¶ Cabinet Library
NCP is a file package designed to maximize the display performance and simplify the maintenance for users. It can include Firmware, Configuration File, Image Booster File, Thermal Compensation File, Adaptive Frame Rate File, and Multi-mode File.
Note: The below 3 files are optional, depend on the hardware and customers’ needs.
- Thermal Compensation is exclusive to A10s Pro, CA50E, XA50 Pro.
- Multi-mode is exclusive for COEX controllers.
- Adaptive Frame Rate depends on receiving cards (same as above) and driver IC. For driver IC, pls contact NovaStar to confirm.
Click on Setting on the top menu bar to enter the cabinet library interface. On the cabinet library interface, all NCP files, parameters and statuses in the software are displayed for users to be managed.
¶ NCP Import
Select any device, click on Setting on the top menu bar to enter the cabinet library interface, and click on Manage Packs in the upper right corner to enter the NCP management interface. Click Add and select the local NCP file to upload to the local pack and device pack.
¶ NCP Sharing Between Devices and Control Computer
In addition, if the user accidentally loses the local NCP file, the NCP sharing operation between the device and the computer can still be easily completed on this NCP management interface.
¶ Common Questions
¶ Which receiving cards support NCP?
NCP supports A5s Plus, A7s Plus, A8s, A8s-N, and A10s Plus-N, A10s Pro, CA50E, XA50 Pro.
- A10s Pro and 5G receiving cards (CA50E, XA50 Pro) are equipped with NCP by default before shipping.
- For other models, users can ask LED manufacturers to make NCP specifically based on their needs.
¶ How can I get the NCP file?
For A10s Pro, the cabinets are equipped with NCP by default. You can contact LED manufacturers to get the NCP file.
For new cabinets with other cards (A5s Plus, A7s Plus, A8s, A8s-N, and A10s Plus-N), please inform the LED manufacturers that you require NCP instead of RCFGX before shipping.
For existing cabinets that don’t have NCP, please contact NovaStar to make the NCP file.
¶ Can I use NCP with other controllers, like MCTRL series, H series, and VX series?
There is no limitation on controllers. You can send NCP via NovaLCT when using MCTRL/ H/ VX series. Check below pic to see how to send NCP.
- Pls note the LCT version needs to be 5.5.0 or above.
¶ If I only have rcfgx file for my cabinets, can I use COEX controllers to control?
First, pls check if the receiving card models are in the range (A5s Plus, A7s Plus, A8s, A8s-N, and A10s Plus-N). For these models, yes, COEX controllers can work together. While for MRV series and DH series, the answer is no.
Below pic shows where to send rcfgx via VMP software.
