NovaStar TB50: LED Signage Playback and Control
The NovaStar TB50 is a Taurus-series multimedia player that stores advertising content and sends it to a full-color LED display. Use asynchronous playback for scheduled retail promotions, or synchronous mode for a live HDMI source. Its maximum LED loading capacity is 1,300,000 pixels; source-video decoding resolution is a separate specification and does not increase the LED pixel capacity.
At a glance: two Gigabit Ethernet LED outputs, LAN and Wi-Fi publishing, live HDMI input, and optional cellular connectivity. Suitable applications include shop windows, chain-store signage, shelf displays and fixed advertising screens.

Offline Playback or Live HDMI: Which Mode?
- Asynchronous playback: publish media to the player for local playback without a continuously connected source computer. Remote updates still require an available network connection.
- Synchronous playback: use the HDMI input when the screen needs to follow an external live source.
- Multiple screens: synchronized playback is supported with appropriate configuration. Check timing, network and optional module requirements before planning a synchronized installation.
Choose the Standard or 4G Configuration
Choose the standard TB50 where a suitable LAN or Wi-Fi connection is available. For sites without fixed network access, select the listed TB50 with 4G module option and confirm the module’s regional bands and SIM/data-service requirements with EagerLED. The standard unit does not include the optional 4G module.
Before ordering, send your screen’s pixel width and height, receiving-card model, installation country and preferred publishing method. A screen measuring 1,600 × 720 pixels contains 1,152,000 pixels, within the stated total capacity; the actual port allocation and receiving-card configuration still need checking.

TB50 Setup Checklist
- Confirm the screen configuration. Check total pixels, cabinet mapping and receiving-card compatibility before connecting the LED outputs.
- Choose the connection method. Use local LAN or Wi-Fi for commissioning. Verify cellular-module compatibility if the installation uses 4G.
- Configure the display. Use the software and firmware appropriate to the supplied hardware; keep a copy of the working screen configuration.
- Publish a test program. Test the intended media files and playback schedule, then test live HDMI separately if required.
- Validate the installation. Check image mapping, audio if used, network recovery and restart behavior before handing over the system.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum LED resolution of the TB50?
The total loading capacity is 1,300,000 pixels. Maximum width and height must also stay within the limits for the selected firmware and screen configuration. A 4K media-decoding capability does not mean the player can drive a full 4K LED wall.
Can the TB50 play content without an internet connection?
Yes. Asynchronous mode plays media stored locally. An internet connection is needed for internet-based remote publishing and monitoring, rather than for every moment of local playback.
Does the TB50 include 4G?
The standard TB50 does not include a 4G module. This product offers a separate configuration with a 4G module; confirm regional compatibility and data-service requirements before ordering.
Does the TB50 have 16 GB or 32 GB storage?
Both figures appear in NovaStar documentation for different revisions. The original specification lists 16 GB, while later documentation lists 32 GB. Ask EagerLED to confirm the hardware version and storage of the unit being supplied.
