What's new.
All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them. ~ Walt Disney

Finally.

Have you ever wished that you could just build it yourself?

Sure, the Engineers and Marketing Departments think they know better than you, whether you are picking out a new car or a new toaster. But we all know that 'one size fits all' is just an easy way for the guys in suits to check off the boxes and get in some extra time on the greens.

Enter the NovaStar Series H.

The H15 is NovaStar's newest generation of video wall splicer designed especially for fine-pitch LED screens.

The H15 can work as splicing processors that integrate both video processing and video control capabilities, or work as pure splicing processors. The Series H adopts a modular and plug-in design, and allows for flexible configuration and hot swapping of input and output cards.

NovaStar's powerful hardware FPGA system, with a modular and plug-in design, features a stable and highly efficient pure hardware architecture, and provides a variety of connector modules for flexible and personalized configuration, allowing for easy maintenance and low failure rate.

The H15 provides industry-standard input connectors, including HDMI, DVI, DP, VGA, CVBS, SDI and IP, and supports 10-bit video source input and processing, as well as 4K high-definition inputs and outputs. The H15 also provides two kinds of LED 4K sending cards, allowing for the backup between the OPT ports and Ethernet ports as well as ultra-long distance transmission. Moreover, the H15 supports multi-screen and multi-layer management, input and output EDID management and monitoring, input source renaming, BKG and OSD settings and more.

So how does one build out the H15?

Start with the H15 case which supports up to 208 million pixels. Or scale back to a Series H9 or H5 if one of those is closer to what your project needs. Then pick your cards until you have your own full house. Or royal flush!

When you are done, your Series H will perform to the standards you have set out. And then it is your turn to hit the greens.

Outstanding.

It's a familiar story. Same old meets brand new and shiny. Same old plunges into self-loathing and doubt and chooses an early retirement, making way for the new kid on the block.

Only a handful of years have passed since the industry's only offerings for outdoor displays were massive cabinets that weighed a ton and were populated with individual pixels that could be counted from across the room. Images may have been bright, but were otherwise best described as coarse.

The new Desay Series WT packs 112,896 pixels into just 4 panels measuring a total of a square meter. While few applications call for a 4K installation, it is comforting to know that if you have the appetite and room for a 73 square meter display, we have your solution.

But more likely, the Series WT will be going on a creative journey. Many will be small-format billboards or signage that stretches in a slender row from one end of a storefront to the other. Or maybe just a collection of individual panels measuring a foot square and lighting up a building in a fantastic checkerboard.

Desay Series WT

The new for 2022 Desay Series WT is an advanced aluminum panel that weighs under 10 kilograms with XY dimensions that start at 250 × 250 and range up to 1333 × 250 millimeters and just 58 millimeters deep.

These panels can be configured in portrait or landscape mode to allow for creative applications such as building a border around a window frame for example.

We can equip the Desay Series WT with upgraded NovaStar A10s Pro receiver cards which provides for equipping the WT with the new NovaStar VMP or Vision Management Platform control software and a NovaStar MX40 LED display controller.

Or for less demanding displays, we can offer the very affordable NovaStar Taurus media player.

Pixels

Pixel-to-pixel spacing begins at an impressive 2.976 millimeters to create fine-pixel display resolutions of over 112,896 LED lamps/m².

Each millimeter of spacing supports one meter of viewing distance which means that the Series WT will look great from less than 3 steps away.

Dimensions

The Series WT is an advanced aluminum panel that weighs under 10 kilograms with XYZ dimensions of 1000 × 250 × 58 millimeters. Boomers can convert those numbers to the 1825 Exchequer Standards for dimensions of 39 × 10 × 2.3 inches and a featherweight 21 pounds.

Viewing

Display panel brightness is sunshine-ready at a sizzling 5000 cd/m². Screen refresh rates are set at up to 3840 Hz for camera-ready video. An outstanding 160° off-axis viewing means that pretty much everyone in the audience can see the Series WT whether coming or going.

Performance

Red14 × Green14 × Blue14 generate 4398 billion colors and a silky smooth 16384 greys. Display life expectancy is projected to be 100,000 hours, which works out to about 11 years of full-time use. Which means we look forward to hearing from you again in 2033.

Power

Rated power consumption is a low 217 W/m² to 227 W/m² and up to 930 W/m² on full load depending on the specifications of the model. Variable voltage power units accept 100V ~ 240V. Our technicians will provide an electrical schematic specific to your project on request.

Installation

The Series WT is good to go as a single panel or a massive billboard. The WT will follow a gentle curve or form a 90° corner and wrap a column. These innovative panels can be set out in a horizontal or vertical configuration, or mixed and matched as your project demands.

This changes everything.

Picking out a fantastic new controller usually ranks a very distant second to selecting a fantastic new direct view LED display.

It is something that is needed to finish the job, but more often than not, is chosen on the basis of simply being capable. Which is a shame, given the amount of energy that NovaStar puts into developing some of the very best systems in the world.

The new NovaStar Series MX40 has set out to change all that, but to fully understand all its features, we need to do so alongside the software that it runs: NovaStar Vision Management Platform.

Let's dive right into a 90-second video for an overview, and if you have 20 minutes to spare, watch the second video which should answer pretty much every question you'll have:
