Introduction
The DH7508 is a cost-effective receiving card developed by NovaStar. A single DH7508 supports resolutions up to
256×256@60Hz. Supporting various functions such as pixel level brightness and chroma calibration, quick
adjustment of dark or bright lines, and 3D, the DH7508 can significantly improve the display effect and user
experience.
The DH7508 uses 8 standard HUB75E connectors for communication, resulting in high stability. It supports up to 16
groups of parallel RGB data. Thanks to its EMC compliant hardware design, the DH7508 has improved
electromagnetic compatibility and is suitable for various on-site setups.
Certifications
