A house without interior would be incomplete – it would have a solid basis, but not a comfortable character. It is similar with the NovaStar softwares NovaLCT and V-Can. Together, they are responsible for controlling the All-in-One-series and the MCTRL-controllers. While the NovaLCT makes the foundation, V-Can is responsible for the interior. They work hand in hand and complement one another. But why do I need two different programs to work my controller? To get a better understanding of the two solutions, we will explain the central functions of both software programmes and their cooperation in the following.

NovaLCT

The NovaLCT software is one of the oldest solutions by NoaStar and was developed in particular for programming the sending card. It is the basis to even running the LED wall overall/in general (should you need further information for programming an LED wall with this software, you can find instructions and a video in this article).

With NovaLCT, essential settings like setting up the cabinets, brightness, colour correction and calibration can be done. However, it was primarily developed for the basic configuration. This means that all continuative functions like scaling or controlling contents are not possible. Consequently, this means that for adapting the display contents to the size of the LED wall, a separate scaler used to be necessary.

V-Can

With the development of the first All-in-One controller that combined sending card and scaling function in one single device, the necessity arose to control the integrated scalers. This new function could no longer be integrated. Therefore, the V-Can software was developed. It ensures that the content is transferred to the LED wall by controlling the LED wall and managing the video processor. Overall, it gives the controller the necessary commands to adapt and display contents dynamically. In addition to scaling, it is also responsible for managing the sources, signal processing and makes a flexible adaption of the display contents possible.

A well-rehearsed team

As you can see, NovaLCT and V-Can are connected with one another. The NovaLCT software offers a technical basis on which the LED wall is set up but without the V-Can software, its use would be severely restricted. Only the V-Can software brings movement into play by controlling, scaling and adjusting the image content. We know that it can be difficult to keep track of the various software solutions by NovaStar, however, we hope this article has given you a better understanding of the functions of both softwares.
