Novastar NCE Online Training | 01.Basic Knowledge of Nova Control System

Описание: 📚 Learn the Fundamentals of NovaStar LED Control Systems in This Comprehensive Beginner Tutorial

Are you new to LED control systems or NovaStar products? This video is your complete introduction to the basic knowledge of NovaStar control systems, including how LED cabinets are structured, how sending and receiving cards interact, and how to calculate pixel resolutions and system loading capacity.

This is the first course of the NovaStar NCE (NovaStar Certified Engineer) training series — designed to help LED engineers and technicians become proficient in designing, deploying, and maintaining NovaStar-based LED display systems.

📘 What You'll Learn in This Training Video:
🔹1. Introduction to NCE Training
What is the NovaStar Certified Engineer (NCE) program?

Structure of the NCE course (8 modules + final exam)

How to earn an online certification

Course goals and benefits for LED professionals

🔹2. Understanding the LED Cabinet Structure
What is an LED module and how is it built?

Differences between DIP and SMD module types

How multiple LED modules form an LED cabinet

The role of receiving cards and hub cards in each cabinet

🔹3. How to Build an LED Screen
Assembling multiple LED cabinets to create a full LED screen

The concept of rows and columns

When and why multiple receiving cards are needed in one cabinet

🔹4. NovaStar LED Control System Architecture
Complete control signal flow:

Control PC → Sending Controller → Receiving Cards → Display

Required cables: USB, HDMI, DVI, DP, and Ethernet

System configuration with and without a video processor

The need for scaling when video source resolution ≠ screen resolution

🔹5. Resolution, Bandwidth & Loading Capacity Explained
Why pixel resolution, not cabinet size, determines system load

Common screen resolutions from Full HD to 4K

Video bandwidth limits and how they impact the control system

🔹6. Pixel & Cabinet Resolution Calculations
Formula to calculate cabinet pixel resolution:
Width / Pixel Pitch × Height / Pixel Pitch = Pixel Resolution
How to determine how many cabinets can be loaded by one output port

Example calculation using MCTRL300 with 650,000 pixel limit per port

🔹7. Effect of Frame Rate and Color Depth on Capacity
Loading capacity varies with:

Frame rate (e.g., 60Hz vs 50Hz)

Color depth (8-bit vs 10-bit vs 12-bit)

Example:

At 60Hz, 8-bit RGB = 650,000 pixels

At 60Hz, 10-bit = ~325,000 pixels

🔹8. Real-World Project Case Study
Analyzing a client case with a 1920×1152 LED screen

Issues with overload per port and how to fix it

Understanding “image pixel loading capacity” — it must form a rectangular block

Designing a port distribution that stays within load limits

🔹9. Key Takeaways and Summary
Understand LED module/cabinet/screen hierarchy

Learn complete NovaStar system architecture

Know how to calculate pixel and loading capacity

Design valid screen connections that meet hardware limits
