Frequently Asked Questions

How do you calculate port requirements?

We use the pixel capacity limits specified by each processor manufacturer. Each output port has a maximum pixel throughput (e.g., 650,000 pixels for NovaStar MCTRL4K). We calculate your total wall pixels and optimize port distribution.

Which processors does Show Tech support?

We support all major LED processor brands including NovaStar (MCTRL series), Brompton (Tessera), ColorLight, and Novastar. Our database includes the latest models with accurate port specifications.

Can I see how ports map to my wall sections?

Yes! Pro users get detailed canvas layout diagrams showing exactly which port drives which section of the wall, including recommended data cable routing paths.
