Introduction

The MCTRL700 is an LED display controller developed by NovaStar. It supports 1x DVI input, 1x HDMI input, 1x audio input, and 6x Ethernet outputs. The maximum loading capacity of a single MCTRL700 is 1920×1200@60Hz. The MCTRL700 communicates with the PC via a Type-B USB port. Multiple MCTRL700 units can be cascaded via the UART port.

The MCTRL700 can be mainly used in rental and fixed applications, such as concerts, live events, security monitoring centers, Olympic Games, and various sports centers.

Features

  • 3x Input connectors
    − 1x SL-DVI (IN-OUT)
    − 1x HDMI 1.3 (IN-OUT)
    − 1x AUDIO
  • 6x Gigabit Ethernet outputs
  • 1x Type-B USB control port
  • 2x UART control ports
    Used for device cascading. Up to 20 devices can be cascaded.
  • Pixel level brightness and chroma calibration
    Working with NovaLCT and NovaCLB, the controller supports brightness and chroma calibration on each LED, which can effectively remove color discrepancies and greatly improve LED display brightness and chroma consistency, allowing for better image quality
