How many pixels can the NovaStar VX4 drive?

2,300,000 pixels in total, across 4 outputs carrying up to 650,000 pixels each. Both limits apply — filling every port does not unlock more than the total.

How many cabinets does the NovaStar VX4 drive?

INFiLED IRWT0.93-SSC (0.93 mm): 8 cabinets; INFiLED IRWK1.5 (1.56 mm): 27 cabinets; Planar VPI-2.3VX (2.3148 mm): 49 cabinets; AOTO SW3.7 (3.75 mm): 44 cabinets; Samsung IS059C-BL (5.9 mm): 325 cabinets. The exact figure depends on the cabinet's pixel count.

Which panels work with the NovaStar VX4?

Any cabinet whose receiving card speaks the NovaStar protocol, within the capacity above. Most manufacturers fit the card the customer orders, so confirm the ecosystem with your supplier.
