V1.2.02020-07-08

 Added the hot backup verification function.
 Changed the minimum width of the Ethernet port loading capacityfrom 256 pixels to 128 pixels.
 Changed the number of receiving cards loaded by each Ethernet port

from 1024 to 512.
 Fixed the problem that the backup between Ethernet ports 5 and 6

does not take effect.

.
DT Changed the Ethernet ports that support audio output from Ethernetports 1–3 to Ethernet ports 1–2.

TSAIntroduction

V

The MCTRL700 is an LED display controller developed by NovaStar. It supports 1x DVI input, 1x HDMI input, 1xaudio input, and 6x Ethernet outputs. The maximum loading capacity of a single MCTRL700 is 1920×1200@60Hz.

OThe MCTRL700 communicates with PC via Type-B USB port. Multiple MCTRL700 units can be cascaded via UARTport.

N

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

Pixel level brightness and chroma calibration
Working with NovaLCT and NovaCLB, thecontroller 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.
