Novastar H Series: Screen Configuration for LED Screen

Environment

  • Product: Novastar H Series Processor
  • Component: Novastar H2, H5, H9, H15, H20 Series Processor
  • Control System: Novastar

Steps

Configure the screen based on the structure and data flow of the screen loaded by the current device. Associating the screen with the outputs will make it convenient for you to control the screen by area. 

When you use different output cards, the screen configuration methods are different.

  • Method I: Use the LED 4K sending cards (H_16xRJ45+2xfiber sending card and H_20xRJ45 sending card) for output, a virtual 4K connector is displayed on the configuration page. Use the fiber sending card for output, a connector with the sender icon is displayed on the configuration 
  • Method II: Use the DVI and HDMI output cards for output, note that only the connectors of the same type can be configured on the same screen.

 

Web Interface Steps:

Log into the Novastar H Series Web Interface, then:

 

1. Select Configuration to enter the screen configuration page. 

2. Click New Screen at the top to open the New Screen window. 

3. Enter a screen name. You can name the screen according to its location or input, whichever is easier for you to identify the screen quickly and precisely when operating the layers, presets, etc. 

4. Set the quantities of the rows and columns based on the screen structure. 

5. Select the desired output card to load the screen, and then click and drag the sending card to the screen.

  • When you use the H_16xRJ45+2xfiber sending card or H_20xRJ45 sending card, it is recommended you go to Settings > EDID Management > Output to set the output resolution and frame rate first.
  • When you use the H_4xfiber sending card, go to the Device page to configure the connector working mode first, and then go to Settings > EDID Management > Output to set the output resolution and frame rate.
  • When you use the DVI or HDMI output card, the real connector is displayed on the Configuration page, such as DVI or HDMI. 

6. Click Save to save the screen settings.
