Description
NovaStar VX600 Pro at a Glance
The NovaStar VX600 Pro is a 4K all-in-one LED video processor and controller that combines video processing, scaling and LED display control in a single chassis. It is designed for medium- to high-end rental displays, stage systems, fine-pitch LED walls, and ultra-wide or ultra-tall canvases that need 4K60 input, multi-layer layouts, fiber connectivity and dependable on-site control.
The controller loads up to 3.9 million pixels through 6 Gigabit Ethernet outputs. It accepts up to 4096 x 2160@60Hz through HDMI 2.0, provides 6 x 2K layer resources, stores up to 256 presets, and supports USB playback, NovaLCT, Unico and VICP.

Important Configuration Limits
The VX600 Pro is flexible, but several limits matter when planning a system:
- ByPass mode: Video processing is unavailable when the unit works as an independent LED display controller in ByPass mode.
- Low latency: Cabinets loaded by the Ethernet ports must align at the top of the screen’s circumscribed rectangle. In ByPass mode, low latency and Genlock cannot be enabled at the same time.
- 3D output: Enabling 3D with Side-by-Side or Top-and-Bottom sources halves the device output capacity.
- Optical modules: They are not installed at the factory. NovaStar specifies up to 10 km with compatible single-mode twin-core modules or up to 300 m with compatible multi-mode twin-core modules.
- Certifications: The manufacturer specification lists CE, FCC, IC, RCM, EAC, UL, CB, KC and RoHS. Confirm the certification required for the destination country or region before ordering.
USB Playback, Software and Reliability
USB playback supports a single-partition drive formatted as NTFS, FAT32 or exFAT. Supported image formats include JPG, JPEG, PNG and BMP; MP4 video with H.264 or H.265 encoding is supported within the limits in the specification. The USB source resolution is fixed at 1920 x
Operators can control the unit from the front panel, NovaLCT, the browser-based Unico interface or the VICP app. Reliability functions include backup between devices, input sources, Ethernet ports and optical connections, Ethernet-port backup testing, output synchronization, and restoration of saved settings after a normal shutdown or unexpected power loss.
Price, Availability and What to Confirm Before Ordering
NovaStar VX600 Pro pricing and lead time depend on current stock, destination and the required accessories. Request a current quotation instead of relying on an outdated list price.
For an accurate recommendation, send our team the following project details:
- Total LED screen resolution and pixel count
- Source resolution, frame rate and connector type
- Required number and arrangement of video layers
- Fiber distance and preferred optical module type, if fiber is needed
- Destination country, delivery deadline and required certifications
You can also compare other LED video processors, browse the NovaStar product range, or review the NovaStar VX1000 Pro when the project needs a higher loading capacity.
