TB60 LED Playback and Sending Controller
The NovaStar TB60 combines multimedia playback and LED sending for commercial screens, including retail signs, chain-store displays, lamp-post screens and shelf displays. Its four Gigabit Ethernet outputs support a total load of up to 2.3 million pixels. Content can be published from a computer, phone or tablet, with cloud publishing and monitoring for connected installations.
Choose asynchronous mode for the internal media source or synchronous mode for the HDMI input. Multi-screen playback can use NTP time synchronization; GPS synchronization requires the specified optional 4G module.

Scaling, Backup and Network Selection
In synchronous mode, full-screen scaling requires a source width from 64 to 2048 pixels. The linked specification permits downscaling only, not upscaling. The 4K figure refers to media decoding and should not be used as a full 4K LED loading specification.
All four LED ports are primary by default. The alternative arrangement uses two primary and two backup ports. Network selection follows this order: wired Ethernet, Wi-Fi, then 4G. The TB60 ships without a 4G module, which must be purchased separately when needed.


Frequently Asked Questions
How many pixels can the TB60 control?
It supports up to 2.3 million pixels across four LED Ethernet outputs. Maximum width and height are each 4096 pixels, subject to the total load; this is not a 4096 × 4096 loading rating.
What is the difference between synchronous and asynchronous modes?
Asynchronous mode uses the internal media source. Synchronous mode uses the HDMI input. The front-panel SWITCH button selects the mode.
Can TB60 enlarge an HDMI image to fit the screen?
The linked specification supports downscaling only in synchronous full-screen scaling mode. It requires a source width between 64 and 2048 pixels and does not support upscaling in that mode.
Does TB60 include 4G and GPS synchronization?
The 4G module is purchased separately. GPS time synchronization requires the specified compatible 4G module; NTP synchronization is also supported.
Which USB file systems and apps are supported?
USB media import supports Ext4 and FAT32, while exFAT and FAT16 are excluded in V1.0.0. Although the device uses Android 11.0, the specification states that third-party apps are not supported.
