Novastar MX40 Pro LED Display Controller
The MX40 Pro is a flagship all-in-one LED display controller with 20 Ethernet ports in the brand-new control system COEX series of Xi’an NovaStar Tech Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as NovaStar). This controller integrates video processing and video control into one box and offers rich video input connectors (HDMI 2.0, DP 1.2 and 12G-SDI), 20x Ethernet output ports and 4x 10G optical ports. It can also work with the brand-new software VMP (Vision Management Platform) to provide a better operation and control experience.
What is VMP?
VMP is an all-new display control software that integrates design, management, and monitoring into one single platform. When paired with the flagship MX Series controller and A10s Pro receiving card, an incredibly professional LED solution is realized, providing stunning image quality, precise color adjustment, and an intuitive software experience. This represents a totally new solution for managing high-end applications such as fine-pitch LED installation, studio broadcasting, touring, corporate events, virtual production and E-sports.
Dual boosters for exceptional image display
Utilizing Image Booster 2.0 and Dynamic Booster, grayscale performance, color performance and contrast ratio are dramatically improved.
Fine grayscale
22bit+, 64 times grayscale improvement, 0.002nits precise control, ultra-precise image for stunning realism.
More realistic color
Fully automated color standardization, calibration and verification, self-adapts to color gamut, △E<2.
Higher contrast ratio
By enhancing bright and dark content details to the idea level, an SDR source can deliver HDR-like effect, ensuring no overexposure in bright areas and no loss of detail in shadows.
Power saving with dynamic algorithm
With real-time analysis, brightness is adjusted dynamically frame by frame, saving 20%-40% power, extending the lifespan of an LED display.
HDR10 4:4:4
The only comprehensive 4K@60Hz 10bit 4:4:4 solution in the industry presents an ideal environment for virtual production that puts you in the scene, representing a new evolution in HDR applications.
Flexible frame rate for smoother visuals
Supports 240Hz high frame rate, frame multiplication, frame multiplexing and adaptive frame rate, providing a super smooth filming.
Color Replacement
Supports unrestricted color replacement, with minimal impact on other colors.
14CH Color CorrectionnPrecise adjustment of hue, saturation, and brightness of primary, secondary and tertiary colors, with basic adjustment of black and white, ensuring perfect colors that retain their intended beauty.
Color adjustment for creative scenes
Curve adjustment and importing of 3D LUT files let you manage color in creative and artistic ways, just like a Hollywood colorist.
Contrast & Black level for impressive details
Allows independent adjustment of highlights and shadows by contrast and black level, avoiding overexposure in bright content but delivering rich details in dark content.
Quick and easy screen mapping
Screen mapping can be done easily on the software canvas with a mouse. Auto detection of connected cabinets and exporting of screen mapping file in advance serve to greatly increase operational efficiency.
Free from rectangular calculation, maximizing the capacity
Loading capacity is calculated by the physical cabinet pixels, free from rectangular limitation, helping maximize the loading capacity of controllers. No more capacity waste from leaving blank or irregular shape designs. Create without limits!
Finder tool for quick adjustment
With the finder tool, cabinets and controllers can be located quickly. After receiving command from VMP software, LED screen will show the position of specific cabinets and controllers accurately, making relevant adjustment much quicker and easier.
Group management made easy
All devices are grouped by screens, making multiple screen management easier and more efficient than before.
Visualized seam correction
Seam correction can be completed rapidly with an interactive and visualized design. Visually locate and select the seams simply by using a cursor, then directly view the screen to adjust the seams in the software, greatly improving efficiency.
Scenario presets
Save all parameters of inputs and outputs into presets, providing quick and easy retrieval with a single click.
What you see is what you get
Canvas monitor and source preview allow for recognition of screen display status in real time and easy fitting of content to screen.
Super smooth shooting
Supports phase offset and shutter fit, allowing the LED display to automatically adapt to camera exposure time and frequency, alleviating black field and scan lines from being captured by the camera when shooting the LED display.

Advanced Features
- 4 independent layers
Support up to 4x 4K layers and layer priority adjustment in Z order. - Image scaling
Support 3 image scaling modes: custom, pixel to pixel, and snap to canvas. - Color Replacement
Support free replacement of any color on the image without affecting the performance of other colors. Replacement of highly saturated colors is recommended for better effect. - 14Ch Color Correction
Support precise adjustment to hue, saturation and brightness of black, white and the 12 derived standard colors of the red, green and blue primary colors. - Curves
Support adjustment to the image RGBW mapping curves. - 3D LUT
The 17×17×17 3D LUT .cube files are supported to adjust the video source colors. - Dynamic Booster
Real-time analysis and dynamic adjustment are made to each frame to significantly improve the display contrast and image details for better visual experience, and effectively control and lower the display power consumption, extending the service life of the LED screen. - Full Grayscale Calibration
Work with NovaStar’s high-precision calibration system and the C3200 scientific grade camera to generate unique calibration coefficients for each grayscale, ensuring uniformity of each grayscale and dramatically improving the image quality. - HDR
− Support HDR10 and comply with the SMPTE
ST 2084 and SMPTE ST 2086 standards.
− Support HLG. - Latency
− Support low latency and the controller load capacity is not reduced. The latency at the controller is 0 frame (less than 1 ms) in SendOnly Controller working mode and 1 frame in All-In-One Controller working mode.
− Support additional latency. Zero to two frames of latency can be added at the controller. - 3D
Work with the specified receiving cards, 3D emitter and 3D glasses to bring a fascinating and immersive 3D viewing experience. - Frame Rate Adaptive
The controller can be adaptive to various video input frame rates, including decimal frame rates. Custom frame rates are also supported and the step size of fine tuning frame rate is as small as 0.01 Hz. - Two working modes
Support the All-In-One Controller and Send-Only Controller working modes.
− In the Send-Only Controller mode, the latency can be reduced by one frame.
