CX40Pro - 4K LED display controller

4K LED display controller

The CX40 Pro is a 4K LED display controller in the brand-new control system COEX series of Xi’an NovaStar Tech Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as NovaStar). This controller offers rich video input connectors (HDMI 2.0, DP 1.2 and 12G-SDI) and supports 5Gbps output via Ethernet port and 40Gbps remote transmission via optical port.

The CX40 Pro can also work with the brand-new software VMP (Vision Management Platform) to provide a better operation and control experience. Featuring a 5.5-inch touch LCD, it makes user operation and control much easier.
