Introduction
In the UAE’s professional LED display industry, the quality of the signal entering the video wall splicer is as important as the splicer’s own processing capability. When a Novastar H Series video wall splicer — the H2, H5, H9, H15, or H20 — is the heart of a premium UAE fine-pitch LED installation, the input card that connects the source equipment to that splicer must be capable of carrying the full resolution, colour depth, and refresh rate of the highest-quality signals that modern UAE professional environments use.
The Novastar H_1xHDMI2.0+1xDP1.2 Input Card is precisely this level of input card — a premium single-channel 4K input expansion card that provides one HDMI 2.0 connector and one DisplayPort 1.2 connector on a single card slot, offering the UAE’s professional LED display integrators a flexible, high-resolution input solution that accommodates both of the primary high-definition signal interfaces used in the UAE’s most demanding AV and broadcast environments.
The H_1xHDMI2.0+1xDP1.2 is a 1x HDMI2.0 + 1x DP1.2 input card for the H Series video splicing processors — supporting accompanied audio and 144Hz input, with only one connector usable at a time. The default connector is HDMI 2.0, configurable via the Web page. It does not support interlaced signal input.
At My7Screen, we supply the complete Novastar H Series input card range — including the H_1xHDMI2.0+1xDP1.2 — across the UAE, providing the technical configuration advice, local stock availability, and professional installation support that UAE LED display integrators and operators depend on.
What Is the Novastar H_1xHDMI2.0+1xDP1.2 Input Card?
The H_1xHDMI2.0+1xDP1.2 card accepts one HDMI 2.0 signal or one DisplayPort 1.2 signal — not both at the same time. The HDMI 2.0 input is backwards compatible with HDMI 1.4 and 1.3 and supports resolutions of up to 3840×2160 @ 60Hz. The DP 1.2 input is backwards compatible with DP 1.1 and supports resolutions of up to 4096×2160 @ 60Hz or 8192×1080 @ 60Hz.
This dual-interface, single-active-channel architecture gives UAE LED display integrators significant operational flexibility — a single card slot in the H Series chassis serves two different signal standards, with the active interface selected via the H Series Web management interface. The result is a premium 4K input card that accommodates the two most important high-definition signal interfaces in the UAE’s professional AV and LED display ecosystem, without requiring two separate card slots for different interface types.

HDMI 2.0 vs DisplayPort 1.2 — Understanding the Two Interfaces on This Card
The H_1xHDMI2.0+1xDP1.2 card’s dual-interface design addresses the two primary high-resolution signal standards in the UAE’s professional AV ecosystem — each with distinct technical characteristics and UAE application profiles.
HDMI 2.0 — The UAE’s Universal 4K Standard
HDMI 2.0 is the dominant 4K signal interface across the UAE’s consumer-professional AV landscape — supported by virtually every modern laptop, 4K media player, gaming console, broadcast monitor, and presentation device used in UAE corporate, hospitality, event, and institutional environments. The H_1xHDMI2.0+1xDP1.2 card’s HDMI 2.0 interface supports 4K UHD (3840×2160) at 60Hz with HDCP 2.2 — delivering full 4K content from HDMI 2.0 sources directly into the H Series processing chain without any signal quality compromise.
HDMI 2.0’s backward compatibility with HDMI 1.4 and 1.3 on this card also means that UAE installations incorporating older HDMI-output equipment alongside current 4K systems are accommodated on the same card — a practical advantage in UAE AV environments where equipment generations often coexist.
DisplayPort 1.2 — The UAE Professional Graphics Standard
DisplayPort 1.2 is the preferred signal interface of professional graphics workstations, high-performance engineering design computers, broadcast graphics systems, and the premium laptop ecosystem (Apple Mac, Dell XPS, Lenovo ThinkPad Pro) that UAE corporate and creative professionals use. Its technical advantages over HDMI include higher bandwidth capacity and superior support for ultra-wide and non-standard resolutions.
The H_1xHDMI2.0+1xDP1.2 card’s DisplayPort 1.2 interface extends beyond standard 4K to support 8192×1080 @ 60Hz — an ultra-wide resolution that no HDMI standard on this card can match — making it the essential input for UAE LED display applications where ultra-wide display configurations are driven from DisplayPort-equipped professional source equipment. DP 1.2’s backward compatibility with DP 1.1 also ensures compatibility with older DisplayPort-equipped professional workstations in UAE enterprise environments.
HDCP 2.2 — Highest Content Protection Standard
Both the HDMI 2.0 and DP 1.2 interfaces on this card carry HDCP 2.2 compliance — the highest version of HDCP content protection. This is a significant upgrade from the HDCP 1.4 compliance of the H_4xHDMI and H_4xDVI cards, and is important for UAE LED display environments where content from HDCP 2.2-protected sources — 4K Blu-ray players, 4K streaming media devices, and certain broadcast-standard 4K playback systems — must be displayed without triggering content protection errors.
For UAE hospitality, luxury retail, entertainment, and premium corporate environments where 4K protected content is part of the display programme, the H_1xHDMI2.0+1xDP1.2 card’s HDCP 2.2 compliance ensures uninterrupted 4K content delivery from the most demanding protected content sources.
The 8192-Pixel Ultra-Wide Capability — A Defining Feature for UAE Projects
The DisplayPort 1.2 interface’s support for resolutions up to 8192×1080 @ 60Hz — with a custom EDID maximum width of 8,192 pixels — is one of the most operationally significant capabilities of the H_1xHDMI2.0+1xDP1.2 card for UAE professional LED display applications.
An 8,192-pixel wide display canvas — equivalent to four standard 1080p screens placed side by side, or an ultra-wide LED display spanning approximately 8 metres at standard fine-pitch pixel density — is a format that appears in several high-value UAE LED display application contexts:
UAE stage and event productions: Ultra-wide LED backdrops spanning the full width of a concert stage or event set — where a single DisplayPort output from a media server or presentation workstation drives the entire ultra-wide canvas as a single logical display
UAE corporate lobby video walls: Wide-format fine-pitch LED video walls in the entrance lobbies of government ministries, corporate headquarters, and premium commercial buildings — where an ultra-wide single-source display configuration delivers panoramic content without visible seams
UAE broadcast and studio sets: Ultra-wide LED studio backgrounds where a single DisplayPort output from a broadcast graphics system drives the entire studio LED backdrop as a unified display surface
UAE control room multi-zone displays: Wide-format operational display walls in UAE government and corporate control rooms where a single ultra-wide DP source delivers a panoramic operational map, dashboard, or surveillance overview
144Hz Input — Future-Ready Performance for UAE Displays
Both the HDMI 2.0 and DP 1.2 interfaces on the H_1xHDMI2.0+1xDP1.2 card support 144Hz input refresh rate — significantly above the standard 60Hz broadcast and presentation frame rate. This high-refresh-rate capability is increasingly relevant in UAE professional LED display environments:
- UAE esports and gaming events — high-frame-rate game content on LED displays at UAE esports venues
- High-frame-rate broadcast production — as UAE broadcast infrastructure adopts HFR content standards
- Dynamic data visualisation — UAE control room displays where high-refresh-rate data feeds improve the fluidity and readability of rapidly changing operational information
- Virtual production and XR environments — UAE virtual production studios where high-frame-rate LED volume content improves the visual quality of on-camera LED backgrounds
Novastar H_1xHDMI2.0+1xDP1.2 Input Card Applications in the UAE
Premium Fine-Pitch LED Video Walls
For UAE fine-pitch LED video wall installations — in luxury hotel atriums, government ministry grand halls, premium corporate lobbies, and prestigious institutional environments — where the source content is 4K from a HDMI 2.0 media player or 4K from a DisplayPort professional workstation, the H_1xHDMI2.0+1xDP1.2 card delivers the full 4K signal quality directly into the H Series processing chain without any resolution or colour depth compromise.
The card’s HDCP 2.2 compliance and 10-bit colour depth support ensure that the full quality of 4K HDR source content is preserved through the input stage — enabling the H Series splicer to deliver the pixel-perfect, colour-accurate image output that premium UAE fine-pitch LED environments demand.
Broadcast Studios and Media Production Facilities
UAE broadcast and media production facilities — in Dubai Media City, Abu Dhabi’s twofour54, and the growing production infrastructure across the Emirates — increasingly use LED video walls as studio backgrounds, virtual production volumes, and live broadcast set elements driven by high-resolution source systems outputting HDMI 2.0 or DisplayPort 1.2 signals.
The H_1xHDMI2.0+1xDP1.2 card’s 4K input at 60Hz on both interfaces, combined with HDCP 2.2 compliance and 144Hz support, delivers the signal quality and compatibility that UAE broadcast production environments require — connecting the latest 4K graphics workstations, media servers, and playback systems directly into H Series-driven LED display systems without signal quality degradation.
Virtual Production and XR Studios
UAE virtual production studios — where LED volumes serve as the photo-realistic backgrounds for film and commercial production, replacing green screen with in-camera LED environments — require input cards capable of delivering the highest possible resolution and colour accuracy from the rendering computers and media servers that generate the LED background content.
The DisplayPort 1.2 interface’s 4096×2160 @ 60Hz capability — the DCI 4K format used by professional cinema and virtual production rendering systems — makes the H_1xHDMI2.0+1xDP1.2 card the appropriate input solution for UAE virtual production facilities where DCI 4K source content from rendering computers must be delivered to H Series-driven LED volumes at full resolution and quality.
Government Command Centres and Operations Facilities
UAE government command centres and national operations facilities — managing smart city infrastructure, national security monitoring, and critical national services — invest in H Series-driven fine-pitch LED video walls that display high-resolution operational maps, real-time data visualisations, and strategic overview content from 4K workstations and specialist applications.
For UAE government facilities where source workstations output 4K via HDMI 2.0 or DisplayPort 1.2, the H_1xHDMI2.0+1xDP1.2 card provides the 4K input quality that ensures operations display content is rendered at full resolution on the H Series LED video wall — preserving the detail, readability, and visual precision that mission-critical government display applications require.
Large Conference and Event Venues
UAE conference and event venues — hosting international summits, government events, corporate conferences, and high-profile exhibitions — increasingly feature H Series-driven 4K LED display systems where keynote speakers and presentation teams connect via HDMI 2.0 (most common for MacBook and Windows laptops) or DisplayPort (standard on many presentation workstations and conference AV systems).
The H_1xHDMI2.0+1xDP1.2 card provides the flexibility to accept both signal standards from a single card slot — enabling UAE venue AV teams to accommodate the presentation equipment of any speaker or production team without requiring separate card slots for each interface type.
Creative and Architecture Firms
UAE architecture, engineering, and creative design firms — particularly those in Dubai Design District (d3) and the creative clusters of Abu Dhabi — use large-format fine-pitch LED video walls for design review, client presentations, and creative collaboration. The professional workstations used in these UAE environments typically output DisplayPort 1.2, and the H_1xHDMI2.0+1xDP1.2 card’s DP 1.2 interface delivers the full 4K resolution of these workstations directly to H Series-driven LED display systems without the resolution limitations of older DVI or standard HDMI connections.
Interface Selection and Configuration in the UAE H Series System
Only one connector can be used at a time on the H_1xHDMI2.0+1xDP1.2 card. The interface is set via the H Series Web page. The default option is HDMI 2.0 connector.
For UAE H Series installations where the active interface on the H_1xHDMI2.0+1xDP1.2 card may need to change — switching between an HDMI 2.0 media player and a DisplayPort workstation for different content scenarios, for example — the Web-based interface selection is performed through the H Series Web management console, accessible from any browser on the same network without installing dedicated software.
Switching the video input on this card has no effect on added layers or presets — meaning that UAE operators can switch between HDMI 2.0 and DP 1.2 on the card without losing the display layout configurations and presets that have been set up in the H Series system. This operational continuity is particularly valuable in UAE event production environments where input source switching occurs during live operations.
My7Screen configures the interface selection settings and Web management access for every UAE H_1xHDMI2.0+1xDP1.2 card installation as part of the commissioning process.
