Best for
LED display projects that need a dedicated sending / controller unit to drive receiving cards — fixed installs, stage, and commercial screens.
MCTRL700 is a video controller developed by NovaStar. It supports 1x DVI input, 1× HDMI input, 1× audio input, and 6 Ethernet outputs. A single unit can load 1920×1200@60Hz.
MCTRL700 utilizes USB IN to connect with a PC, and serial UART to perform cascading. MCTRL700 is mainly suitable for applications in the rental and fixed installation sectors, such as concerts, live broadcasting, monitoring centers, Olympic events, sports arenas, and more.
Supports 3 types of inputs:
● 1×SL-DVI(IN-OUT)
● 1×HDMI 1.3(IN-OUT)
● 1×AUDIO
● 8bit video source loading capacity of 1920×1200@60Hz.
● 12bit video source loading capacity of 1440×900@60Hz
● Supports 6x 1G network port outputs.
● Supports 1× USB control port
● Supports 2× UART control ports for cascading up to a maximum of 20 units.
Point to point brightness and color calibration provided by NovaLCT and NOVACLB software. This software performs brightness and color calibration on every LED lamp, reducing color discrepancies, and ensuring uniform brightness and color over the entire display, providing a higher quality image.
● 3 × Input connectors
○ 1×SL-DVI (IN-OUT)
○ 1×HDMI 1.3 (IN-OUT)
○ 1×AUDIO
● 6×Gigabit Ethernet outputs
● 1×Type-B USB control port
● 2×UART control ports
● Used for device cascading. Up to 20 devices can be cascaded.
● Pixel level brightness and chroma calibration.
Working with NovaLCT and NovaCLB, the controller supports brightness and chroma calibration on each LED, which can effectively remove color discrepancies and greatly improve LED display brightness and chroma consistency, allowing for better image quality.

MEGRA guidance
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.
LED display projects that need a dedicated sending / controller unit to drive receiving cards — fixed installs, stage, and commercial screens.
Choose MCTRL700 when your system design calls for a classic Novastar sending controller, paired with matching receiving cards — not a standalone media-only player.
Novastar receiving cards over Ethernet, and the upstream source / computer side of your control setup. Exact ports follow the product specs above.
