XA50 Pro

Manufacturer: NovaStar
Fully verified 5G Series Manufacturer class: Receiving Card

The XA50 Pro is a high-end 5G receiving card in NovaStar's COEX series control system. For 8bit and 10bit video sources and PWM driver ICs a single card supports resolutions up to 1024×512@60Hz (620×512@60Hz for 12bit sources); it uses DDR3 connectors and handles up to 40 groups of parallel RGB data or 64 groups of serial data, with LVDS transmission supported.

Best suited for

  • Driving a cabinet or module group of up to 1,024 × 512 pixels with a single card.
  • High-density systems on 5 Gbps links (with a controller of the same speed class).
  • Permanent installations that need temperature / voltage monitoring.

Key features (manufacturer)

  • Up to 1024×512@60Hz for 8bit and 10bit video sources with PWM driver ICs; up to 620×512@60Hz for 12bit video sources
  • 5G receiving card with DDR3 connectors; up to 40 groups of parallel RGB data or 64 groups of serial data, plus LVDS transmission
  • Adaptive Thermal Compensation, Dynamic Booster, Full-Grayscale Calibration and Image Booster (color management, precise grayscale, 22bit+)
  • HDR10 (SMPTE ST 2084 and SMPTE ST 2086) and HLG
  • Frame Rate Adaptive 3.0 for input frame rates from 23 Hz to 240 Hz; Shutter Fit for camera shooting in xR scenarios
  • Multi-Mode, Brightness Overdrive, and Seam Correction with Mobile Phones (requires TU series products)
  • Latency on the receiving card end can be reduced to 1 frame (modules with driver ICs with built-in RAM)
  • Dual card backup, loop backup, dual backup of configuration parameters and dual program backup

Capacity and loading area

The card receives data over the Ethernet chain and drives the module group inside this area. The cabinet/module load cannot exceed this area or the capacity of 524,288 px.
