NovaStar KU20 LED Display Controller

Sale price $846.20 Regular price $900.97

The KU20 is a very popular comprehensive LED display controller, brought to market by Azar Pixel, and the latest model in NovaStar's renowned COEX series engineered for versatility, supporting both All-In-One and Send-Only Controller modes to adapt to diverse LED display requirements. 

With a maximum loading capacity of 3.9 million pixels, the KU20 delivers sharp visuals and reliable performance for both creative and traditional LED display configurations. 

Advanced features such as image scaling (custom or pixel-to-pixel), full grayscale calibration, pixel-level brightness and chroma correction, and its perfect low latency (zero frame and less than 1ms) make it ideal for demanding environments like live events and fine-pitch displays. 

This fantastic device supports Armor (AXs) series of NovaStar receiving cards like A10s Pro series, A8s Pro series, A8s series, A8s-N, A7s Plus, and A5s Plus receiving cards, breaking the limitations of rectangular LED screens by mapping any desired topologies and irregular shape of displays (with No waste of loading capacity). Without doubt, the best match to this controller will be A10s Pro (enabling 10-bit output, full grayscale calibration and frame rate adaptive).

Its HDMI 1.3 input (while providing an HDMI Loop port for cascaded devices), supports resolutions up to 1920×1200@60Hz, with flexible scaling for ultra-wide or tall screens (max width: 3840 and max height: 2560). Six Gigabit Ethernet ports and a 10G optical output ensure fast, stable data transmission, even for large installations.

Taking advantage of its optical port, when combined with CVT10 fiber converter, you can enjoy a noise-free long distance data transmission (up to 10km) to control and light up a 1080P LED screen. Thanks to its dual Gigabit Ethernet control ports, and its bult-in switching function, one can cascade up to 20 unites of this powerful device to run any multi-screen or complex display adjustments, required for large and extensive rental or fixed LED setups. 

Thanks to its new VMP control software, users not only can customize many display parameters for seam adjustments, such as brightness, color temperature, and gamma of any selection of cabinets in a very simple and quick manner (even for group of cascaded units), but also, they can save each, as a unique preset and apply one of these 128 saved presets just by one click. 

All these features, in addition to Its compact, rack-mountable design and broad certification (CCC, CE, FCC, IC, UL, CB, PSE, RCM, EAC, KC) have made the KU20 a smart, very popular and cost-effective choice for professional LED display projects.
