NovaStar HDR Master 4K Video Processor – Product Overview
The award-winning NovaStar HDR Master 4K is a high-performance video processor designed to convert SDR content into HDR format. Featuring advanced SDR-to-HDR conversion algorithms and superior scaling technology, this compact unit delivers exceptional image quality, powerful processing performance, and high input/output density—making it ideal for demanding LED display applications.
4K HDR for an Immersive Visual Experience
With full 4K input and output connectivity, the HDR Master 4K supports a wider color gamut, greater dynamic range, and deeper color depth. This results in clearer, more detailed images with enhanced brightness and shadow detail, providing a truly immersive visual experience. The unit also enables seamless conversion between SDR and HDR10/HLG formats, effectively addressing the lack of native HDR content sources.
Advanced Scaling Technology for Sharp, Accurate Imagery
Powered by the SuperView III scaling engine, the HDR Master 4K uses content-adaptive processing to eliminate data loss, rough edges, and blurring. This ensures that every pixel is rendered with precision, accurately reproducing the original source material.
