NovaStar JT50 Plus multimedia player for traffic LED displays
The NovaStar JT50 Plus combines asynchronous media playback and LED transmission on one control board. It drives up to 650,000 pixels through one Gigabit LED output and is designed for full-color traffic displays, including tollbooth information screens, road guidance signs, parking displays and passenger information systems. Programs can be published through a network connection or directly from a computer over USB Type B.
Its quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor runs at 1.4 GHz, with 2 GB RAM and 32 GB internal storage. Hardware decoding supports 4K video files within the documented codec limits; the connected LED screen still has a 650,000-pixel capacity.
JT50 Plus loading capacity and connections
| Item | Specification and selection notes |
|---|---|
| LED loading | 650,000 pixels total; maximum width 2048 pixels or maximum height 2048 pixels, within the total pixel budget |
| LED OUT | 1 Gigabit Ethernet output to the LED receiving-card system |
| Network management | 1 separate 100 Mbps Ethernet port for program publishing and display control |
| USB connections | USB Type B for direct computer publishing/control; USB 2.0 Type A for flash-drive firmware upgrades |
| Wi-Fi | 2.4 GHz; supports AP mode and simultaneous AP + STA mode |
| Sensors and audio | 2 RS485 interfaces for compatible brightness or temperature/humidity sensors; 3.5 mm stereo audio output, fixed 48 kHz sampling |
| Relay | Maximum DC 30 V, 3 A; do not connect AC directly to the onboard relay |
Check the screen’s physical pixel matrix and receiving-card configuration before choosing a controller. A 2048 × 2048 canvas exceeds this board’s capacity, even though each individual dimension is within 2048 pixels. The management Ethernet port does not add another LED output.
Networking, synchronization and optional modules
AP + STA allows a user terminal to connect to the board’s hotspot while the player also connects to a wireless network. These are two operating modes on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. Network connection priority is wired Ethernet, then Wi-Fi, then optional 4G.
A 4G module is not included by default. NTP time synchronization is supported; GPS synchronization requires a specified 4G module, and RF synchronization requires a specified RF module. Confirm the module model, regional network support and synchronization plan before ordering. The specification describes support for mainstream transportation platform protocols, but compatibility with a particular platform needs project-specific confirmation.
Power, installation and media preparation
| Power input / maximum consumption | DC 5–12 V / 15 W |
|---|---|
| Board dimensions / net weight | 136.5 × 110.5 × 18.0 mm (L × W × H) / 114.1 g |
| Operating conditions | −40°C to +80°C; 0–80% RH, non-condensing |
| Protection | IP20; protect the board from water inside a suitable display enclosure |
Prepare media for the actual screen layout. For example, the specification lists H.265/HEVC decoding up to 4096 × 2304 at 60 fps, while H.264 at that resolution is limited to 30 fps. File extension alone does not establish compatibility. For firmware upgrades, USB storage supports Ext4 and FAT32; FAT32 has a 4 GB single-file limit.

NovaStar JT50 Plus questions
Does 4K decoding mean a 4K LED screen output?
No. Decoding describes supported media processing. LED loading remains limited to 650,000 pixels, with a maximum width or height of 2048 pixels within that budget.
Is the JT50 Plus Wi-Fi dual-band?
The specification lists 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi with AP and AP + STA modes. It does not specify 5 GHz dual-band Wi-Fi.
Are 4G and GPS included as standard?
No. 4G is optional, and GPS synchronization requires the specified 4G module. RF synchronization also needs its specified module.
What details are needed to check a replacement?
Send the current board model, receiving-card model, screen pixel dimensions, power supply voltage, platform/software details and required sensors or modules. These determine whether the JT50 Plus fits the installation.
