NovaStar TCC160
NovaStar TCC160
The TCC160 is an asynchronous full-color LED display control card from NovaStar with extensive IC driver support. It integrates sending and receiving capabilities, allowing users to publish content and control LED displays with a computer, mobile phone, or tablet. Working with cloud-based publishing and monitoring platforms, the TCC160 enables users to manage LED displays from an Internet-connected device anywhere, anytime. The TCC160 features 16 standard HUB75E connectors for communication and supports a comprehensive range of LED driver ICs including MBI, MY, ICN, SM, TLC, CFD, SCL, FM, LS, DP, and CS series. Maximum pixel capacity per TCC160 is 260,000 pixels (512×512 for PWM driver ICs, 512×384 for general driver ICs). When cascaded, up to 650,000 pixels are supported. The hardware and software designs take into full consideration on-site setup, operation, and maintenance, making setup easier, operation more stable, and maintenance more efficient.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the default Wi-Fi password?
For older Taurus devices, the default Wi-Fi password is "12345678". For newer devices, the default password is "SN2008@+" unless you have already changed it. If you are locked out, there is a factory reset button on the device that will restore the default password, but this will also cause it to lose all configurations.
Q: How do I configure the TCC160 with NovaLCT?
Taurus media players are configured slightly differently from regular controllers. In NovaLCT go to User -> Media Player Login, select the device from the list and click "Connect System". The username is admin and the password will be 123456 or SN2008@+
Q: How do I update the Firmware on TCC160?
In ViPlex Express go to Control -> Player Upgrade. Click on "..." and specify the path to the .nuzip file. If you only have the .zip version you need to extract it so you can use the .nuzip file.
