NovaStar Taurus T6 Multimedia Player Card
The NovaStar T6 is a bare multimedia player card for full-color LED displays. It supports content publishing, local playback and HDMI input, with a documented capacity of 1.3 million pixels. It can serve an individual shop display or a group of commercial advertising screens.
Availability: The original listing marks T6 as discontinued and recommends the NovaStar T50 as an alternative. Check the installation, power and connection requirements before replacing a T6 card.
HDMI and Asynchronous Playback
Internal content runs in asynchronous mode. An HDMI input source runs in synchronous mode, with automatic full-screen adaptation. The T6 supports manual or scheduled mode switching and HDMI priority. Its HDMI output supports a loop connection.
Legacy T6 Specifications
This table preserves the version-specific values from the manufacturer’s V1.0.0 document, dated 20 July 2017, which match the original listing. Later T6 revisions differ; identify the installed hardware before using these values for a replacement.

The document lists rated voltage/current and maximum consumption separately. Use the exact unit’s power requirements when planning an installation; these published figures have not been recalculated or substituted.
Network Control and Screen Synchronization
Use ViPlex Express on Windows or ViPlex Handy on Android and iOS for content editing, publishing and screen management. NovaLCT-Taurus provides screen configuration on Windows. The documented remote workflow uses VNNOX for publishing and NovaiCare for monitoring.
Wi-Fi AP gives direct access to the card; STA connects it through a router; AP+STA supports both access paths. The network failover priority is wired Ethernet, Wi-Fi STA, then 4G. A 4G module slot is documented, but the listed package contents do not establish that a module is included.
For multi-screen playback, enable synchronous display and use synchronized clocks and the same program on the participating T6 units. The two standby LED ports provide redundancy and do not increase the 1.3-million-pixel limit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the NovaStar T6 still in production?
The original listing identifies T6 as discontinued and recommends T50 as an alternative. Compare the exact installation and connection requirements before replacing an existing T6.
How much memory and storage does this T6 specification list?
The V1.0.0 reference used for this listing specifies 2 GB of operating memory and 8 GB of internal storage. Do not apply these legacy values to a different hardware revision without checking its document.
Can the T6 switch between HDMI and stored content?
Yes. HDMI is used for synchronous playback and the internal source for asynchronous playback. Manual and scheduled switching, HDMI priority and HDMI loop output are documented.
Do all four LED Ethernet ports add screen capacity?
No. The T6 uses two primary ports and two standby ports. The standby pair provides redundant connections; total loading remains 1.3 million pixels.
Which software manages the T6?
The V1.0.0 document lists ViPlex Express for Windows, ViPlex Handy for Android and iOS, and NovaLCT-Taurus for Windows screen configuration. VNNOX is listed for remote publishing.
