NovaStar TB30 for Lamp-Post and Retail LED Displays
The NovaStar TB30 is a Taurus multimedia player that stores and plays content while sending it to a full-color LED display. Its 650,000-pixel loading capacity suits smaller commercial screens, including lamp-post displays, shop signs and retail advertising displays. Content can be published and screens controlled from a computer, phone or tablet.
Playback, Screen Capacity and Network Control
The quad-core ARM A55 processor supports one 4K video or two 1080p videos. Video decoding resolution is separate from LED loading capacity: a 4K source does not make the TB30 a 4K-pixel LED sender. Its two LED Ethernet ports are assigned as one primary output and one backup, rather than two outputs that double the screen capacity.
Connect through wired Ethernet or switch between Wi-Fi AP and STA modes. A specified 4G module can be purchased separately for mobile networking and GPS time synchronization. NTP synchronization is also supported for coordinated playback across multiple screens. The network priority is wired Ethernet, then Wi-Fi, then 4G.

Installation and Model Selection
Check the display pixel count and width and height before choosing the player. IP20 is the stated enclosure rating; a lamp-post installation must provide appropriate protection for the player. The TB30 specification does not list HDMI input or output. If the project needs an external HDMI source, compare the documented connections of the TB40 before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many pixels can the NovaStar TB30 control?
The TB30 controls up to 650,000 pixels. Maximum width and height are each listed as 4096 pixels, but the complete screen must remain within the total pixel capacity.
Do the two LED Ethernet ports double the loading capacity?
No. The TB30 has one primary LED output and one backup port. The second port provides backup rather than an additional 650,000 pixels of capacity.
Can the TB30 play 4K video or accept HDMI input?
It supports one 4K video or two 1080p videos for content playback. This does not increase the LED loading capacity. HDMI input and output are not listed for the TB30 in the linked specification.
Is 4G included, and how does multi-screen synchronization work?
The TB30 ships without a 4G module. NTP time synchronization is supported; GPS time synchronization requires the specified 4G module, purchased separately.
Which USB drive formats does the TB30 support?
The USB Type-A port supports Ext4 and FAT32 for importing content and upgrades. The specification excludes exFAT and FAT16. The USB Type-B port is reserved.
