Introduction
The MBOX600 Pro is an LED display controller created by NovaStar. It
integrates an industrial PC and the sending capability. This controller is
used outdoors and applies to the scenarios where no PC is used for LED display
control, for example, fixed outdoor displays.
A mouse, keyboard and monitor can be connected to the MBOX600 Pro for software
installation, screen configuration, content playback, etc. Working with
VNNOXCare Configuration and LCT Lite, the MBOX600 Pro can enable remote
control, cabinet configuration, local playback, playback preview and more.
Certifications
