Control Card
The T50 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 T50 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.
Taurus Series Multimedia Player T50 Specifications
Thanks to its reliability, ease of use, and intelligent control, the T50 becomes a winning choice for commercial LED displays and smart city applications such as fixed displays, lamp-post displays, chain store displays, advertisement players, retail store displays, door head displays, shelf displays, and much more.
T50
Output
Loading capacity up to 1,300,000 pixels
− Maximum width: 4096 pixels
Maximum height: 4096 pixels
− Non-standard resolutions can be customized in both asynchronous and synchronous modes and the pixel clock of the custom resolutions cannot exceed 153 MHz.
2x Gigabit Ethernet ports
These two ports serve as primary by default.
Users can also set one as primary and the other as backup.
1x Stereo audio connector
The audio sample rate is fixed at 48 kHz. If NovaStar’s multifunction card is used for audio output, audio with a sample rate of 48 kHz is required.
1x HDMI 1.3 connector
− Maximum output: 1920×1200@60Hz
− Support for HDMI loop
Input
1x HDMI 1.3 connector
In synchronous mode, video sources input from this connector can be scaled to fit the entire screen automatically.
2x Sensor connectors
Connect to brightness sensors or temperature and humidity sensors.
Control
1x USB 3.0 (Type A) port
Allows for USB playback, firmware upgrade and storage expansion.
1x USB (Type B) port
Connects to the control computer for content publishing and screen control.
1x Gigabit Ethernet port
Connects to the control computer, a LAN or public network for content publishing and screen control.
Performance
Powerful processing capacity
− Quad-core ARM A55 processor @1.8 GHz
− Support for H.264/H.265 4K@60Hz video decoding
− 1 GB of onboard RAM
− 32 GB of internal storage
Flawless playback
Support for playback of 2x 4K, 6x 1080p, 10x 720p, or 20x 360p videos
All-round control plans
− Enables users to publish content and control screens from a computer, mobile phone, or tablet.
− Allows users to publish content and control screens from anywhere, anytime.
− Allows users to monitor screens from anywhere, anytime.
Switching between Wi-Fi AP and Wi-Fi STA
− In Wi-Fi AP mode, the user terminal is connected to the built-in Wi-Fi hotspot of the T50. The default SSID is “AP+Last 8 digits of SN” and the default password is printed on the SSID label of the product.
− In Wi-Fi STA mode, the user terminal and the T50 are connected to the Wi-Fi hotspot of a router.
Synchronous and asynchronous modes
− In asynchronous mode, the internal video source works.
− In synchronous mode, the video source input from the HDMI connector works.
Synchronous playback across multiple screens
Enabling synchronous playback halves the decoding capability of the device.
− NTP time synchronization
− GPS time synchronization (The specified 4G module must be installed.)
− RF time synchronization (The specified RF module must be installed.)
Support for 4G/5G modules
The T50 ships without a 4G/5G module. Users have to purchase 4G/5G modules separately if needed.
Network connection priority: Wired network >Wi-Fi network > 4G/5G network (This order of priority is followed when the firmware is earlier
than V4.5.0. The networks coexist when the firmware is V4.5.0 or later.)
