Novastar Taurus series T6 large screen multimedia player control card

T6 has been no longer in production and we recommend the alternative model as following: Novastar T50

Classification of Taurus` application cases is shown in Table:

Table1-1 Application

Classification	Description
Market type	•Advertising media: To be used for advertising and information promotion including bar screen and advertising machine, •Digital signage: To be used for signage display in retail stores including retail store screens and door head screens. •Commercial display commercial information of hotel, cinema and shopping mall, such as chain store screens.
Networking mode	•Independent screen: Use a PC or the client software of a mobile phone to enable single-point connection and management of a screen. •Cluster screen: Use the cluster solution developed by NovaStar to realize centralized management and monitor of multiple screens.
Connection type	•Wired connection: A PC connects to Taurus through the Ethernet cable or LAN. •Wi-Fi connection: PC, Pad and mobile phone can connect to Taurus through Wi-Fi, which can be enabled in the case without PC in conjunction with ViPlex software,

2.1. Synchronous Display

The T6 support switching on/off unction of synchronous display.

When synchronous display is enabled, the same content can be played on different displays synchronously if the time of different T6 units are synchronous with one another and the same program is being played.

2.2. Powerful Processing Capability

The T6 feature powerful hardware processing capability:

•Support for 1080P video hardware decoding

• Eight-core processor

• 2 GB operating memory and 8 GB internal storage space.

2.3. Omnidirectional Control Plan

Connecting Mode	Client Terminal	Related Software
Connecting via network line Connection via Wi-Fi	PC	ViPlex Express NovaLCT-Taurus
Connection via LAN	PC	ViPlex Express NovaLCT-Taurus
Connection via Wi-Fi	Mobile phone and Pad	ViPlex Handy
Wi-Fi AP=Sta/wired/4G	Mobile phone and PC	ViPlex Handy ViPlex Express
Wi-Fi AP=Sta/wired/5G	Mobile phone and PC	ViPlex Handy ViPlex Express

Cluster control plan is a new internet control plan featuring following advantages:

• More efficient: Use the could service mode to process services through a uniform platform. For example, VNNOX is used to edit and publish program. And NovaiCare is used to centrally monitor display status.

• More reliable: Ensure the reliability based on active and standby disaster recovery mechanism and data backup mechanism of the server.

• More safe: Ensure the system safety through channel encryption, data fingerprint and permission management.

• Easier to use: VNNOX and NovaiCare can be accessed through Web. As long as there is internet, operation can be performed anytime and anywhere.

• More effective: This mode is more suitable for the commercial mode of advertising industry and digital signage industry, and makes information spreading more effective.

2.4 Synchronous and Asynchronous Dual-Mode

The T6 supports synchronous and asynchronous dual-mode, allowing more

 Application cases and being user-friendly.

 When Internal video source is applied, the T6 is in asynchronous mode, when

HDML-input video source is used, the T6 is in synchronous mode content can be

scaled and displayed to fit the screen size automatically in synchronous mode.

 Users can manually and timely switch between synchronous and asynchronous

Modes, as well as set HDML priority

2.5. Dual Wi-Fi Mode:

The T6 have permanent Wi-Fi AP and support the Wi-Fi Sta mode, carrying advantages as shown below:

  • Completely cover Wi-Fi connection scene, The T6 can be connected to through self-carried Wi-Fi AP or the extern al router,

• Completely cover client terminals. Mobile phone, Pad and PC can be used to log in T6 through wireless network.

 • Require no wiring. Display management can be managed at any time, having improvements in efficiency.

T6`s Wi-Fi AP signal strength is related to the transmit distance and environment. Users can change the Wi-Fi antenna as required.

2.5.1 Wi-Fi AP Mode

       Users connect the Wi-Fi AP of a T6 to directly access the T6 .The SSID is “AP + the last 8 digits of the SN”, for example, “AP10000033”, and the default password is “12345678”.

2.5.2 Wi-Fi Sta Mode

     Configure an external router for a T6 and users can access the T6 by connecting the external router. If an external router is configured for multiple T6 units, a LAN can be created. Users can access any of the T6 via the LAN.

2.5.3 Wi-Fi AP +Sta Mode

In Wi-Fi AP + Sta connection mode, users can either directly access the T6 or access Internet through bridging connection. Upon the cluster solution, VNNOX and NovaiCare can realize remote program publishing and remote monitoring respectively through the Internet.

2.6. Redundant Backup

T6 support network redundant backup and Ethernet port redundant backup

• Network redundant backup: The T6 automatically selects internet connection mode among wired network, Wi-Fi Sta or 4Gg network according to the priority.

• Ethernet port redundant backup: The T6 enhances connection reliability through active and standby redundant mechanism for the Ethernet port used to connect with the receiving card
