NovaStar VX600 LED Display Controller Overview
The NovaStar VX600 is an all-in-one LED display controller that combines video processing and LED screen control in a single 1U device. It provides six Gigabit Ethernet outputs and controls up to 3.9 million pixels, with a maximum output width of 10,240 pixels or maximum height of 8,192 pixels. It is designed for rental LED screens, stage systems, fine-pitch displays and other installations that need flexible input switching, scaling and reliable backup.
The VX600 supports Video Controller, Fiber Converter and Bypass operating modes. It works with NovaLCT and V-Can for screen configuration, layer management, preset management, Ethernet port backup and firmware updates.

Inputs and Outputs
Video Inputs
- 1 x HDMI 1.3 input with loop output
- 1 x HDMI 1.3 input
- 1 x DVI input with loop output
- 1 x 3G-SDI input with loop output
- 1 x self-adaptive 10G optical port (OPT 1) for video input or sending-card output
LED and Monitoring Outputs
- 6 x Gigabit Ethernet ports for LED receiving cards
- 2 x optical fiber outputs: OPT 1 copies the six Ethernet outputs; OPT 2 can copy or back up the six Ethernet outputs
- 1 x HDMI 1.3 output for monitoring or video output
- Audio input through HDMI and adjustable audio output through a multifunction card
Video Processing and Display Control
- Low latency: reduces the delay from input to receiving card to 20 lines when Low Latency and Bypass modes are enabled.
- Three layers: independently adjust layer size, position and priority.
- SuperView III processing: supports stepless output scaling, one-click full-screen display and free input cropping.
- Output synchronization: use an internal input source or external Genlock to synchronize cascaded units.
- Image mosaic: combine two 2K x 1K at 60 Hz sources through OPT 1 and cascade up to four VX600 units for a larger mosaic.
- Color control: adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, hue and gamma; pixel-level brightness and chroma calibration are supported with NovaLCT and NovaStar calibration software.
- Hot backup: supports backup between devices, Ethernet ports and input sources.
Where Is the NovaStar VX600 Used?
The VX600 is a practical choice for medium and high-end rental LED displays, live stages, event production, control rooms, broadcast environments and fine-pitch LED screens. Its wide and tall output limits also make it suitable for creative LED canvases that do not use a standard aspect ratio.
NovaStar VX600 Video Introduction
The VX600 integrates a video processor, LED sending controller and fiber conversion functions into one compact device. Front-panel controls, V-Can and NovaLCT give operators flexible ways to configure the screen, recall presets and manage backup settings during an event or permanent installation.

NovaStar VX600 FAQ
How many pixels can the NovaStar VX600 control?
One VX600 controls up to 3.9 million pixels. The maximum output width is 10,240 pixels and the maximum output height is 8,192 pixels, subject to the total load capacity.
How many Ethernet outputs does the VX600 have?
The controller has six Gigabit Ethernet outputs for connection to LED display receiving cards.
Does the NovaStar VX600 support low-latency operation?
Yes. When Low Latency and Bypass modes are enabled together, delay from the input to the receiving card can be reduced to 20 lines.
Can the VX600 use optical fiber?
Yes. It includes a self-adaptive 10G optical port and two fiber outputs. The optical connections can be used for video input, sending-card output, output copying or backup, depending on the port and operating mode.
Is this listing for the NovaStar VX600 Pro?
No. This product page and the linked documents are for the standard NovaStar VX600 all-in-one controller. Check the specifications above before ordering if you are comparing it with another VX-series model.
Which software works with the VX600?
The VX600 works with NovaLCT and V-Can. You can also operate common functions from the front-panel knob and buttons.
