Pixel loading for the Taurus Series starts at just 650,000 which is often more than enough for a roadside digital display. We can upgrade to 1,300,000 or 2,300,000 for higher resolutions or multiple displays at a shared location with just one Taurus.

Taurus is a reliable and value-priced component of most any indoor or outdoor display that is sharing your message.

1-bit is black and white, but not grey. 2-bits adds in black-grey and white-grey. 4-bits doubles that to 16 shades of grey and 8-bits brings us to 256 shades and 16,700,000 colours.

The Taurus Series defaults to 8-bits which is generally consistent with the image and video source files that provide content for commercial digital signage.

The Taurus Series relies on NovaStar Armor receiver cards plus NovaLCT Configuration Tools and ViPlex video control software.

Armor receiver cards include the A5S Plus, A8S-N and A10S Pro which provide for reliable performance and exceptional image quality, pixel-level brightness and chroma calibration.

The NS060 ambient brightness sensor is compact enough to fit inside most outdoor display cabinets, which it comfortably does with XYZ dimensions of just 39 × 39 × 83 millimeters.

The NS060 is connected to your NovaStar Taurus Multimedia Player or other controller or function box through a standard 5-meter or optional 10-meter cable.
