1 Introduction

The award-winning HDR Master 4K is NovaStar's first 4K HDR video processor converting SDR content into

HDR format. Engineered with the optimal SDR to HDR converting algorithm and outstanding scaling

technology, the unit empowers great processing performance, superior image quality, remarkable input and

output density in a highly-compact box. Making the world HDR has never been easier.

4K HDR for impressive visual experience

With full 4K input and output connectors and SDR to HDR converting capability, the HDR Master 4K enables a

wider color gamut, larger dynamic range and deeper color depth, thus displaying more details of the bright and

dark areas of an image and giving you a super clear and immersive visual experience. Furthermore, the unit

empowers free converting between SDT and HDR10/HLG, perfectly solving the problem of the absence of an

HDR source.

High-grade scaling technology, reproducing every exquisite pixel

Equipped with SuperView III scaling algorithm, a content-adaptive scaling engine, the HDR Master 4K

effectively eliminates the problems of data loss, rough edges and edge blurring. Therefore, every image is

restored to its original look.

Abundant 4K connectors perfectly for most demanding users

The well-designed HDR Master 4K provides a variety of input and output connectors within a small footprint,

including 1x HDMI 2.0, 1x DP 1.2 and 4x 12G-SDI via a swappable input card, 2x HDMI 2.0, 4x OPT and 4x

12G-SDI via two swappable output cards. The high amount of connectors meet all your needs in the field.
