NovaStar Taurus T6 multimedia player card — legacy reference
The T6 is listed as no longer in production. EagerLED recommends the NovaStar T50 as an alternative. Check the exact screen configuration and replacement hardware before ordering.
The NovaStar T6 is a bare multimedia player card for LED signage. It combines internal program playback with HDMI-source operation, Wi-Fi access and network publishing. The reference below follows the original V1.0.0 configuration; later T6 revisions have different physical and operating specifications.
T6 V1.0.0 specifications

| Processor / decoding | Eight-core processor; 1080p hardware video decoding |
| Memory / storage | 2 GB operating memory; 8 GB internal storage |
| HDMI | HDMI 1.4 input and output in the original connector reference; loop output supported |
| USB / audio | 2 USB 2.0 host interfaces for imported playback; stereo audio output |
| Networking | Gigabit wired network; Wi-Fi AP, STA and AP + STA modes; 4G module slot |
| Power | DC input; rated voltage 5 V; rated current 3 A; listed maximum consumption 18 W |
| Card dimensions / weight | 167.0 × 135.6 × 22.0 mm (H × W × D as listed); 181.7 g |
| Storage environment | 0°C to 50°C; 0–80% RH |
| Operating environment | −40°C to 80°C; 0–80% RH in V1.0.0 |
| Original package dimensions | 200 × 120 × 40 mm |
The original package list contains one T6 bare card, one patch Wi-Fi antenna, one column omnidirectional Wi-Fi antenna and one 18 cm IPex-to-SMA extension lead. This is a legacy packing reference, not a guarantee of accessories in a replacement quotation.
Revision check: the original storage-temperature and storage-humidity labels were reversed on this listing; the values above now use the labels in V1.0.0. Later V1.4.1 documentation lists a different maximum height, dimensions, weight and operating-temperature range. Do not combine those revisions or use the legacy values to approve an unidentified card.
Internal playback, HDMI and coordinated screens
Internal content uses asynchronous mode. HDMI input uses synchronous mode, with automatic screen-fit display; manual and scheduled mode switching and HDMI priority are described in the original content. Confirm the source timing and screen mapping for the installed firmware.
Coordinated playback across several T6 units is a separate function: the units need synchronized time and the same program. The 1.3-million-pixel limit remains a screen-loading constraint, and separate maximum dimensions cannot be multiplied into a supported full-size canvas.
Wi-Fi access and publishing software
AP mode provides direct access to the player’s hotspot. STA mode connects through an external router. Combined AP + STA operation supports direct access alongside the configured network connection. The legacy factory SSID is “AP” plus the final eight serial-number digits, with password “12345678”; use the current credentials if these have changed.
| Software | Role |
|---|---|
| ViPlex Handy | Android/iOS screen management, program editing and publishing |
| ViPlex Express | Windows screen management, program editing and publishing |
| NovaLCT-Taurus | Windows display configuration |
The legacy content references VNNOX for publishing and NovaiCare for monitoring. Confirm platform and software compatibility for an existing installation. Network backup and LED output-port backup serve different purposes; preserve the working wiring and configuration during replacement planning.

T6 frequently asked questions
Is the NovaStar T6 still in production?
The existing listing states that production has ended and recommends the T50. Ask EagerLED to verify the replacement against your screen and receiving cards.
Do four Ethernet outputs double the stated screen capacity?
No. The original T6 arrangement uses two primary and two standby LED ports. Standby ports are for backup, not an additional independent full-load canvas.
Can the T6 accept a live HDMI source?
Yes. The original configuration supports HDMI input in synchronous mode and internal playback in asynchronous mode. Confirm timing, scaling and firmware requirements for the installed card.
Are all T6 revisions the same size and temperature rating?
No. The V1.0.0 values retained here differ from later documentation. Use the precise revision and structural drawing for enclosure or mounting work.
What should I provide for a T6 replacement check?
Send the model and revision label, screen resolution, receiving-card models, wiring map, power arrangement and sample media. Include live HDMI, synchronization and network requirements.
Request the matching T6 document or a T50 replacement review from EagerLED.
