NovaStar T1-4G Taurus Multimedia Controller Card
The NovaStar T1-4G combines content playback and LED sending on a controller card for commercial signage. It supports publishing through a computer, phone or tablet, with local screen management and remote content workflows.
T1 and T1-4G Documentation
The original description and attached PDF contain specifications for the earlier T1 V1.0.0: a 1.5 GHz quad-core processor and 8 GB storage. The manufacturer’s T1-4G (Optional 4G) V1.6.2 document specifies a 1.2 GHz quad-core processor and 32 GB storage, with 28 GB available to users. These are different documented configurations; they should not be combined into one specification.
The following reference table identifies the T1-4G Optional 4G version explicitly. Confirm the supplied card and module configuration when matching an existing installation.

Publishing and Optional 4G
The Optional 4G version ships without a 4G module by default. With a suitable module installed and mobile data enabled in ViPlex, it can connect over a mobile network. Wired networking takes priority when both wired and 4G connections are available.
ViPlex Handy provides mobile management on Android and iOS. ViPlex Express supports publishing on Windows, and NovaLCT handles screen configuration. The USB Type-B port provides a direct PC connection for configuration and publishing. VNNOX and ViPlex also support real-time or scheduled screen on/off control with the required hardware connection.
Playback and Installation Checks
The earlier T1 document describes synchronized playback of the same program across units whose clocks are synchronized. That statement does not establish an HDMI video-input capability for the T1-4G: the V1.6.2 connector list does not include HDMI. Check the precise card revision for synchronization requirements and installed interfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are T1 and T1-4G specifications interchangeable?
No. The original T1 V1.0.0 document lists a 1.5 GHz processor and 8 GB storage, while T1-4G Optional 4G V1.6.2 lists 1.2 GHz and 32 GB storage. Use the document matching your exact card.
Is a 4G module included with T1-4G Optional 4G?
No. That configuration ships without the module by default. A suitable module must be purchased separately if mobile networking is required.
Can I publish content through USB?
The V1.6.2 configuration provides USB Type-B for direct PC configuration and publishing. Its USB 2.0 host port supports importing content from a USB drive.
Does the T1-4G accept HDMI input?
HDMI input is not listed in the T1-4G Optional 4G V1.6.2 connector specification. The synchronized-playback description in the older T1 document should not be interpreted as HDMI-input support.
How many pixels can the T1-4G control?
The documented capacity is 650,000 pixels. Maximum width is 1920 pixels and maximum height is 1080 pixels, with the complete display remaining within the total capacity.
