Novastar VX4S software setup tutorial (user manual)

VX4S has powerful functions but is simple to operate. A variety of operations can be completed with a single rotation button and return key. The design of multiple shortcut keys makes the operation more concise and efficient.

Generally speaking, after following the following four basic steps (input settings → screen settings → brightness → output settings), the LED display can be used normally with moderate brightness. Other menus such as screen control, advanced settings, etc. can better help users control the LED screen.

We will introduce the details of the four basic operation steps one by one.

Note: This user manual describes VX4S, but it also applies to VX4

Step 1: Input Settings

Set the resolution of the input source signal. The resolutions of digital input interfaces DVI, HDMI and DP can be directly set and changed. Note that the resolution can only be modified using other input methods on the input device. There are currently two ways to set the resolution:

Method 1: Default resolution

If the controller has a preset resolution, you can select it directly. If not, choose the second method to customize the resolution.

Novastar VX4S Input Settings
Novastar VX4S Input Settings
Method 2: Custom Resolution

After setting the horizontal and vertical resolution and Custom Refresh Rate, select “Apply” and press the knob to save. If “Apply” is not selected to save, the set information will not be applied.

Novastar VX4S Custom Resolution
Novastar VX4S Custom Resolution

Step 2: Screen Settings

You can quickly set up regular screens, that is, the screen and the cabinet must be regular rectangles (not irregularly shaped), and the sizes of the cabinets must be the same. Methods as below:

Step (1). Power on the screen. If the cabinet display is normal, go to step 2. If the cabinet display is abnormal, load the cabinet file first and save it to the receiving card. For detailed operations, you can view the advanced settings;

Step (2). Return to the submenu of “Screen Settings”. When we rotate the button, we can switch to the submenu of other options for configuration, as shown in the figure below:

Novastar VX4S Screen Settings
Novastar VX4S Screen Settings

Step (3). Set the number of rows and columns of the cabinet according to the actual situation of the screen;

Step (4). Set the number of Port1 cabinets. The equipment has a certain limit on the number of ports that the cabinet can carry. If the number is exceeded, the number of controllers needs to be increased.

Step (5). Set up the data flow (front view). Please note the following notes on screen settings c), d) and e).

Setp3: Brightness

Return to the main menu interface. Press the button to select the corresponding brightness value, or rotate the button to adjust the value.

Setp4: Output Settings

Output settings are divided into three situations:
First : Disable [Scale] and use the original scaled output, that is, the output image and the input image are the same size.
If the resolution input in a certain direction is smaller than the resolution of the LED display, the LED display in that direction may not light up;
If the input resolution is greater than the resolution of the LED display in a certain direction, the content input in that direction may not be fully displayed.
This option is mainly used in point-to-point display application scenarios. We can set the horizontal offset and vertical offset of the image as needed. At this time, the content displayed on the LED display may move to the left or top. [Zoom] is disabled at this time.

Original Resolution VS Scales To A Different Resolution
Original Resolution VS Scales To A Different Resolution

Second: automatic adjustment. At this time, both [Scale] and [Auto Adjust] are enabled.

Because the scaling and auto-adjustment functions have been enabled, the input content will adapt to the size of the LED display. This mode is best used when you need to play content in full screen.

Third: Custom scaling. At this time, [Zoom] is enabled and [Auto Adjustment] is disabled. Custom scaling should take the following steps:

Step (1). Set the captured picture, that is, capture part of the picture from a starting point of the input image and display it on the LED display. Generally, it is necessary to set Horizontal Res, Vertical Res, horizontal X and vertical Y. It should be noted that the set resolution cannot be greater than the resolution of the LED display.

Novastar VX4S Custom Scaling
Novastar VX4S Custom Scaling

Step (2). Set the output window, and the window size should not be larger than the LED display size; after setting the window, the image can only adapt to the display size within the window range. This option is suitable for application scenarios that require reserving borders on the LED display or limiting the playback area.

After following the above two steps, the collected content will only be input and displayed in the area set on the LED display, as shown below:

Input Source And LED Display
Input Source And LED Display

Image Mosaic

When the display screen is too large and exceeds the controllable range of the processor, two or more VX4S need to be cascaded to splice and display the large-screen images. The splicing method of the images is: equal or unequal.

Equally Divided: Each VX4S has the same load area. Just set the total pixels, rows and columns of the large screen and the serial number of each VX4S.

Equal Division
VX4VX4S
Total Width Pixels3000
Total Height Pixels1000
Mosaic Row Qty1
Mosaic Column Qty2
Load Area Position12

Unequal Division: Each VX4S can have different load areas. It is necessary to set the total pixels and loading area size of each VX4S and the starting position of the loading area.

Unequal Division
VX4VX4S
Total Width Pixels3000
Total Height Pixels1000
Load Area Width1500
Load Area Height1000
Load Area Start X01500
Load Area Start Y0

Image mosaic example: If the total pixels of the LED display are 3000*1000, which exceeds the carrying capacity of a single VX4S, then we can use the Image Mosaic processing function of two VX4S to deal with this problem.

When setting detailed parameters, please select Equal Division or Unequal Division. Specific parameter settings can be viewed in the table above.

Advanced Settings

Advanced settings include setting options for several main functions, as shown in the figure below. The following will introduce the operation of each function in detail to users.
