About the NovaStar TB60
The TB60 is a new generation of multimedia player created by NovaStar for full-color LED displays. This multimedia player integrates playback and sending capabilities, allowing users to publish content and control LED displays with a computer, mobile phone, or tablet. Working with our superior cloud-based publishing and monitoring platforms, the TB60 enables users to manage LED displays from an Internet-connected device anywhere, anytime. Support for multi-screen synchronous playback and synchronous and asynchronous modes makes this multimedia player a perfect fit for a wide range of applications.
About the NovaStar TB8
The TB8 was the flagship of NovaStar's first Taurus generation: 2.3 million pixels of loading capacity over four Gigabit LED outputs (configurable as 2 main + 2 backup), dual-mode synchronous/asynchronous playback with an HDMI 1.3 input and loop, dual Wi-Fi, and NTFS USB support. Sold from late 2018, it powered countless billboards and retail walls until the TB60 replaced it. If you run TB8s today they still work with current ViPlex software, but for new projects — or when a TB8 fails — the TB60 is the drop-in successor.
