LED Screen Display NOVASTAR control card setup (configure)-asynchronous type
NOVASTAR control card setup (configure)-asynchronous type

NOVASTAR control cards are more and more popular for that they can provide higher refresh rate and processing depth (grey level) especially in the application of small pixel pitch LED display screens.
Just like any led display control system, sometimes after long time of operation, the control card may lose the configuration file (“.rcfg” file if NOVASTAR) and couldn’t get it from the original supplier. In this case, you’d need to set the parameters in the program, and configure the new file.

 

Here we will explain how to configure this file.

1. Collect basic tech parameters of the led display hardware.
For instance, here we have two led cabinets with P10 SMD LED modules, then we install asynchronous NOVASTAR control cards, one sending card, two receive cards on them. 
And I connect the sending card to the laptop with net cable.

And the basic tech parameters of this led display are: 

a. This P10 SMD LED screen consists of 2 cabinets. When I face it, the signal transfer sequence is from right to left.
b. Each cabinet consists of 9 modules 3(W)*3(H).
c. The size of each LED module is 320mm X 320mm, with resolution of 32pixels X 32 pixels.
d. The resolution of this LED screen is 192 pixels X 96 pixels.

2. Install the software of NOVASTAR control system.
NovaLCT-Pluto and Pluto Manager is the software that you need to install for NOVASTAR asynchronous control system.
Note: NOVASTAR synchronous control system and asynchronous control system use different software. Refer below:

3. Configure the NOVASTAR asynchronous control card.
a. Open the software NovaLCT-Pluto, connect the sending card to the laptop with net cable. And click “Search All Site(S)”.
NOVASTAR <wbr>control <wbr>card <wbr>setup <wbr>(configure)-asynchronous <wbr>type
Probably you would not find the sending card.
NOVASTAR <wbr>control <wbr>card <wbr>setup <wbr>(configure)-asynchronous <wbr>type
So you’d need to check the IP of the Laptop, and change it to be “
192.168.0. XXX” - the IP of the laptop must be in the same net segment with the IP of the sending card, so that the communication between them (computer and control card) could happen.
Here I change the IP address of my laptop as below:
NOVASTAR <wbr>control <wbr>card <wbr>setup <wbr>(configure)-asynchronous <wbr>type
And also change the relevant place in the software:
NOVASTAR <wbr>control <wbr>card <wbr>setup <wbr>(configure)-asynchronous <wbr>type
NOVASTAR <wbr>control <wbr>card <wbr>setup <wbr>(configure)-asynchronous <wbr>type
Now search the control card again, and this time you could find it. 
NOVASTAR <wbr>control <wbr>card <wbr>setup <wbr>(configure)-asynchronous <wbr>type
NOVASTAR <wbr>control <wbr>card <wbr>setup <wbr>(configure)-asynchronous <wbr>type
Click “connect terminal”, the laptop will be connected with the sending card.

Note: The default IP address of sending card is “192.168.0.208” which is defined in the factory, usually we don’t change it.

b. User login. Key in password “admin”, and you would enter the “screen config” interface.
NOVASTAR <wbr>control <wbr>card <wbr>setup <wbr>(configure)-asynchronous <wbr>type
NOVASTAR <wbr>control <wbr>card <wbr>setup <wbr>(configure)-asynchronous <wbr>type
After User Login, we can start to configure the control card.
NOVASTAR <wbr>control <wbr>card <wbr>setup <wbr>(configure)-asynchronous <wbr>type
Enter “smart setting” interface. 
NOVASTAR <wbr>control <wbr>card <wbr>setup <wbr>(configure)-asynchronous <wbr>type

c. Start “smart setting”. Here you need to input the basic tech parameters of the LED screen.
NOVASTAR <wbr>control <wbr>card <wbr>setup <wbr>(configure)-asynchronous <wbr>type
NOVASTAR <wbr>control <wbr>card <wbr>setup <wbr>(configure)-asynchronous <wbr>type

Chip type: choose “common chip”.
Actual pixel: That’s the LED module resolution. As mentioned above, in this sample, each LED module is 32pixels X 32 pixels.
Scan type: It’s OK to choose “unknown” if you don’t know it. (Actually there’s simple way to know the scan type. If you want to learn this, please contact us.)
Cols: each cabinet has 3X3 modules. So key in 3, 3. 
Module cascade type (from the front): We explained at the first step, when watch from the front, the signal transfer sequence is from right to left.

After you’ve filled all those tech parameters, press “Next”

4. In following steps, you need to watch the LED screen’s change, and then make the right choice of what you see.
