3. Functions
3.1 Comprehensive Control Options
The Taurus TB60 provides flexible control methods, allowing users to publish content and manage screens through a computer, mobile phone, or tablet. With remote access capabilities, users can easily update content, control screens, and monitor display performance from any location, at any time.
3.2 Wi-Fi Mode Switching
In Wi-Fi AP mode, the device creates its own Wi-Fi hotspot for direct connection with user devices. The default SSID format is “AP+Last 8 digits of SN,” with the password preset to “12345678.”
In Wi-Fi STA mode, the TB60 connects to a router’s Wi-Fi hotspot, allowing it to join an existing network.
3.3 Synchronous and Asynchronous Display Modes
Asynchronous mode utilizes the internal video source for independent playback.
Synchronous mode plays video content from an external HDMI input, maintaining real-time display alignment with other connected screens.
3.4 Multi-Screen Synchronous Playback
The TB60 enables seamless synchronization across multiple screens, ensuring content remains consistent. It achieves this through two time synchronization options:
NTP (Network Time Protocol) synchronization for networked setups.
GPS synchronization for precise timing, requiring a compatible 4G module for activation.
3.5 4G Module Support
While the TB60 does not include a 4G module by default, users can install one separately for enhanced connectivity. The TB60 prioritizes networks in the following order: wired, Wi-Fi, and then 4G. If multiple connections are available, the TB60 will automatically select the best option according to this hierarchy, providing reliable connectivity in diverse settings.
