NovaStar is a professional video technology brand specialising in LED display control and processing solutions. Its technology is used to manage how video content is processed, distributed and displayed across LED screens. Through Planetworld, NovaStar forms part of our Professional AV portfolio for integrators, rental companies, production professionals and large-scale visual installations.

NovaStar offers LED control systems, video processors, media servers, AV-over-IP solutions, cloud-based technologies, software and accessories. These products provide the processing and control infrastructure behind professional LED display systems.

A NovaStar LED controller takes a video signal and distributes the required display data to an LED screen. Depending on the controller, it can also provide functions such as display configuration, calibration, redundancy and image optimisation, helping ensure content is displayed correctly across the LED system.

NovaStar solutions can be used across live events, concerts, corporate environments, entertainment venues, sports facilities, control rooms and other fixed or temporary LED installations. This makes the brand particularly relevant to Planetworld’s Rental, Events & Entertainment and Professional AV customers.

The right solution depends on factors such as the LED screen resolution, total pixel count, number and type of inputs, output requirements, screen configuration, redundancy requirements and whether the system is being designed for a permanent installation or live production. Planetworld’s Professional AV channel can assist integrators and production professionals in specifying the appropriate NovaStar technology for the project.

NovaStar products are available through Planetworld’s specialist Professional AV channel in South Africa. Planetworld provides access to NovaStar through its professional dealer and integration network, allowing AV integrators, rental companies and production professionals to specify the right LED processing and control solutions for their particular application.
