NovaStar ET16S-G

The ET16S-G is a media server from NovaStar, boasting a 16K ultra-high resolution, pixel-to-pixel screen loading, and multiple high-performance graphics cards. Equipped with a powerful workstation motherboard, Intel Xeon processor, and ECC DDR4 memory, the ET16S-G enables flawless frame-synchronized output of four graphics cards. A single media server can replace four traditional media servers with single graphics card configurations, while also having the ability to link multiple servers for frame-synchronized mosaic and backup, perfect for meeting the requirements of ultra-high resolution displays exceeding 16K. Incorporating the latest version of Kompass FX3 multimedia playback software, the ET16S-G showcases its ability to hardware decode up to four channels of 8K60fps high-definition video content simultaneously, giving full play to the decoding and rendering capabilities of all available GPUs. Furthermore, it offers a range of functionalities, including multi-channel audio and video playback and processing, visual media management and program arrangement, as well as output partitioning and reorganization, enabling seamless control and creative display in mosaic configurations using multiple graphics cards. With all these advanced features, the ET16S-G is well-suited for various fixed installation scenarios requiring exceptional resolution and powerful playback control, such as large-scale outdoor advertising displays, naked-eye 3D, immersive experiences, data centers, and exhibition showcases.

🔗 Frame Synchronization Technology

The ET16S-G includes a Sync Card (Sync Card II) that acts as a master timing source to ensure all graphics cards output frames at exactly the same moment, eliminating visible tearing or seams on large LED walls. The Sync Card's 2x RJ45 ports enable daisy-chaining multiple ET16S-G servers together for massive 16K+ installations, where one server becomes the master and others synchronize to it. The BNC port accepts external timing signals from broadcast equipment or cameras for genlock capability. This technology is essential for seamless video walls spanning multiple servers, live events, concerts, and broadcast applications where perfect frame synchronization across dozens of outputs is critical.
