MEGRA guidance

MCTRL300 for LED display projects in Malaysia

Short buyer notes from MEGRA (MTV Digital Technology Sdn Bhd, Port Klang). Specs above stay as published. Use this section only to decide fit and next step.

Best for

LED display projects that need a dedicated sending / controller unit to drive receiving cards — fixed installs, stage, and commercial screens.

When to use

Choose MCTRL300 when your system design calls for a classic Novastar sending controller (loading reference: 2048×668@60Hz), paired with matching receiving cards — not a standalone media-only player.

What it connects to

Novastar receiving cards over Ethernet, and the upstream source / computer side of your control setup. Exact ports follow the product specs above.
