NovaStar EL3000 4K Video Wall Splicer Overview
The NovaStar EL3000 is a high-performance, modular video wall splicer for large LED display systems. Its pure-hardware FPGA architecture processes video without relying on a computer operating system, while the plug-in card design lets integrators configure inputs and outputs for each project.
The EL3000 supports 4K ultra-HD input and output, multi-screen management, multi-layer display, input and output EDID management, scrolling OSD text and dual control card backup. Input and output cards are hot-swappable, which makes system setup, expansion and maintenance more efficient.

Key Features
Modular and Hot-Swappable Design
- Combine compatible input and output cards to match the required system capacity.
- Configure multiple capacities within a single card slot.
- Monitor the online status of all input and output cards.
- Hot-swap input and output cards for easier installation and service.
Centralized Multi-Screen Management
- Assign an independent output resolution to each screen.
- Create output mosaics across a large LED video wall.
- Build screens with mixed output connector types.
- Apply LCD bezel compensation when used with LCD video walls.
- Route accompanied audio output with the display content.
Flexible Content and Layer Control
- Display multiple layers and manage them across screens.
- Add high-definition scrolling text and screen-specific OSD content.
- Store up to 2,000 presets and schedule preset playlists.
- Manage channel logos, crop and rename input sources, and group sources.
- Support decimal frame rates and output connector rotation mosaic.
- Automatically process supported HDCP-encrypted sources.
Browser-Based Control
The EL3000 uses a B/S architecture, so operators can access the control interface from a compatible web browser on a PC, tablet or kiosk without installing a separate application. Multiple users can collaborate online, view input and output status, configure the system and update firmware through the web interface.
Monitoring, Backup and Fault Detection
- Dual control card backup helps prevent system disconnection.
- Built-in self-test functions support faster fault detection.
- Automatic status monitoring and alarms improve operational visibility.
Who Is the EL3000 For?
The NovaStar EL3000 is designed for projects that need to combine multiple video sources, build complex screen layouts and manage a large LED display or video wall from one platform. Its modular chassis is especially useful when the required input/output configuration may change as a system grows.
Price Configuration
The displayed price includes the EL3000 main unit, one EL_4xHDMI input card and one EL_4xHDMI output card. Other card combinations and system configurations are available. Please contact us with your source formats, output requirements and screen layout so we can confirm a suitable configuration.
