About the NovaStar TB4
The TB4 was the no-frills 1.3-million-pixel player in NovaStar's first Taurus generation: the same chassis and 8-core processor as the TB6, but with two LED outputs, no port redundancy, and Wi-Fi AP only. It served thousands of storefront and billboard installs from around 2018 until the new-generation TB40 replaced it.
