For advanced software environments, inquire about available compiled SDKs (such as .dll or .so libraries) if your implementation requires low-level C++ or .NET framework access rather than raw network socket programming.
Used for standard raw command-line API strings. This is a persistent connection model where the control system opens a specific port, sends a formatted text or hex command, and waits for an acknowledgment (ACK) or data payload.
A typical low-level command packet to a NovaStar processor consists of several distinct layers:
Unlike legacy video processors that rely heavily on restricted RS-232 serial strings, the modern H-Series architecture natively centers around IP-based control. This allows for multi-client concurrent connections, real-time feedback, and secure command execution across a local area network (LAN). Core Protocol Mechanisms novastar h series api
While some high-level instructions are public, specific control protocols are often protected by an NDA. Developers should contact NovaStar Support to obtain the latest version of the detailed interface documents and the H Series User Manual . H Series Video Wall Splicers User Manual - NovaStar
| Function | Description | | :--- | :--- | | | Forces the processor to a specific input (e.g., HDMI 1, SDI, DVI). | | Brightness | Sets the global LED screen brightness (0-100%). | | Windowing | Adjusts the PIP (Picture-in-Picture) coordinates and sizing. | | Presets | Recalls saved preset configurations. | | Power Control | Turns the LED wall on/off (sends commands to Receiving Cards). |
When constructing commands, you will frequently reference these specific IDs found in the H Series Splicers Control Protocol : : Unique ID for the signal source channel . screenId : The specific screen being controlled . A typical low-level command packet to a NovaStar
Ideal for Digital Signage networks, smart city deployments, and scenarios where centralized management of multiple H Series units is required.

In live events or corporate environments, operators rely heavily on presets. The API handles this efficiently: Developers should contact NovaStar Support to obtain the
By moving from button-pushing to command-line or scripting, you reduce human error and increase system reliability. Start with a simple Python script to toggle brightness, then scale up to full room automation.
The days of the "blind LED controller" are over. With the NovaStar H Series API, your LED wall becomes a smart, responsive, and integrated digital canvas.
