NovaStar T50
The T50 is the open-frame (board-level) edition of NovaStar's Taurus multimedia player — the same integrated playback-and-sending electronics as the enclosed TB50, supplied as a bare control board for integration into custom LED cabinets and OEM enclosures. The TB50 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 TB50 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.
