Sizing

When it is the wrong answer

Each line below follows from the table above or, where it says so, from our own commissioning. Either side of the VX400 sits a model that suits a different shape of job. We will not print a pixel count at which you should switch: that depends on your cabinet, and we would rather check the layout than have you act on a number we made up.

You need more than one picture-in-picture

The VX400 has 2 layers. The VX600 and VX1000 have 3.

The source is above 1920 × 1200

HDMI and DVI input top out at 1920 × 1200 at 60 Hz. NovaStar’s VX400 Pro has the same 2.6 million pixel capacity and takes 4K × 2K at 60 Hz.

The wall is over 2.6 million pixels

That is the rated capacity. The VX600 takes 3.9 million over 6 Gigabit ports.

Volunteers or office staff will run the screen

It is set up in NovaLCT, which in our experience is an engineer’s tool. Where the people running the wall are not technicians, a COEX controller suits better: its VMP software is graphical, and new users find their way around it quickly. The MX20 is the COEX model nearest in capacity.

VX400

This page

A small fixed wall or a single rental screen: 2.6 million pixels over 4 Gigabit ports. Two layers is the limit that bites. One picture-in-picture is fine; a second, or a logo over the PIP, needs the VX600.

Above it — VX600

A mid-size wall fed at 1080p: a church side screen, a stage backdrop, a lobby. 3.9 million pixels over 6 Gigabit ports with three layers. Input tops out at 1920 × 1200, so on a wide wall the picture is scaled up. That is fine for slides and video, and the wrong box for native-resolution content.

What else the run needs

A controller is a third of a working system

What decides a controller purchase is rarely the controller. It is whether the unit is on a shelf near you, who maps your cabinets, and whether the cable and power for the run ship with it.

The model is checked before you buy it

Send the cabinet model and the layout. If the VX400 is the wrong tier for that pixel count, we will say so before the invoice, not after the wall is up. Over-specifying costs you money; under-specifying costs you the project.

Commissioning is in-house

NCE certification means the person who maps your cabinets works here. No factory escalation, no time-zone gap on a load-in day, and the same engineer is still reachable when phase two starts.

Cable and power are on the shelf

Cat6 snakes, fiber, and Socapex and Camlock distribution for the same run are stocked in Anaheim, so the install does not stop while a cable ships. See the cable catalog →

On project and multi-unit purchases, send the cabinet count and ask for a quote.

Questions

What buyers ask about this model

How much is the NovaStar VX400?

$1,291 at PixelPro Productions in Anaheim, California, for a single unit. It carries a 3-year warranty. Project and multi-unit pricing is quoted privately — send the cabinet count and the install date and a written quote comes back the same business day.

Is the VX400 the right controller for my wall?

Total the finished pixel count, including whatever phase two adds, and compare it against the rated loading capacity above. A small fixed wall or a single rental screen: 2.6 million pixels over 4 Gigabit ports. Two layers is the limit that bites. One picture-in-picture is fine; a second, or a logo over the PIP, needs the VX600.

Why do your specifications differ from other dealers?

They are read from NovaStar’s own published specification document rather than copied from another seller. The document and the date we checked it are printed under the table, so you can verify any row rather than take our word for it.

Do you have it in stock?

Common controller models, the VX400 among them, are held at 3111 E Miraloma Ave, Anaheim. Send the cabinet model and layout and we will confirm availability against your install date in the same reply.

Who commissions it?

Our own engineers. NovaStar NCE certification is held in-house, so cabinet mapping and fault diagnosis happen here rather than as a support ticket into a factory queue — which on a load-in day is the difference between a fix today and a fix after the time-zone gap closes.

Can you install it, or only supply it?

Both. Installation is performed under California contractor license CSLB #1063528 (General B), which is what allows us to touch structure, conduit and power rather than only hang a screen. We also sell the controller on its own to integrators running their own build.
