Running Chauvet Professional's VIP Driver 43Nova Novastar Controller, the F4 offers user-friendly convenience, whether it's used at a permanent installation or on a tour. The Novastar feature takes video input and outputs it over an Ethernet control system. This allows the video wall to be mapped without a computer. The Novastar protocol can be used to scale video output, adjusting color, brightness and other parameters.
Chauvet Professional worked with Novastar to develop control features for its controller/panel system. These features focus on advanced mapping functions with visual feedback directly on the panels, to help simplify the process for users.
"We designed the F4 to reflect the diverse range of ways video walls are used today," said Albert Chauvet, CEO of Chauvet. "The panels are equally at home in all markets and can be controlled without extra equipment, making them more convenient for all end-users. The panels are also extremely versatile. Our goal was to create a panel that excelled in the widest range of possible applications."
