NovaStar TB3 LED Controller and Multimedia Player
The NovaStar TB3 stores and plays content for full-color LED displays up to 650,000 pixels. It combines local playback, LED sending and network content management for shop signs, advertising screens and other smaller commercial displays.
Availability note: This listing identifies the TB3 as no longer in production and recommends the NovaStar TB30 as an alternative. Compare the interfaces, screen dimensions and software requirements before replacing an installed TB3.
Content Publishing and Screen Management
The TB3 supports ViPlex Express on Windows and ViPlex Handy on Android and iOS for screen management, content editing and publishing. The linked specification also lists NovaLCT-Taurus for Windows screen configuration. Internet-connected deployments can use the documented VNNOX publishing and monitoring workflow.
Dual Wi-Fi provides AP, STA and AP+STA modes. For mobile networking, a compatible 4G module must be purchased for the destination country or region and installed in advance. The automatic connection priority is wired network, Wi-Fi STA, then 4G.

Synchronization and Redundancy
Multiple TB3 units can play the same program in sync when their clocks are synchronized and synchronous display is enabled. For stricter synchronization requirements, the specification recommends a time synchronization module. Primary/standby LED Ethernet backup helps maintain the receiver-card connection; it does not double the pixel capacity.
