3. Outstanding Functions of Nova MCTRL4K
3.1 HDR10-Optima
HDR (High-Dynamic Range) is a processing technology to improve image brightness and contrast. It allows people to have a visual experience closer to the real environment when people are watching the picture.

(1) High Dynamics. It expands the details in the picture and enriches the details and colors of the dark parts. Make the picture look more real and present an excellent visual effect.
(2) Wide Color Gamut Rec.2020. It has finer color resolution and can present more color gradations, making the picture more natural and delicate.
(3) High Color Depth. 10bit color processing endows the picture with a more realistic and smooth detail transition.
3.2 HLG
HLG is the technical standard adopted by 4K broadcast television systems. The Novastar MCTRL4K (4K×2K) LED controller simplifies the post-production workflow.
Shooting high-dynamic scenes can be presented in real-time through the display. There is no need for color correction in the later stage, and the beautiful picture can be output by direct editing.
3.3 Ultra-low Latency
Video source signal output does not exceed 1 ms. The low-latency feature makes the rebroadcast picture synchronized with the stage scene.
The low-latency feature makes it a good choice for e-sports events, concerts, and live evening parties.
3.4 3D Function
According to Nova’s description, the MCTRL4K LED controller works with a 3D emitter and 3D glasses to bring super shocking immersive 3D visual effects. Of course, a specific 3D video source is also essential.
