Kystar S10 for ten-port LED display sending
The Kystar S10 sends video to a compatible LED receiving-card network through ten Gigabit Ethernet outputs. It supports up to 6.5 million LED pixels in total, with up to 650,000 pixels per output. One HDMI 2.0 input accepts 4K sources up to 4096 × 2160 at 60Hz, while two DVI inputs provide additional source connections.
This controller serves the sending stage of a Kystar control system for rental and fixed installations, including presentation walls, exhibitions and stage displays. Select it by the LED pixel count, required source interface and receiving-card configuration.

Setup tools and operation
- EDID management: configure a source timing that fits the documented input resolution and pixel budget.
- Passive calibration: perform supported screen-calibration work without an active video source.
- Calibration-data transfer: deliver correction data through the supported Kystar workflow.
- Cascade control: configure multiple compatible sending units for a larger system.
- Output adjustment: manage brightness and color temperature for the configured LED screen.
Screen size and source timing checks
4K input support does not raise the S10 LED output budget. A native 3840 × 2160 LED canvas contains 8,294,400 pixels and exceeds the unit’s 6.5-million-pixel capacity. A 3000 × 2000 canvas contains 6,000,000 pixels and is below the total limit, but its cabinet arrangement and each output chain must also meet the per-port limit.
The 8000-pixel width and height figures are separate constraints. They do not describe a fully loaded 8000 × 8000 screen. HDMI and DVI have different input limits, so use HDMI 2.0 for the documented 4096 × 2160 at 60Hz source timing. The HDMI loop output repeats the HDMI input; it is not documented as a DVI loop output.
For 3D, recalculate the LED screen capacity because the specification states that load is halved in this mode. Confirm the required 3D transmitter, glasses, receiving cards and firmware. For ordinary display operation, verify the exact receiving-card model, cabinet mapping and source timing before ordering.
If the project needs twenty Ethernet outputs and optical transmission, compare the Kystar S20 against its own input, output and backup specifications.
Frequently asked questions
Which input supports 4K60 on S10?
The HDMI 2.0 input supports up to 4096 × 2160 at 60Hz. DVI is documented up to 2048 × 1152 at 60Hz.
Can S10 drive a full native 3840 × 2160 LED screen?
No. That LED canvas exceeds the 6.5-million-pixel output capacity even though its video signal can be accepted over HDMI.
Does 3D retain the full pixel capacity?
No. The retained model specification states that 3D halves the LED load.
Conclusion
S10 offers ten-port LED sending, 4K60 HDMI input and calibration tools for a screen within its 6.5-million-pixel budget. Plan the source timing, receiving-card chains and output mapping together, and recalculate capacity for 3D. Refer to the official Kystar S10 page and preserved specification below.
