 derived standard colors of the red, green and blue primary colors. - Full Grayscale Calibration
Work with NovaStar’s high-precision calibration system and the C3200 scientific grade camera to generate unique calibration coefficients for each grayscale, ensuring uniformity of each grayscale and dramatically improving the image quality. - HDR
− Support HDR10 and comply with the SMPTE ST 2084 and SMPTE ST 2086 standards.
− Support HLG.
- Latency
− Support low latency and the controller load capacity is not reduced. The latency at the controller is 0 frame (less than 1 ms) in Send-Only Controller working mode and 1 frame in All-In-One Controller working mode.
− Support additional latency. Zero to two frames of latency can be added at the controller. - Frame Rate Adaptive
The controller can be adaptive to various video input frame rates, including decimal frame rates.Custom frame rates are also supported and the step size of fine tuning frame rate is as small as 0.01 Hz. - Two working modes
Support the All-In-One Controller and Send Only Controller working modes.
− In the Send-Only Controller mode, the latency can be reduced by one frame.
− In the All-In-One Controller mode, the layer and scaling functions are available. - Display system monitoring
Support monitoring of the device status and screen status. Any fault and alarm information can be reported actively.
Device Controls
- VMP software control
The device can be connected to the VMP software to provide easy and convenient operations and smart device management. - SNMP and Art-Net protocols supported
- Cascading control via Ethernet
The Gigabit Ethernet control ports support TCP/IP protocol and star topology. No switch or router is needed to deploy multiple devices on the same LAN via device cascading as the network switching function is already built in.
Function Limitations
- The Frame Rate Adaptive function can be achieved when the MX20 works with the A10s Pro receiving card.Currently supported driver ICs include MBI5264, MBI5253B, ICND2055, ICND2065, ICND2059 and ICND2069. In addition, the .ncp file generated by the Cabinet Tool from NovaStar must be used.
- The Full Grayscale Calibration function can be achieved when the MX20 works with the A10s Pro receiving card.
- The low latency and the Genlock are mutally exclusive. To enable low latency, please make sure all Ethernet ports load the cabinets vertically and share the same Y coordinate.
