Novastar TB30 LED Multimedia Player for 4K LED Displays
The NovaStar TB30 is a compact, reliable multimedia player and sending controller for full-color LED displays. It combines content playback, screen sending, and remote management so installers and operators can publish and monitor signage from a computer, phone, or tablet. On current firmware it loads up to 1,300,000 pixels through two Gigabit Ethernet outputs, and it is built for scheduled content rather than live video input.

Key features
- 1.3 million-pixel loading capacity: two Gigabit Ethernet outputs, both primary by default and configurable as one primary plus one backup. Maximum canvas 4096 x 4096 pixels, with ultra-long screens supported up to 23,040 pixels wide on the current specification.
- 4K processing: Quad-core ARM A55 processor at 1.8 GHz with H.264 decoding up to 4K at 30 Hz and H.265/HEVC decoding up to 4K at 60 Hz.
- Stable local storage: 1 GB RAM and 32 GB internal storage for dependable scheduled playback, plus support for 2-128 GB USB drives in FAT32 or NTFS format.
- Flexible playback: Play one 4K, two 1080p, five 720p, six 480p or six 360p videos at the same time.
- Asynchronous playback only: the TB30 has no HDMI or other video input. When a screen has to show a live laptop, camera or player feed, use the NovaStar TB40 or add a video processor.
- Remote publishing and monitoring: Manage LED content and screen status from a computer, mobile phone, or tablet, wherever an Internet connection is available.
- Wi-Fi AP + STA: the built-in hotspot and a connection through a router can both be active at the same time.
- Multi-screen synchronization: Coordinate playback with NTP time synchronization. GPS synchronization is available when the specified 4G module is installed, and RF synchronization with the specified RF module.

Recommended applications
Use the TB30 for retail signage, transportation displays, corporate lobbies, education, hospitality, events, and other distributed LED installations that need scheduled content and remote supervision. Its integrated playback and sending workflow can reduce the number of devices required at each screen.
