What Is the NovaStar NovaPro HD?
The NovaPro HD is an all-in-one LED video processor and display controller from NovaStar. A single unit takes multiple video sources, switches and scales them, applies per-input image adjustment, and drives the LED screen through four Ethernet outputs plus four optical fiber interfaces. Because video processing and display control sit in the same chassis, most installations do not need a separate scaler between the source equipment and the LED wall.
Configuration can be done in two ways: from the front panel using the control wheel and button, or from a web browser on a Windows, macOS or Linux computer, tablet or smartphone, with real-time previews to confirm each source and setting.
Key Features
- Integrated video processing and LED control: combines front-end processing and display control, reducing the need for an external scaler in standard applications.
- Flexible source support: accepts CVBS, VGA, 3G-SDI, DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort signals with input resolutions up to 1080p@60Hz.
- Scaling and picture-in-picture: scales sources up or down to match the LED display resolution and supports two-source PIP layouts.
- Per-input image adjustment: configure brightness, contrast, hue, saturation and RGB gain for each source.
- Professional synchronization: GenLock and DMX512 interfaces support coordinated playback and show control.
- Long-distance transmission: four optical fiber interfaces support reliable signal delivery across larger venues and installations.
- Browser-based setup: configure the system from Windows, macOS or Linux computers, tablets and smartphones, with real-time previews for source and setup confirmation.
- Custom display formats: user-defined EDID and custom output resolutions help match wide, tall or non-standard LED canvases.

Where Is NovaPro HD Used?
- Live event and rental LED screens that require fast source switching and PIP
- Broadcast studios and production environments using SDI, GenLock or DMX512
- Fixed LED video walls with custom or non-standard canvas resolutions
- Large venues that benefit from optical fiber transmission
- Control rooms that need browser-based remote setup and real-time source preview
Choosing the Right NovaStar Video Processor
NovaPro HD sits in the middle of the NovaStar video processing range. Choose it when your sources run up to 1080p@60Hz, you need PIP, GenLock or 3G-SDI, and you want optical fiber output for long cable runs at an economical price point. If your project needs a higher-resolution 4K-class processor, compare it with the NovaPro UHD all-in-one LED wall video processor or the NovaPro UHD Jr 4K LED video controller. For smaller fixed installations that only need a sending card or sending box, a NovaStar MCTRL300 or MCTRL660 sender box is usually enough.
