How many pixels can the NovaStar VX4S-N 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 VX4S-N 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 VX4S-N?

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.
