Firmware by controller family
Find your controller family below, then download the matching firmware package. Current releases link to NovaStar’s servers; our hosted copies cover older hardware that current firmware no longer supports. Firmware is loaded through NovaLCT (sending boxes) or ViPlex Express (Taurus players). Not sure how many controllers or receiving cards your screen needs? Use our NovaStar LED processor calculator.

Which controller do I have?
Not sure which download you need? Check the model name printed on your Novastar hardware:
- MCTRL300 / MCTRL600 / MCTRL660 / MCTRL4K — sending boxes used with a separate playback PC. The model number is printed on the front panel. Use the matching DATA firmware package above and configure with NovaLCT.
- Taurus T30 / T40 / T50 / T60 (and -J variants, LCB4K) — asynchronous multimedia players that store and play content themselves. Use the Taurus firmware and OS packages above and manage content with ViPlex Express.
- VX600 / VX1000 — all-in-one controllers combining video processing and sending. Use the VX600 or VX1000 firmware upgrade package above.
You can compare the full range on our Novastar LED video processors page. For managing screen content remotely, see Novastar cloud CMS. If you are still unsure which controller your screen uses, contact us with a photo of the unit and we will point you to the correct file.
