Novastar MX30

NovaStar MX30 Hire in Ibiza

Hire the NovaStar MX30 in Ibiza for LED screens, corporate events, concerts, festivals, presentations and professional video productions.

The MX30 is an all-in-one LED display controller from NovaStar’s COEX platform. It combines video processing, image scaling, signal management and LED screen control in a professional 2U rack unit.

With a maximum loading capacity of 6.5 million pixels, the controller is suitable for medium and large LED walls, panoramic displays and complex event screen configurations.

Professional COEX LED Display Controller

The NovaStar MX30 integrates professional video inputs and LED outputs within one device.

Its main connectivity includes:

• One HDMI 2.0 input with loop-through
• One HDMI 1.4 input with loop-through
• One DisplayPort 1.1 input
• Two 3G-SDI inputs with loop-through
• Ten Gigabit Ethernet LED outputs
• Two 10G optical outputs
• Genlock input and loop-through
• Two Ethernet control ports
• SPDIF digital audio output
• Auxiliary RS232 control

This makes the MX30 suitable for professional live events, broadcast workflows, corporate productions and camera-based applications.

4K HDMI Video Input

The NovaStar MX30 includes an HDMI 2.0 input capable of receiving resolutions up to 4096 × 2160 at 60 Hz.

It also supports custom input resolutions, including ultra-wide and tall video formats, depending on the connected source and graphics-card configuration.

The HDMI 2.0 input supports HDR10, HLG, EDID management and HDCP 2.2 compatibility.

This allows the controller to work with:

• Professional media servers
• Video playback computers
• Presentation systems
• Vision mixers
• Broadcast equipment
• Blackmagic video systems
• Streaming computers
• Professional 4K sources

HDMI, DisplayPort and SDI Inputs

In addition to its HDMI 2.0 connection, the MX30 includes an HDMI 1.4 input, a DisplayPort 1.1 input and two 3G-SDI inputs.

The dual SDI connections support professional video signals up to 1920 × 1080 at 60 Hz.

This provides greater flexibility than controllers designed only around HDMI inputs, particularly when working with cameras, broadcast switchers and long-distance SDI signal distribution.

Up to 6.5 Million Pixels

The NovaStar MX30 supports a maximum LED screen load of 6.5 million pixels.

Its ten Gigabit Ethernet outputs distribute the processed image directly to compatible receiving cards installed inside the LED cabinets.

The controller supports a maximum configured output width or height of up to 16,384 pixels, making it suitable for:

• Wide panoramic LED screens
• Tall portrait screens
• Irregular LED layouts
• Multiple separated screen areas
• Scenic LED structures
• Custom event installations

Actual port capacity depends on the selected bit depth, frame rate and receiving-card configuration.

Ten Gigabit Ethernet Outputs

The MX30 provides ten Gigabit Ethernet LED outputs.

The ports support hot backup configurations, allowing selected ports to provide redundancy for critical screen sections.

Compared with the MX20, which offers six Ethernet outputs and a 3.9-million-pixel load, the MX30 provides more direct cabinet connections and a substantially larger total canvas.

Dual 10G Optical Outputs

The NovaStar MX30 includes two 10G optical output ports.

The optical connections can be used with compatible NovaStar fibre equipment for long-distance transmission between the controller and the LED screen.

This is useful when the video control position is located far from the screen, such as:

• Festivals
• Large corporate events
• Outdoor stages
• Conference venues
• Broadcast compounds
• Large wedding productions

The second optical port operates as a copy or backup channel for the main optical output.

Three Independent Video Layers

The MX30 supports up to three independent video layers.

Each layer can be positioned, resized and organised according to its priority within the canvas.

Available scaling modes include:

• Custom scaling
• Pixel-to-pixel display
• Snap to canvas
• Fill screen

This makes it possible to display several sources or graphical elements simultaneously without requiring a separate video processor for basic compositions.

Genlock Synchronisation

The NovaStar MX30 includes professional Genlock input and loop-through connections.

It supports Bi-Level, Tri-Level and Blackburst synchronisation signals.

Genlock allows the LED controller to synchronise with external cameras, video mixers and production systems. This can reduce frame mismatch, tearing and visible artefacts when an LED screen is filmed.

Up to 20 MX30 units can be cascaded from a standard Genlock source.

Low-Latency Operation

The MX30 supports low-latency operation without reducing the total LED load.

In Send-Only Controller mode, the controller processing delay can be reduced to less than one millisecond.

The unit supports two principal operating modes:

• All-In-One Controller mode
• Send-Only Controller mode

All-In-One mode enables video layers and scaling. Send-Only mode is suitable when an external processor or media server already manages the final canvas and minimum latency is required.

Advanced Colour Management

The NovaStar MX30 provides advanced colour tools for professional LED displays.

Its features include:

• 14-channel colour correction
• Hue, saturation and brightness adjustment
• Black-and-white correction
• Colour replacement
• Full-grayscale calibration support
• Brightness and gamma adjustment
• Colour temperature control

These functions help improve cabinet matching, skin-tone reproduction, grayscale uniformity and camera performance.

Some advanced calibration functions require compatible NovaStar receiving cards and calibration hardware.

Frame-Rate Adaptive Technology

The MX30 can adapt to multiple video-input frame rates, including fractional frame rates.

Compatible configurations can support high-frame-rate workflows and fine frame-rate adjustment in increments as small as 0.01 Hz.

This is useful for broadcast, camera and virtual-production applications where the screen refresh behaviour must closely match the source.

Some advanced frame-rate adaptive functions require compatible NovaStar receiving cards and supported LED driver ICs.

VMP Software Control

The NovaStar MX30 is configured and managed through NovaStar VMP software.

VMP allows technicians to control:

• LED cabinet mapping
• Screen resolution
• Input sources
• Layer positions
• Scaling
• Brightness
• Gamma
• Colour temperature
• Output-port assignment
• Monitoring
• Presets
• Device status

The integrated Ethernet network switch allows several controllers to be cascaded on the same control network without requiring an additional external switch.

Automated System Monitoring

The MX30 can monitor compatible LED display hardware and report system information and alarms.

Depending on the receiving cards and cabinet electronics, monitoring can include:

• Cabinet temperature
• Voltage status
• Fan operation
• Module condition
• Device faults
• Screen alarms
• Communication errors

This helps technicians identify problems before they affect the complete LED screen.

Complete LED Screen Controller Hire

The NovaStar MX30 can be hired individually or supplied as part of a complete professional LED screen system.

Depending on the production, the package can include:

• Indoor or outdoor LED screen
• LED screen structure
• Video mixer
• Media server
• Playback computer
• Blackmagic video equipment
• Fibre converters
• Optical cabling
• HDMI, DisplayPort and SDI cabling
• Power distribution
• Delivery and installation
• LED screen technician
• Video operator

Every controller is inspected, updated, configured and tested before delivery.

Our technicians can also prepare the screen mapping, receiving-card configuration, output-port assignment, Genlock, colour settings and video routing according to the production requirements.
