NovaStar VX400
NovaStar VX400
The VX400 is a previous-generation all-in-one controller that integrates video processing and video control into one box. Part of the generational progression (VX4S → VX4S-N → VX400 → VX400 Pro), the VX400 succeeded the VX4S-N and has been succeeded by the current-generation VX400 Pro, which offers significant improvements including HDMI 2.0 support, 6 independent layers (up from 2), 256 user-defined presets (up from 10), and enhanced 4K×2K@60Hz input capabilities. The VX400 features 4 Ethernet ports and supports video controller, fiber converter and Bypass working modes. A VX400 unit can drive up to 2.6 million pixels, with the maximum output width and height up to 10,240 pixels and 8192 pixels respectively, which is ideal for ultra-wide and ultra-high LED screens.
