 H2 Video Wall Splicer Specifications

Introduction
The H2 is NovaStar’s newest generation of video wall splicer, featuring excellent image quality and designed
especially for fine-pitch LED screens. The H2 can work as splicing processors that integrate both video processing
and video control capabilities, or work as pure splicing processors. The whole unit adopts a modular and plug-in
design, and allows for flexible configuration and hot swapping of input and output cards. Thanks to excellent features
and stable performance, the H2 can be widely used in a variety of applications, such as energy and power, judicial
departments and prisons, military command, water conservancy and hydrology, meteorologic earthquake prediction,
enterprise management, metallurgy of steel, banking and finance, national defense, public security traffic
management, exhibitions and presentations, production scheduling, radio and television, educational and scientific
research, as well as stage rental applications.

Based on the powerful hardware FPGA system architecture, with a modular and plug-in design, the H2 features a
stable and highly efficient pure hardware architecture, and provides a variety of connector modules for flexible and
personalized configuration, allowing for easy maintenance and low failure rate. The H2 provides the industry-standard
input connectors, including HDMI, DVI, DP, VGA, CVBS, SDI and IP, and supports 10-bit video source input and
processing, as well as 4K high-definition inputs and outputs. The H2 also provides three kinds of LED 4K sending
cards, allowing for the backup between the OPT ports and Ethernet ports as well as ultra-long distance transmission.
Moreover, the H2 supports multi-screen and multi-layer management, input and output EDID management and
monitoring, input source renaming, BKG and OSD settings and more, bringing you a rich image construction
experience.

In addition, the H2 adopts the B/S architecture and supports cross-platform, cross-system access and control without
the need to install an application program. On a Windows, Mac, iOS, Android or Linux platform, online collaboration
of multiple users is supported and the Web page response speed is very fast, which greatly improves on-site setup
efficiency. What’s more, the H2 supports online firmware update, allowing for easy hardware update on a PC.

Notes and Cautions

Notes For Battery
 The battery is not intended to be replaced.
 Disposal of a battery into fire or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting of a battery can result in an
explosion.
 Leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature surrounding environment can result in an explosion or the
leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
 A battery subjected to extremely low air pressure may result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid
or gas.

Notes for Installation

When the product needs to be installed on the rack, 8 screws at least M5*8 should be used to fix it. The rack for
installation shall bear at least four times the total weight of the mounted equipment.

A. Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be
given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma)
specified by the manufacturer.

B. Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required
for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

C. Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not
achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

D. Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit
and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

E. Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention
should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power
strips).
