An Ultra-Large-Capacity Controller for Oversized LED Displays
The NovaStar MCTRL4K 4K LED Display Sending Controller is an independent LED display controller developed by NovaStar with an epoch-making significance in the industry, built for AV professionals who need to drive massive LED walls that exceed the capacity of standard controllers. A single unit features a loading capacity of up to 4096×2160@60Hz, making it a go-to solution for the on-site configuration requirements of ultra-long or ultra-wide LED displays, ribbon boards, and architectural facades.
Built for the Largest LED Wall Configurations
This controller is made for installations that push far beyond typical screen dimensions. It supports custom resolutions with a width or height of up to 7680 pixels, allowing integrators to configure displays that break normal aspect ratios, whether that means an ultra-wide stadium screen or an ultra-tall perimeter display. Unlike all-in-one processors, the MCTRL4K functions as a pure sending controller, meant to be paired with a video processor or fed directly from a media server or graphics card, and multiple units can be cascaded, with up to 10 units supported together, for walls beyond the capacity of a single controller.
Comprehensive Connectivity for Professional Workflows
The MCTRL4K provides a complete set of video input interfaces, including DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 2.0, and dual-link DVI, supporting 4K input resolutions up to 4096×2160 at 60Hz. On the output side, it features 16 Neutrik Gigabit Ethernet ports alongside 4 optical fiber outputs for high-bandwidth, long-distance data transmission with built-in redundancy, delivering a maximum single-unit loading capacity of approximately 8.8 million pixels. Dual-link DVI input supports two distinct operating modes, mosaic and multi-card, giving integrators flexibility in how they configure complex screen layouts.
Industry-Leading Image Quality Technologies
The MCTRL4K comes equipped with numerous industry-leading technologies, including HDR support in both HDR10 and HLG standards, individual gamma adjustment for RGB channels, low-latency processing, 3D display support, and pixel-level brightness and chroma calibration. These technologies work together to improve display brightness, grayscale, and color performance, presenting more uniform, detailed, and vivid images across the entire wall. The controller is configured through NovaStar's NovaLCT software, the same platform used across NovaStar's receiving cards and broader hardware ecosystem.
