Introduction
HDMI is the most widely used professional signal interface in the UAE’s LED display industry today — and for good reason. From the MacBooks and Windows laptops that presenters connect in Dubai’s corporate boardrooms, to the media servers driving content in Abu Dhabi’s five-star hotel ballrooms, from the 4K playback systems of UAE broadcast studios to the presentation computers of the Emirates’ largest conference and event venues — HDMI is the signal standard that appears on more source devices, in more UAE professional environments, than any other interface.
When UAE LED display systems are built on the Novastar H Series video wall splicer platform — the H2, H5, H9, H15, and H20 — the Novastar H_4xHDMI Input Card is the input expansion card that connects the most common signal sources in the UAE’s professional display ecosystem directly into the H Series processing architecture.
The H_4xHDMI is a 4x HDMI input card for the H Series video splicing processors — HDCP 1.4 compliant, supporting 10-bit input video signals. When four HDMI signals are connected, the maximum resolution per input is 2048×1152 @ 60Hz, with custom resolutions up to a maximum of 2560×972 or 884×2560 @ 60Hz. When only two HDMI 1.4 inputs are used, each input supports resolutions up to 3840×1080 @ 60Hz, with custom resolutions up to 4096×1124 or 1024×4095 @ 60Hz. Four status LEDs indicate whether the input signal is valid.
At My7Screen, we supply the complete Novastar H Series input card range — including the H_4xHDMI — across the UAE, providing technical configuration advice, local stock availability, and professional installation support that UAE LED display integrators and operators depend on.
What Is the Novastar H_4xHDMI Input Card?
The Novastar H_4xHDMI input card supports 10-bit input source, accompanied audio and 144Hz input, and does not support interlaced signal input. It is HDCP 1.4 compliant across all four connectors in both HDMI 1.3 and HDMI 1.4 modes.
The H_4xHDMI card is a direct plug-in module for the Novastar H Series chassis — occupying a single input card slot and providing up to four independent HDMI input channels that carry separate signal sources into the H Series splicer’s processing engine. Its hot-swap capability means it can be installed, replaced, or upgraded while the H Series splicer continues operating — without interrupting display output on other cards or requiring a system shutdown.
The card carries two HDMI 1.3 connectors and two HDMI 1.4 connectors — enabling two distinct operating configurations depending on whether the priority is maximum simultaneous input count or maximum per-channel resolution.

HDMI 1.3 Mode vs HDMI 1.4 Mode — Choosing the Right Configuration for UAE Projects
The H_4xHDMI card’s dual-mode architecture is one of its most operationally significant features for UAE LED display integrators — enabling the card to serve two distinct operational profiles depending on the specific requirements of the UAE installation.
HDMI 1.3 Mode — Maximum Input Count for UAE Multi-Source Environments
When all four connectors are active in HDMI 1.3 mode, the H_4xHDMI card delivers four simultaneous HDMI input channels — each carrying an independent source at up to 2048×1152 @ 60Hz. This mode is the appropriate choice for UAE applications where:
- Multiple simultaneous HDMI sources must be connected per card slot
- Individual source resolution does not require more than 2048×1152
- Maximum input channel count per card is the operational priority
- UAE applications: corporate boardrooms, multi-presenter conference facilities, event production with multiple laptop sources, hotel meeting rooms, and control rooms with multiple HDMI-output workstations
For UAE H Series installations where input source count is the primary driver — accommodating the many simultaneous sources that UAE corporate events, multi-source presentations, and control room environments require — HDMI 1.3 mode with all four connectors active is the standard operating mode.
HDMI 1.4 Mode — Ultra-Wide Resolution for UAE Premium Applications
When operating in HDMI 1.4 mode, two connectors carry ultra-wide signals at up to 3840×1080 @ 60Hz — delivering horizontal resolution equivalent to dual 1080p displays side by side. This mode is appropriate for UAE applications where:
- Ultra-wide (3840×1080) signal formats are required
- Source equipment outputs high-resolution wide-format signals
- The priority is maximum horizontal resolution per input channel
- UAE applications: large-format event productions with ultra-wide stage content, broadcast studio ultra-wide graphic feeds, premium retail and brand experience content systems, and architectural LED display content workflows
Audio Support — A Key Advantage for UAE AV Environments
The H_4xHDMI card supports accompanied audio input alongside its HDMI video signals. This audio support distinguishes the H_4xHDMI from the H_4xDVI card — HDMI carries both video and audio in a single cable, and the H_4xHDMI card preserves and passes the audio component of HDMI signals into the H Series processing system.
For UAE LED display environments where the H Series splicer is part of an integrated AV system — hotel ballrooms, conference centres, event venues, and corporate presentation environments where audio accompanies video content — the H_4xHDMI card’s audio support simplifies cabling by eliminating the need for separate audio cable runs from HDMI source equipment to the audio system.
Novastar H_4xHDMI Input Card Applications in the UAE
Corporate Conference Rooms and Boardrooms
The UAE’s corporate sector — concentrated in the business districts of DIFC, Downtown Dubai, Abu Dhabi’s Central Business District, and the free zone office campuses across the Emirates — operates an extensive network of conference rooms and boardrooms where multiple presenters connect laptops and other HDMI-output devices to LED display systems.
The H_4xHDMI card’s four-channel HDMI 1.3 mode accommodates four simultaneous laptop or presentation device connections per card — enabling H Series-driven LED displays in UAE corporate meeting environments to serve multiple presenters without input switching delays or cable management complexity. For UAE boardrooms with H Series LED video walls where switching between multiple presenter devices is a routine operational requirement, the H_4xHDMI card provides the multi-source HDMI connectivity that UAE corporate meeting environments demand.
Hotel Ballrooms and Event Venues
Dubai and Abu Dhabi’s five-star hotel event infrastructure — among the most extensive and prestigious in the world — operates LED display systems in ballrooms, conference centres, and event spaces that must accommodate the HDMI output equipment of event clients, production companies, and AV suppliers from across the UAE and internationally.
The H_4xHDMI card’s universal HDMI compatibility ensures that H Series-driven LED displays in UAE hotel event venues can accept the full range of HDMI source equipment that event clients bring — from MacBook Pro laptops and Windows presentation PCs to professional media players, playback servers, and broadcast-standard HDMI output devices.
Broadcast and Production Studios
UAE broadcast and production facilities in Dubai Media City, Abu Dhabi’s twofour54, and the growing production infrastructure across the Emirates operate mixed signal environments where HDMI is used alongside SDI and other professional formats for monitoring workstations, graphics systems, and playback equipment.
The H_4xHDMI card enables UAE broadcast facility H Series installations to incorporate HDMI-output production equipment — monitoring workstations, graphics preview systems, media playback devices — directly into the H Series signal management architecture. The card’s 144Hz refresh rate support also accommodates high-frame-rate HDMI sources that are increasingly used in UAE broadcast and production environments.
Large Conference and Exhibition Venues
UAE conference and exhibition venues — Dubai World Trade Centre, ADNEC, and the growing network of convention facilities across the Emirates — host productions where the H Series LED display infrastructure must accommodate HDMI presentation inputs from speakers, exhibitors, and production teams whose equipment specification cannot be predicted or controlled in advance.
The H_4xHDMI card’s broad resolution range — from 800×600 to 2048×1152 in four-channel mode, or to 3840×1080 in dual HDMI 1.4 mode — ensures compatibility with the full spectrum of HDMI source equipment that UAE exhibition and conference productions encounter, from legacy presentation laptops to current-generation 4K media playback systems.
Luxury Retail and Brand Experience
UAE luxury retail flagship stores, automotive showrooms, and brand experience centres operate LED display systems driven by HDMI-output media players and content management systems that feed curated brand content to large-format fine-pitch LED video walls. The H_4xHDMI card provides the HDMI input connectivity that integrates these content systems into H Series LED display installations across the UAE’s premium retail and branded environment sector.
Government and Institutional Facilities
UAE government ministry facilities, public sector operations centres, and institutional environments — universities, cultural facilities, airports, and public service buildings — incorporate LED display systems where HDMI is the primary signal standard for presentation equipment, monitoring workstations, and content playback systems. The H_4xHDMI card ensures seamless HDMI source integration in H Series-driven government and institutional LED display installations across the Emirates.
Multi-Screen Event Productions
UAE professional event productions — from corporate conferences and product launches to entertainment productions and government spectaculars — involve complex multi-source HDMI signal environments where several content sources must simultaneously feed different zones of a large LED display system. Multiple H_4xHDMI cards across the H Series input card slots deliver the total HDMI channel count that UAE complex event productions require.
H_4xHDMI Card Compatibility — Full H Series Support
The H_4xHDMI input card is compatible with the H Series H2, H5, H9, and H15 video wall splicers. It is also compatible with the H20.
