NovaStar MCTRL660 LED Display Controller (B-STOCK)
Professional LED Display Controller for Digital Signage and Large-Screen Video Systems
The NovaStar MCTRL660 LED Display Controller is a professional video controller and processor designed to connect with NovaStar LED displays. Built for applications including concerts, exhibitions, security environments, store displays, presentations, and digital advertising signage, it provides centralized control for professional LED video display systems.
The MCTRL660 features HDMI 1.3, SL-DVI, and 3.5 mm analog audio inputs, along with four Gigabit Ethernet outputs for connection to LED signage displays. HDMI and DVI loop outputs support signal distribution workflows, while the controller supports 8-bit, 10-bit, and 12-bit video inputs and 18-bit grayscale processing and display.
Operators can control the MCTRL660 from a computer through its USB-B host connection or configure the screen directly from the front LCD controls without using a computer. Two UART control ports support cascading up to 20 devices, providing practical expansion for larger LED display systems and multi-controller installations.
Pixel-level brightness and chroma calibration, manual screen brightness adjustment, and support for custom video resolutions give LED display professionals additional control over screen configuration and image presentation.
