NovaStar · Receiving card
A6s
Fully verified
Armor Manufacturer class: Receiving Card
General small receiving card; a single A6s loads up to 512×256 pixels. Highlights are pixel level brightness and chroma calibration, individual Gamma adjustment for RGB, 3D, 18bit+ and low latency. It uses high-density connectors with up to 32 groups of parallel RGB data or 64 groups of serial data (extendable to 128).

Calculate
Best suited for
- Driving a cabinet or module group of up to 512 × 256 pixels with a single card.
- Permanent installations that need temperature / voltage monitoring.
Key features (manufacturer)
- A single card loads up to 512×256 pixels
- Up to 32 groups of parallel RGB data or 64 groups of serial data (extendable to 128 groups of serial data)
- Pixel level brightness and chroma calibration with NovaLCT and NovaCLB
- 18Bit+ mode improves LED display grayscale by 4 times
- Low latency: frame latency on the receiving card end reduced to one frame (only with modules whose driver IC has built-in RAM)
- Individual Gamma adjustment for RGB, 3D function and image rotation in multiples of 90°
- Voltage and temperature monitoring, bit error rate monitoring and status monitoring of dual power supplies
- Dual-card backup with status monitoring, loop backup and dual backup of program
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 131,072 px.
