NovaStar T50 LED Multimedia Player
The NovaStar T50 is a Taurus multimedia controller that combines content playback with LED sending. Its 1.3-million-pixel capacity supports commercial displays such as shop signs, chain-store screens and lamp-post displays. Publish content and control the screen from a computer, phone or tablet.
HDMI Input and Internal Playback
Use HDMI input for synchronous playback or the internal video source for asynchronous playback. The HDMI 1.4 output supports a loop connection and a maximum output of 1080p at 60 Hz. In synchronous mode, full-screen scaling requires a source width from 64 to 2048 pixels and supports scaling down only.
The processor can decode H.264/H.265 4K video and play one 4K video or two 1080p videos. These playback capabilities are separate from the LED loading limit and the HDMI output resolution.

Network Access and Multi-Screen Synchronization
The T50 supports wired networking and Wi-Fi AP or STA mode. When several networks are available, the priority is wired Ethernet, Wi-Fi, then 4G. The 4G module is not included by default.
For multi-screen playback, use NTP time synchronization or add the specified hardware for GPS or RF synchronization. GPS requires the specified 4G module, while RF requires the specified RF module. The T50 also includes relay control and sensor connections; follow the documented electrical limits and connection diagrams for the installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many pixels can the NovaStar T50 control?
The T50 supports up to 1,300,000 pixels. Its maximum width and height are each 4096 pixels, but the complete display must remain within the total capacity.
Can the T50 switch between HDMI input and internal content?
Yes. The HDMI source operates in synchronous mode and the internal source in asynchronous mode. The device includes a switch for these modes.
Does the T50 output 4K over HDMI?
The V1.0.0 specification lists HDMI output up to 1080p at 60 Hz. Its 4K capability refers to video decoding and internal playback, not a 4K HDMI output.
Are the two LED ports both active outputs?
They are both primary outputs by default. One can instead be configured as a backup; choose the port configuration to match the screen layout and redundancy requirements.
What extra hardware is needed for GPS or RF synchronization?
GPS synchronization requires the specified 4G module, purchased separately. RF synchronization requires the specified RF module. NTP time synchronization is also supported.
