Introduction

The J6 is a NovaStar’s high-performance seamless switcher that integrates video processing, screen mosaic,transition effects and multi-screen display capabilities. The J6 offers powerful video signal receiving and processing abilities and supports up to 8 inputs with the resolution up to 4K×2K@30Hz and 6 layers. In addition, this product
supports two system modes: Splicer and Switcher. When it is in Splicer mode, a maximum of 4 DVI output connectors can be used together for output, which can realize an up to 8KK loading capacity of each J6 unit. When it is in Switcher mode, a maximum of 2 DVI output connectors can be used together for output, which can realize an up to
4KK loading capacity of each J6 unit.

Based on a powerful FPGA platform, the J6 supports input and output EDID management and color adjustment, seamless transition on a variety of input sources, as well as fade and other transition effects, bringing you a more flexible and rich visual experience.

What’s more, the J6 is equipped with NovaStar’s smart control software V-Can and C1 event controller, allowing for a rich screen mosaic effect via V-Can, C1 or front panel operations. With excellent image quality, ultra-large loading capacity and flexible operation modes, the J6 can be widely used in conference reports, exhibition centers, stage control and other application scenarios.
