H5 Master Case - Product - Midwich

The NovaStar H Series H5 Master Case is a high-performance, flagship modular video wall splicer and controller chassis designed for large-scale LED applications. As the "Master" unit, this 5U enclosure provides the processing power, backplane, and control infrastructure required to manage massive pixel loads across multiple displays.

By utilizing a modular "plug-and-play" architecture, the H5 allows users to custom-build a video processing solution by selecting specific input and output cards to meet the exact needs of command centers, large-scale stage productions, and broadcast studios.

The H5 Master Case serves as the central hub for video distribution, splicing, and scaling, offering industry-leading stability and pixel capacity.

• High-Capacity 5U Chassis: Features 10 input slots and 3 output slots, providing extensive room for complex signal routing and massive display configurations.
• Enormous Loading Capacity: Supports up to 39 million pixels (standard) or a maximum of 65 million pixels (with the use of fiber opto-connector cards).
• True All-in-One Integration: Combines the functionality of a high-end video processor and an LED sending card into one unit, reducing points of failure and simplifying cable management.
• Advanced Multi-Layering: Supports up to 48 layers (16 layers per output card), allowing for sophisticated windowing, picture-in-picture (PiP), and complex visual overlays.
• Web-Based Control Interface: Features a Browser/Server (B/S) architecture, enabling full system configuration via any web browser on Windows, Mac, iOS, or Android without installing local software.
• Hot-Swappable Reliability: All input and output cards are hot-swappable, ensuring zero-downtime maintenance and the ability to upgrade hardware in the field.
• Industrial-Grade Stability: Engineered for 24/7 mission-critical environments with real-time monitoring of fans, temperature, and voltage, plus support for an optional redundant power supply.
• High-Fidelity Processing: Supports 10-bit color depth, HDR10/HLG, and high-frame-rate processing for smooth, vibrant visuals on fine-pitch LED walls.
