Novastar H Series Api (2026)

If your environment utilizes multiple H-Series chassis linked in a Master/Slave configuration, address all API commands directly to the IP address. The master unit automatically distributes internal instructions to slave chassis over the proprietary synchronization link.

While the H Series is primarily a receiving card, when paired with NovaStar sending cards (like the H series controller), the API can manage input routing, EDID emulation, and output mapping.

NovaStar H-Series API commands use a structured textual or hex layout. Let’s look at a structural example of standard TCP control strings used for layout management. Example 1: Recalling a Preset novastar h series api

Reboot & basic control:

import requests import json # Configuration H_SERIES_IP = "192.168.1.100" BASE_URL = f"http://H_SERIES_IP/api/v1" USERNAME = "admin" PASSWORD = "admin_password" def get_auth_token(): """Authenticates with the H Series and returns a session token.""" url = f"BASE_URL/auth/login" payload = "username": USERNAME, "password": PASSWORD try: response = requests.post(url, json=payload, timeout=5) if response.status_code == 200: return response.json().get("token") else: print(f"Authentication failed: response.text") return None except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e: print(f"Connection Error: e") return None def recall_preset(token, screen_id, preset_id): """Triggers a preset recall for a specific screen.""" url = f"BASE_URL/preset/recall" headers = "Authorization": f"Bearer token", "Content-Type": "application/json" payload = "screen_id": screen_id, "preset_id": preset_id response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload) return response.json() # Execution Flow if __name__ == "__main__": print("Connecting to NovaStar H Series API...") token = get_auth_token() if token: print("Authentication Successful. Recalling Preset 3 on Screen 0...") result = recall_preset(token, screen_id=0, preset_id=3) print("API Response:", json.dumps(result, indent=2)) Use code with caution. 6. Best Practices for Developers and Integrators

The H Series API allows third-party developers and system integrators to embed the processor’s functionality into broader workflows—such as automated broadcasting workflows, building management systems (BMS), or simplified touch panel interfaces—without operator intervention. NovaStar H-Series API commands use a structured textual

: Adjust global LED wall brightness (0% to 100%).

The API allows for comprehensive remote management of the H Series (H2, H5, H9, H15) frames without requiring the physical front panel or the web-based GUI:

Poll the processor to verify if an input source has an active, stable sync signal before switching it live. 2. Screen and Layer Configuration Recalling Preset 3 on Screen 0

Retrieve error logs and connection history for proactive system diagnostics. Establishing the Connection: Networking Basics

A button press on a Crestron panel sends an API request to load "Preset 5" on the H9, instantly switching the video wall to a presentation layout.
