What is the NovaStar MX_4 DP1.2 Input Card for?
Choose this card when a workstation, graphics engine or media server provides four separate DisplayPort source paths to an available IN slot of NovaStar MX2000 Pro or MX6000 Pro. The signal path is source → input card → MX chassis → output card, receiving cards and LED wall.
It is an input card, not a controller or LED-output expansion: four DP connectors do not create four LED outputs, increase wall pixel capacity or make an unsupported receiving card compatible.
NovaStar MX_4 DP1.2 Input Card specifications: four DP inputs and 4K60
Each of the four DP 1.2 inputs is documented for 4096 × 2160@60 Hz or forced 8192 × 1080@60 Hz. EDID/custom resolution management and HDCP 2.3 backward compatibility are documented, while interlaced input is not supported.
This is the high-density four-source 4K60 choice, not a single 8K60 input card. The current MX6000 V1.5.0 table does not list HDR10/HLG, and NovaStar documents DP cable support up to 5 m.
Can MX_4 DP1.2 fit your MX2000 Pro or MX6000 Pro source plan?
Yes, when an IN slot is available and the host, input-card model, slot number and firmware match the VMP project. MX2000 Pro has two input-card slots and MX6000 Pro has eight; this four-input card still consumes only one slot, but it does not bypass the host’s output-card or screen-map limits.
How four DP sources reach the LED wall through an MX chassis
Four computer, graphics-engine or media-server feeds can stay separate at the input stage for VMP layer assignment before they continue through the MX chassis to the output-card and receiving-card path. Check each source’s EDID response, forced mode and 5 m cable route.
The input card consolidates source ingest; it does not decide LED-side capacity. Do not sell an HDR workflow from this card alone because the current MX6000 V1.5.0 input-card table does not list HDR10/HLG.
MX_4 DP1.2 vs MX_2xDP1.4 and the single 8K60 DP card
Choose MX_4 DP1.2 for four DP 4K60-class feeds. Choose MX_2xDP1.4 for two DP 8K30-class sources, or MX_1xDP 1.4 8K60 for one DP source at 8K60. The choice is source density versus per-source resolution and refresh, not LED output count.
NovaStar MX_4 DP1.2 Input Card Manual, PDF and VMP Software
Use the model-named download page as the starting point, then verify the shared MX6000 Pro V1.5.0 input-card specification, the manual for the actual MX host and the matching VMP project version. The current card table does not list HDR10/HLG or a separate card-only firmware package.

MX_4 DP1.2 Input Card buying and commissioning FAQs
Is HDR10 or HLG confirmed for this card?
Not in the current MX6000 Pro V1.5.0 input-card table. Confirm any required HDR workflow in current official host documentation.
Can this card take interlaced DP video?
No. The official card table lists interlaced signals as unsupported.
Do four DP inputs equal four LED outputs?
No. They are four source inputs on one card. Downstream LED outputs are a separate MX host/output-card decision.
When should I choose dual DP 1.4?
Choose it when two DP sources need 8K30-class modes. Choose this model when four 4K60-class DP sources are the real requirement.
MX_4 DP1.2 Input Card order check
Before requesting a quote, confirm the four DP source modes, the MX host slot, the cable routes and the current HDR requirement for the LED system:
- List all four DP source modes
- Confirm 4K60/ultrawide is the real requirement
- Confirm no unverified HDR claim is needed
- Check EDID/HDCP and cable routes
- Confirm MX slot and VMP/host/card versions
Send us the four DP source formats, required refresh rates, host model and receiving-card or screen plan through our contact page. We can then confirm the correct input-card path before you order.
