The A5s Plus is a general small-size receiving card from NovaStar designed for professional LED display applications. Supporting various functions such as Color Management, 18bit+, Pixel Level Brightness and Chroma Calibration, Quick Adjustment of Dark or Bright Lines, Multi-batch Adjustment, Low Latency, 3D, Individual Gamma Adjustment for RGB, and 90° Image Rotation, the A5s Plus can significantly improve the display effect and user experience. The A5s Plus uses high-density connectors for communication to limit the effects of dust and vibration, resulting in high stability. It supports up to 32 groups of parallel RGB data or 64 groups of serial data (expandable to 128 groups of serial data). Its reserved pins allow for custom functions of users. Thanks to its EMC Class B compliant hardware design, the A5s Plus has improved electromagnetic compatibility and is suitable for various on-site setups. The card features advanced maintainability improvements including Smart Module support for module ID management and monitoring, Automatic Module Calibration, Module Flash Management, Mapping 1.1 for easy topology visualization, Temperature and Voltage Monitoring, Cabinet LCD support, Bit Error Detection, Dual Card Backup with status monitoring, Loop Backup, and Dual Backup of configuration parameters and firmware programs. Maximum resolution: For PWM driver ICs, up to 512×384@60Hz (8bit) or 256×384@60Hz (10bit/12bit). For common driver ICs, up to 384×384@60Hz (8bit) or 192×384@60Hz (10bit/12bit).
