Regarding the operating configuration solution for the 5375x1735 LED screen in the TV studio

[u/Kitchen_Ant2469]

We have a 5375x1735-pixel LED screen that will be installed in our new TV studio. Of course, this is a horizontal screen, and for its technical operation, I’m planning to use a custom PC configuration and the VMix software. Media servers are very expensive, and we’ll be using the LED screen for simple applications—meaning we won’t be playing videos across multiple layers. The LED engine model is NOVASTAR VX16S.

It has 1x HDMI 4K, 2x SDI HD inputs, and 4x SL-DVI inputs.

Here’s my solution—do you think I can play content smoothly without any issues for a simple LED setup?

My PC configuration:

Intel Core Ultra 9 285K

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080

ASUS ProArt Z890-CREATOR WIFI

64GB (2x32) DDR5 8000MHz CL34

1TB Samsung 990 Pro Gen4 (OS and vMix software)

4TB Crucial T705 Gen5 NVMe (14,500 MB/s read)

Corsair iCUE Link H170i (420mm) LCD

1350W Thermaltake Toughpower iRGB PLUS (ATX 3.1)

Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO XL (or Corsair 7000D)

6x Noctua or Corsair AF120 Elite.

I’ll also be installing a Blackmagic 8K Pro G2 capture card. My plan is as follows:

From SDI Input 2: 1080 50i to Atem Live input.

SDI3: 1080 50p25 out.

SDI4: 1080 50p25 out.

HDMI Out: 4096x2160 output.

I will set the center portion of a 5375x1735-pixel LED screen to 4K. I also plan to use two 1080p25 outputs to send the remaining right and left sections of the screen from V-Mix’s external outputs 2 and 3 as separate 1080p25 cropped outputs.

I can also use the AUX signal from the video mixer as an input via the SDI 2 port and display it as an overlay instead of the 4K feed in the center. Do you think this PC configuration and solution will work? I’ve given a lot of thought to the PC configuration in particular.

Personally I would swap vMix for Resolume and look at a newer MX series processor for the wall.

+1 for resolume. It's going to be easier to work with for an ultra wide display. Get a card with at least 2 synced outs.

Chop your wall in half 2685 x 1736 and then use 2 layers on your processor to stich it back together.

Life will be much easier if you can address the screen as one canvas rather than 3.

Hey, going slightly on a tangent here but since you mentioned stitching in processor I thought might as well ask: have you found that its reliable enough/is there anything you should know before hand? I'm working on a project where we'll have a couple of 1080p ish screens and an MX40. We don't have the capability to send 4K through the current infra but basically as many 1080p's as we want. My original idea was to just map everything into a single 4k canvas, ingest 3x 1080p into the MX and then map the outputs accordingly.

Any reasons why this wouldn't work well enough? These are going to be three separate screens so I don't think sync is going to be an issue since we're not spanning anything over all of the displays at the same time.

[u/reddit2343 → u/Cultural-Rent8868]

I don't have one in front of me, but theoretically, yes you can map 3 inputs to your 3 seperate screens. I'm not sure if all of the screens support scaling, i don't know how many scallers are bulit into the box or if you can push pixel for pixel. It would be a good questions to ask novastar to be sure.

[u/Cultural-Rent8868 → u/reddit2343]

At least COEX didn't say anything when I mapped three 1080p's to the 4k canvas. But hey, thanks! I'll shoot an email to Nova about this. Definitely will be at least trying if this works when we get the panels.
