A10s Plus
Fully verified
Armor Manufacturer class: Receiving Card
High-end small receiving card; a single A10s Plus loads up to 512×512 pixels. It adopts NovaStar's LED Image Booster technology to calibrate the color gamut and grayscale of the screen and improve grayscale by 64 times, and supports pixel level brightness and chroma calibration, individual gamma adjustment for RGB, low latency, 3D and HDR.

Calculate
Best suited for
- Driving a cabinet or module group of up to 512 × 512 pixels with a single card.
- Permanent installations that need temperature / voltage monitoring.
Key features (manufacturer)
- A single card loads up to 512×512 pixels
- Up to 32 groups of parallel RGB data or 64 groups of serial data (expandable to 128 groups of serial data)
- LED Image Booster: color management, precise grayscale (65,536 levels, 16bit) and 22bit+ (grayscale improved 64 times); actual effect depends on the driver IC; NovaLCT V5.4.0 or later required
- HDR10 and HLG video sources supported when working with a sending card that supports the HDR function
- Low latency: 1 frame on the receiving card end, only with modules whose driver IC has built-in RAM
- Image rotation in multiples of 90°, and at any angle with SmartLCT and the MCTRL R5 LED display controller
- Temperature and voltage monitoring without peripherals; bit error detection; status detection of dual power supplies
- Loop backup, dual card backup, and dual backup of configuration parameters, firmware program and calibration coefficients
Capacity and loading area
The card receives data over the Ethernet chain and drives the module group inside this area. The cabinet/module load cannot exceed this area or the capacity of 262,144 px.
