1 Overview

The N9 is a high-performance seamless switcher that integrates video processing, image mosaic, transition

effects and multi-screen display capabilities. With invisible layer editing process, the N9 sends the images to

LED screen smoothly by one button press, which is ideal for various applications, such as intermediate and

high-end rental, stage control, media centers, big conference sites, exhibition sites, concerts and command

centers.

The N9 features powerful video signal receiving and processing abilities, and supports up to 9 input sources at

the same time. In addition, the N9 supports up to 4K×2K@60Hz input resolution and at most 7 layers. Four

pairs of DVI output connectors can be used for mosaic output, and the connectors in each pair output the

same content. What’s more, a single N9 unit can load an up to 8KK screen, and multiple N9 units can be

linked to load a super-large screen.

The N9 can work with NovaStar's C1 event controller and V-Can smart control software, allowing for richer

screen mosaic effects and easier operation.
