What is the NovaStar MX_4 10G Fiber Output Card-M for?
This card gives a modular MX controller four optical distribution legs for a 1G COEX design. It does not turn the controller into four new video processors or replace the CVT10/receiving-card endpoint hardware.
| Planning point 1 | Four 10G SFP+ optical outputs from one MX2000 Pro or MX6000 Pro OUT slot. |
|---|---|
| Planning point 2 | For the documented 1G COEX architecture with CVT10/CVT10 Pro and 1G receiving cards. |
| Planning point 3 | Each optical leg carries the load of ten 1G Ethernet ports; one card supports up to 40 logical 1G outputs. |
| Planning point 4 | The catalog M configuration is for multimode fiber, with a documented multimode maximum of 300 m. |
Can MX2000 Pro or MX6000 Pro accept this 4×10G output card?
The verified hosts are MX2000 Pro and MX6000 Pro, using an OUT slot. Count the available slots, input-card plan and other output-card requirements before selecting a four-leg distribution card.
How four 10G fiber legs reach CVT10 and 1G receiving cards
Each 10G optical port is part of the documented 1G solution: card to CVT10 or CVT10 Pro, then to 1G receiver/cabinet paths. A single card can represent up to forty logical 1G Ethernet outputs, organized as ten per optical leg.
- MX2000 Pro or MX6000 Pro OUT slot
- MX_4 10G Fiber Output Card-M
- four 10G multimode SFP+ fiber links
- CVT10 or CVT10 Pro endpoints
- 1G receiving-card and cabinet data paths
MX_4 10G Fiber Output Card-M multimode reach: use 300 m as a route check
The shared 10G table documents multimode transmission to 300 m. This suits a local machine room, stage or nearby building route when the installed fiber, SFP+ optic, connectors and loss budget are confirmed; do not use the number as a substitute for the route survey.
MX_4 10G Fiber Output Card-M 1G load and per-port cabinet mapping
At 60 Hz, the shared table lists 659,722 pixels per 1G port at 8-bit, 494,791 at 10-bit with A10s Pro or A8s Pro, and 329,861 at 10/12-bit. Check each chain and the whole-card maximum after deciding the actual bit depth and receiving card.
MX_4 10G Fiber Output Card-M vs one 40G 5G output path
Choose four 10G legs when the endpoints are separate 1G/CVT10 zones. Choose a 1x40G card only when the design is a 5G/CVT8-5G path. The number of fiber links is secondary to the receiver architecture.
NovaStar MX_4 10G Fiber Output Card-M Manual, PDF and VMP Software
Use the model-named download page as the starting point, then verify the shared MX6000 Pro family specification, the manual for the actual MX host and the VMP project version. The output-card PDF is a family reference, not a stand-alone card manual.

MX_4 10G Fiber Output Card-M buying and installation FAQs
Does this card create four 5G receiving-card paths?
No. NovaStar documents the 4x10G output card as the 1G solution with CVT10 or CVT10 Pro and 1G receiving cards.
How many cabinet Ethernet paths can one card support?
Up to 40 logical 1G Ethernet-port outputs are documented: ten per 10G optical port. Every one still has to stay inside the relevant per-port load limit.
Can every 1G receiver use 10-bit at 60 Hz at the higher 494,791-pixel limit?
No. The higher 10-bit value is documented only with A10s Pro or A8s Pro. Identify the receiving card before setting the port map.
How far can multimode fiber run?
300 m maximum, according to the shared 10G output-card table. Confirm the actual SFP+ optic, fiber plant, connector condition and loss budget for each of the four legs.
Can this card and a 1x40G card drive one screen together?
No. The modular MX documentation allows different card types in a host but says 1G and 5G Ethernet-port bandwidths cannot load the same screen.
MX_4 10G Fiber Output Card-M order check
Before requesting a quote, confirm the MX host and OUT slot, all four CVT10/1G endpoint paths, the multimode fiber routes and the per-port load map:
- The selected host and free slot are verified for MX_4 10G Fiber Output Card-M.
- The complete physical route is documented: MX2000 Pro or MX6000 Pro OUT slot → MX_4 10G Fiber Output Card-M → four 10G multimode SFP+ fiber links → CVT10 or CVT10 Pro endpoints → 1G receiving-card and cabinet data paths.
- The catalog M configuration is for multimode fiber, with a documented multimode maximum of 300 m.
- The VMP project, host firmware, card firmware, receiving-card firmware and cabinet files are matched before commissioning.
Send us the host model, free OUT slot, CVT10 endpoint and receiving-card models, four fiber distances, cabinet map and bit-depth target through our contact page. We can then confirm the 1G output path before you order.
