About NovaLCT-Mars
NovaLCT-Mars is a powerful and easy-to-learn software application used to design and run the F4 IP video
wall system. The following is some introductory information about this software.
Refer to the VIP Drive 43Nova User Manual for detailed information and instructions on setting up and
using NovaLCT-Mars with your Chauvet F4 IP video wall system.
Description
NovaLCT-Mars enables you to create and control your video wall by addressing the panels included in
your video wall including pixel pitch and layout.
Once you have physically created your modular video wall design by joining the panels, connecting power,
signals, and the VIP Drive 43Nova, you recreate that design within NovaLCT-Mars.
Detailed information and instructions are in the VIP Drive 43Nova User Manual.
