Calculate
Best suited for
- Driving a cabinet or module group of up to 256 × 256 pixels with a single card.
- Permanent installations that need temperature / voltage monitoring.
Key features (manufacturer)
- A single card loads up to 256×256 pixels
- Up to 24 groups of parallel RGB data or 64 groups of serial data (expandable to 128 groups of serial data)
- Pixel level brightness and chroma calibration with NovaLCT and NovaCLB
- Individual Gamma adjustment for RGB (NovaLCT V5.2.0 or later and a controller that supports the function)
- Image rotation in multiples of 90° (0°/90°/180°/270°) and 3D output with a controller that supports 3D
- Temperature and voltage monitoring, bit error detection and status detection of dual power supplies
- Loop backup, dual backup of configuration parameters and dual backup of the application program
- EMC Class B compliant hardware design; input voltage DC 3.3 V to 5.5 V, rated power consumption 2.5 W
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 65,536 px.
