Introduction
CO
H
The VX600 is NovaStar's new all-in-one controller that integrates video processing and video control into one box. It

C
features 6 Ethernet ports and supports video controller, fiber converter and Bypass working modes. A VX600 unit can
drive up to 3.9 million pixels, with the maximum output width and height up to 10,240 pixels and 8192 pixels

E
respectively, which is ideal for ultra-wide and ultra-high LED screens.

T
The VX600 is capable of receiving a variety of video signals and processing high-resolution images. In addition, the
device features stepless output scaling, low latency, pixel-level brightness and chroma calibration and more, to
present you with an excellent image display experience.

R
What's more, the VX600 can work with NovaStar's supreme software NovaLCT and V-Can to greatly facilitate your in-

A
field operations and control, such as screen configuration, Ethernet port backup settings, layer management, preset

T
management and firmware update.
Thanks to its powerful video processing and sending capabilities and other outstanding features, the VX600 can be

S
widely used in applications such as medium and high-end rental, stage control systems and fine-pitch LED screens.
