NovaStar Taurus TB30 - Media Player and LED Controller (up to 650,000 pixels)

NovaStar Taurus TB30 – Media Player and LED Controller (up to 650,000 pixels)

The NovaStar TB30 is a professional Taurus series media player with integrated push functionality for full-color LED displays. Designed for fixed installations and digital signage, it combines content publishing and screen control in a compact and robust unit with a payload capacity of up to 650,000 pixels and a maximum size of 4096 × 4096 . It features 2 Gigabit LED outputs (primary + backup), 48 kHz stereo audio , LAN and Wi-Fi connectivity (switchable AP/STA), as well as ports for environmental sensors. Running Android 11 , 1.8 GHz Quad-core ARM A55 CPU, 1 GB RAM and 32 GB internal storage, it decodes H.264/H.265/VP9 video up to 4K@60 Hz for stable playback in retail, QSR, franchises and smart city projects.

Main features

• Upload capacity : up to 650,000 px per team; max width 4096 px , max height 4096 px .
• LED Outputs : 2 × RJ45 Gigabit for display (one primary and one backup).
• Processing & Playback : ARM A55 1.8GHz CPU, 1GB RAM, 32GB internal; 4K@60Hz (H.264/H.265/VP9) hardware video decoding and smooth playback of up to 2×4K , 6×1080p , 10×720p or 20×360p .
• Control Connectivity : 1 × Gigabit Ethernet (management/network), 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi with switchable AP and STA modes, USB 3.0 Type A (playback/update/storage) and USB Type B (PC control).
• Sensors and Sync : Two connectors for brightness and temperature/humidity ; sync between screens via NTP , GPS (requires a dedicated 4G module), or RF (requires a dedicated RF module). Activating synced playback halves the decoding capacity.
• Audio : Stereo output with fixed sampling rate of 48 kHz .
• External storage and formats : USB with ext4 and FAT32 file systems (FAT32 limits each file to 4 GB; exFAT/FAT16 is not supported). Supports JPG/JPEG (sRGB/Adobe RGB), BMP, GIF, PNG, WEBP images, and MPEG-1/2/4, H.264, H.265/HEVC, VP8/VP9, H.263, and MJPEG videos.
• Design and consumption : IP20 metal chassis, 274.3 × 139.0 × 40.0 mm, 1.23 kg ; power supply 100–240 V~ , 50/60 Hz, 0.6 A; 18 W max.; operating range −20 to +60 °C .
• Certifications : CE, UKCA, FCC, IC, RCM, EAC, KC, UL (Smark), CB, PSE, MIC, NOM, NBTC, IMDA, PSB, FAC DoC, ENACOM, ICASA, SRRC, CQC.

Product benefits

• All-in-one : Integrated player and sending card for less hardware, simple cabling, and faster deployments.
• Flexible operation : Local management via Ethernet/USB or remote management via Wi-Fi and cloud; Wi-Fi AP/STA modes can be switched depending on the scenario.
• Uniformity and automation : Integration with brightness and ambient sensors to adjust luminance in real time.
• Continuity : main output + backup to maintain transmission in the event of incidents in the transmission network.
• Efficiency : Low power consumption (18W max) with 4K hardware decoding for demanding UHD/FHD content.

Use cases

• Retail and QSR : Digital menus, window displays, and promotions coordinated by store or franchise.
• Corporate and education : signage, receptions and auditoriums with centralized control.
• Smart City and street furniture : screens on streetlights, totems, and canopies with remote programming.
• Chain of stores : NTP/GPS/RF synchronized publishing and remote monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does it have HDMI input or output? No. The TB30 works in asynchronous mode with RJ45 LED outputs, without HDMI input or output.
• Can Wi-Fi work on both AP and STA at the same time? No. AP and STA modes are switchable (not simultaneous).
• What is the default password for the Wi-Fi AP? The default password is printed on the product's SSID label . Older versions used "12345678."
• Are third-party Android apps supported? No. The device's Android 11 system does not support third-party apps.
• What USB file systems does it support? ext4 and FAT32 (exFAT/FAT16 are not supported).
