Certifications
RoHS, CCC
Features
Output
⬤Loading capacity up to 1,300,000 pixels
Maximum width: 4096 pixels
Maximum height: 4096 pixels
⬤2x Gigabit Ethernet ports
These two ports serve as primary by default.
Users can also set one as primary and the other as backup.
⬤1x Stereo audio connector
The audio sample rate of the internal source is fixed at 48 kHz. The audio sample rate of the external source supports 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz. If NovaStar’s multifunction card is used for audio output, audio with a sample rate of 48 kHz is required.
⬤1x HDMI 1.4 connector
Maximum output: 1080p@60Hz, support for HDMI loop
Input
⬤1x HDMI 1.4 connector
In synchronous mode, video sources input from this connector can be scaled to fit the entire
screen automatically.
⬤2x Sensor connectors
Connect to brightness sensors or temperature and humidity sensors.
Control
⬤1x USB 3.0 (Type A) port
Allows for playback of content imported from a USB drive and firmware upgrade over USB.
⬤1x USB (Type B) port
Connects to the control computer for content publishing and screen control.
⬤1x Gigabit Ethernet port
Connects to the control computer, a LAN or public network for content publishing and screen control.
Performance
⬤Powerful processing capacity
− Quad-core ARM A55 processor @1.8 GHz
− Support for H.264/H.265 4K@60Hz video decoding
− 1 GB of onboard RAM
− 16 GB of internal storage
⬤Flawless playback
2x 4K, 6x 1080p, 10x 720p, or 20x 360p video playback
Functions
⬤All-round control plans
− Enables users to publish content and control screens from a computer, mobile phone, or tablet.
− Allows users to publish content and control screens from anywhere, anytime.
− Allows users to monitor screens from anywhere, anytime.
⬤Switching between Wi-Fi AP and Wi-Fi STA
− In Wi-Fi AP mode, the user terminal connects to the built-in Wi-Fi hotspot of the TB40. The default SSID is “AP+Last 8 digits of SN” and the default password is “12345678” .
− In Wi-Fi STA mode, the user terminal and
the TB40 are connected to the Wi-Fi hotspot of a router.
⬤Synchronous and asynchronous modes
− In asynchronous mode, the internal video source works.
− In synchronous mode, the video source input from the HDMI connector works.
⬤Synchronous playback across multiple screens
− NTP time synchronization
− GPS time synchronization (The specified 4G module must be installed.)
⬤Support for 4G modules
The TB40 ships without a 4G module. Users have to purchase 4G modules separately if needed.
Network connection priority: Wired network > Wi- Fi network > 4G network.
When multiple types of networks are available, the TB40 will choose a signal automatically according to the priority.
