The flagship Taurus multimedia player — 2.3 million pixel all-in-one controller with 4× Gigabit Ethernet ports, optional 5G connectivity, 24 global certifications, and AC direct power. The official replacement for the discontinued NovaStar TB8.
What Is the Novastar TB60 LED Multimedia Player?
The Novastar TB60 LED Multimedia Player is the flagship model in NovaStar’s Taurus series — and the official replacement for the discontinued TB8. As the highest-capacity all-in-one playback and sending controller in the lineup, it drives up to 2,300,000 pixels across 4× Gigabit Ethernet ports — double the output capacity of the TB40 and TB50. It is the only Taurus model with optional 5G cellular module support, making it the definitive choice for large-scale LED video walls, stadium displays, and multi-cabinet smart city deployments.
Powered by the same quad-core ARM A55 @1.8 GHz processor and Android 11 OS shared across the Taurus family, the TB60 differentiates at the I/O layer: 4 Ethernet ports configurable in a 2+2 primary/backup topology, AC 100-240V built-in power supply with ON/OFF switch, and 24 international certifications including SIRIM (Malaysia). For LED screen manufacturer projects requiring maximum pixel density without cascading multiple controllers, the TB60 is the single-unit solution.
HDMI 1.3 IN/OUT enables synchronous and asynchronous LED control dual-mode operation — toggle between scheduled advertising loops and live HDMI-fed content with the front-panel SWITCH button. Combined with VNNOX cloud remote management and multi-screen NTP/GPS/RF synchronization, the TB60 serves as the central control hub for the most demanding fixed-installation LED display projects.

Novastar TB60 Key Features: 2.3M Pixels, 4-Port Ethernet & 5G Connectivity
Four flagship capabilities that make the TB60 the definitive choice for large-scale, multi-cabinet LED display projects.
2.3M Pixel Loading & 4K Decoding
The highest pixel capacity in the Taurus series — drives nearly double the TB40/TB50’s 1.3M limit. Quad-core A55 @1.8 GHz with H.265/HEVC 4K@60fps at 100 Mbps. Supports 1× 4K simultaneous with 2× 1080p, 5× 720p, or 6× 480p/360p streams. Ideal for P2.5 indoor walls up to ~17 m² or P10 outdoor displays up to ~230 m².
4-Port Ethernet: 2+2 Redundancy
The only Taurus model with 4× Gigabit Ethernet outputs. Flexible topology: all 4 as primary, or 2 primary + 2 backup, or 3 primary + 1 backup. Each port handles up to 650,000 pixels. For stadium video walls and building facades spanning hundreds of cabinets, this eliminates multi-controller cascading complexity.
5G-Ready & Triple-Network Stack
The only Taurus player with optional 5G module support (in addition to 4G). Gigabit Ethernet + 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi AP/STA simultaneous + 4G/5G cellular. Network priority: Wired > Wi-Fi > 4G/5G. Future-proofed for regions sunsetting 4G infrastructure and for bandwidth-intensive remote content workflows.
24 Global Certifications + AC Power
24 international marks including SIRIM (Malaysia) — the most certified Taurus model. Built-in AC 100-240V PSU with physical ON/OFF switch. VNNOX cloud for remote content updates, multi-screen NTP/GPS/RF sync, and real-time fleet monitoring across global deployments.
Novastar TB60 vs TB30 vs TB40 vs TB50: Which Taurus Model Fits Your Project?
The TB60 is the flagship — but the right model depends on pixel count, port requirements, and certification needs.
| Feature | TB30 | TB40 | TB50 | TB60 ⭐ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Max Pixel Loading | 650,000 | 1,300,000 | 1,300,000 | 2,300,000 |
| Ethernet Ports | 2 (1+1 Fixed) | 2 (Configurable) | 2 (Configurable) | 4 (2+2/3+1/4+0) |
| Cellular | Optional 4G | Optional 4G | Optional 4G | Optional 4G + 5G |
| HDMI Input/Output | None | 1 IN + 1 OUT | 1 IN + 1 OUT | 1 IN + 1 OUT |
| Power Supply | AC 100-240V | DC 12V Adapter | AC 100-240V Built-in | AC 100-240V Built-in |
| Certifications | 8+ | 3 | 23 | 24 (incl. SIRIM) |
| Replaces | TB3 | TB4 | TB6 | TB8 |
Verdict: The TB60 is the definitive Taurus flagship. If your project exceeds 1.3M pixels, requires more than 2 Ethernet outputs, or needs 5G cellular capability, the TB60 is the only Taurus model that satisfies all three requirements simultaneously. For projects under 1.3M pixels, the TB40 or TB50 offer better price-to-performance ratios.
Novastar TB60 4-Port Ethernet Architecture: 2+2 Redundancy Explained
The TB60 is the only Taurus model with 4 Ethernet outputs. Understanding the topology options is critical for large-scale deployment planning — each port handles up to 650,000 pixels.
Configuration 1: 4 Primary (4+0)
All four ports drive separate cabinet chains independently — maximizing throughput for the largest displays. Each port carries up to 650,000 pixels; total loading: 2.3M pixels (the hardware ceiling, not the sum of per-port limits). Best for stadium video walls and building facades where cabinet count exceeds what 2 ports can handle.
Configuration 2: 2 Primary + 2 Backup (2+2)
Two ports drive the display; the other two carry identical redundant data streams. If a primary Ethernet cable fails, the corresponding backup port takes over with zero frame loss — the same hot-standby architecture as the TB40/TB50, but with doubled redundancy density. Recommended for control rooms, broadcast studios, and 24/7 retail where downtime is unacceptable.
Configuration 3: 3 Primary + 1 Backup (3+1)
Three ports drive separate cabinet chains; one port serves as backup for all three. This asymmetric configuration is useful when cabinet layout geometry pushes three of four chains close to the 650K per-port limit but leaves one chain well under — the backup port covers the most heavily loaded chain.
Deployment Tip: When using the 2+2 configuration, always physically route primary and backup cables through different pathways. A single conduit cut that takes out both cables defeats the redundancy. For outdoor installations, use shielded Cat6 STP cables and refer to our LED screen installation guide for cabling best practices.

TB8 to Novastar TB60 LED Multimedia Player Migration Guide & 5-Year ROI Analysis
Published: August 2026 | 12 min read | UnifyLED Engineering Team
NovaStar discontinued the TB8 — the previous-generation flagship multimedia player. For the large-scale LED installations still running on TB8 hardware (stadiums, building facades, smart city networks), the migration path is clear: the TB60. This guide provides the engineering rationale, hardware compatibility matrix, and 5-year total cost of ownership analysis for the upgrade.
TB8 vs TB60: What Changed
The TB8 was built on an older ARM A7 processor with Android 7.0, limited to H.264 1080p decoding, and carried approximately 8 regional certifications. The TB60 upgrades every subsystem: quad-core A55 @1.8 GHz (3.5× single-core performance), Android 11, H.265 4K@60fps, 24 certifications, optional 5G, and 4 configurable Ethernet ports replacing the TB8’s fixed 2-port layout. The physical chassis is dimension-compatible (274.3×139.0mm footprint), making the TB60 a mechanical drop-in for most TB8 enclosures.
4-Port Ethernet: The Migration Advantage
The TB8’s fixed 2-port layout limited large displays to 1.3M effective pixels per controller — requiring multi-controller cascading for anything larger. The TB60’s 4-port architecture drives 2.3M pixels from a single unit, eliminating cascade complexity, reducing cabling by 50%, and removing inter-controller latency. For a stadium display that previously required 3× TB8 units in cascade, a single TB60 handles the same pixel count with lower latency and fewer failure points.
5-Year ROI: TB8 Maintenance vs TB60 Migration
For a 30-unit large-format deployment, continuing with TB8: annual maintenance of approximately $180/unit (dwindling replacement stock, unsupported firmware, compliance gaps in 5G-era regulations) totals $27,000 over 5 years. Migrating to TB60: one-time $15,000 hardware + $2,500 reconfiguration labor = $17,500. Net 5-year savings: $9,500 (35% reduction), plus operational gains from 4K content capability, 5G future-proofing, and 24-certification global compliance. See our guides on choosing an asynchronous LED media player and LED display power consumption for additional operational optimization strategies.
