1. Features
1.1 Comprehensive Management Solutions
TB40 allows users to publish content and manage screens via PC, smartphone or tablet, providing the flexibility to manage displays from almost anywhere at any time. In addition, it supports remote monitoring of screens, improving operational oversight and efficiency.

1.2 Switching Wi-Fi Mode
Taurus TB40 offers the ability to switch between Wi-Fi AP and Wi-Fi STA modes. In AP mode, user devices connect to the TB40’s built-in access point, identified by the default SSID “AP+Last 8 digits of SN”, with the password provided on the product label. In STA mode, both the user device and TB40 connect to the router’s Wi-Fi access point.

1.3 Playback Modes
TB40 supports both synchronous and asynchronous playback modes. In asynchronous mode, the device operates using its internal video source, while in synchronous mode, it uses video input from the HDMI connector, ensuring flexibility in content delivery.

1.4 Synchronous playback on multiple screens
With synchronous playback enabled, the TB40 can halve the number of videos played simultaneously based on its decoding capabilities. It features NTP, GPS (with the required 4G module) and RF time synchronization (with the specified RF module), allowing for precise time synchronization across multiple displays.

1.5 4G/5G Module Support
Nova TB40 does not include a 4G/5G module by default; users need to purchase them separately if they wish. The device prioritizes network connections in the following order: wired network >Wi-Fi network> 4G/5G network (for firmware versions earlier than V4.5.0). With firmware V4.5.0 or later, these networks can coexist, providing additional flexibility for connection options.
