What Is the NovaStar TU4K Pro?
The TU4K Pro is designed by Xi’an NovaStar Tech Co., Ltd. for professional LED display applications. Unlike a separate media player, sending card and video processor setup, it integrates these functions into a single device. This reduces the number of components required in conference rooms, showrooms, auditoriums and standalone LED display installations.
The built-in Android platform supports third-party applications and local media playback. Users can control the LED screen from the front-panel LCD or remote control, publish programs through an app, and mirror content wirelessly from Windows, macOS, iOS or Android devices.
Key Features and Benefits
13-Million-Pixel LED Display Capacity
The NovaStar TU4K Pro supports a total load of up to 13 million pixels. Its flexible image sizing supports canvases as wide as 16,384 pixels or as high as 8,192 pixels, making it suitable for ultra-wide presentation walls, high-resolution control rooms and other non-standard LED layouts.
4K HDMI and 12G-SDI Inputs
Two HDMI 2.0 inputs accept signals up to 3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz, while one HDMI 1.3 input supports standard 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz sources. The 12G-SDI interface provides high-bandwidth, uncompressed video transport for broadcast, production and live-event environments.
20 Ethernet and Dual Optical Outputs
Twenty Gigabit Ethernet output ports connect directly to the LED receiving-card network. Two 10G optical outputs support long-distance transmission and installations where fiber connectivity is preferred.
Multi-Stream 4K Playback
Hardware decoding for H.264 and H.265 video enables smooth high-resolution playback. The TU4K Pro can decode up to four 4K video streams or nine 1080p streams simultaneously, supporting multi-window presentations and information-rich display layouts.
Wireless Presentation and Remote Management
Dual Wi-Fi modes allow hotspot and wireless network connections at the same time. Cross-platform screen mirroring helps presenters share content from Windows, macOS, iOS and Android devices without changing the LED display cabling. App-based tools can be used for program editing, publishing and device monitoring.
Image Processing for Different Content Types
NovaStar’s Dynamic Engine analyzes frames in real time to improve image presentation. Standard, Meeting, Vivid and Skin modes help match the picture to documents, remote meetings, video and people-focused content. Eye Comfort Mode is available for long viewing sessions.
