Quick Start Guide


Independent Controller
The MCTRL660 PRO is a professional controller developed by NovaStar. A single MCTRL660 PRO has a loading capacity of up to 1920×1200@60Hz. It
supports custom resolutions with the width up to 3840 pixels and height up to 2560 pixels, which meets configuration requirement of ultra-large screens.
The MCTRL660 PRO is mainly used for the rental and fixed fields, such as concerts, live events, security monitoring centers, Olympic Games and various
sports centers.
Features
•Input of ultra-high color depths: 10-bit/12-bit RGB 4:4:4/YCbCr 4:4:4, with
input resolutions up to 1920×1080@60Hz, increasing color expression
capabilities by 4096 times compared to 8-bit inputs, and presenting images
with rich and delicate colors, smoother transitions, as well as clearer details
•Supports individual Gamma adjustment for RGB when the color depth of
input source is 10-bit or 12-bit, which effectively controls image non-uniformity
under low grayscale and white balance offset to improve image quality.
•Low latency: Less than 1 ms (when the start position of image is 0.)
•Dual working modes: working as sending card and fiber converter
