The NovaStar VX2U is an all-in-one LED display controller and video processor for LED screens that combines video processing, source switching and LED sending control in one unit. It supports up to 1.3 million pixels, a maximum output width of 3840 pixels and standalone USB media playback. This makes the VX2U a practical controller for rental LED panels, stage displays, events and fixed LED screen installations.

One Controller for Processing, Switching and Sending
Instead of using separate devices for video processing and LED signal transmission, the VX2U places both functions in one compact controller. The integrated sending card simplifies the signal chain, while the front-panel workflow supports day-to-day operation without requiring software to remain open.
The controller accepts common digital and analog sources, scales content to fit the LED canvas and switches between sources without a disruptive black screen. Two-layer PIP lets operators place one source over another for presentations, live events and multi-source display layouts.
Standalone USB Playback Without a Connected PC
For scheduled clips, demonstrations or simple signage, insert a compatible USB drive and play media directly from the VX2U. A computer is therefore not required for continuous USB content playback. Initial LED screen configuration and advanced management may still require the appropriate NovaStar tools.
Who Is the NovaStar VX2U For?
The VX2U is suited to LED screen integrators and operators who need a compact LED video processor for rental stages, conference displays, houses of worship, exhibitions and permanent installations. Its 1.3-million-pixel capacity is especially useful for small and medium LED walls that need several source types, fast switching and straightforward operation.
