The NovaStar Taurus Series Multimedia Players are second-generation devices specifically designed for medium-small size LED full-color displays, suitable for various display devices and application scenarios. This document outlines application solutions for AD players, mirror screens, and post screens, highlighting the key features and operational aspects of the Taurus series.
The Taurus series products serve as multimedia players, enabling the display of advertisements, information, and various content on LED screens. They are designed to support a range of commercial display applications, including those found in shopping malls, hotels, office buildings, exhibitions, banks, stations, and communities. The devices offer both individual and cluster management capabilities, allowing for flexible deployment and control over numerous displays.
A core function of the Taurus series is synchronous playing, which allows multiple displays to play the same image simultaneously with high accuracy. This is achieved through advanced synchronous playing and scheduling technologies. For synchronous playing to function, it must be enabled on ViPlex or VNNOX, the time of multiple Taurus products must be synchronized, and the playing plans must be identical without random transitions or media. Time synchronization can be achieved via NTP (Network Time Protocol) or RF (Radio Frequency) modes. NTP synchronization relies on an NTP server and network speed, consuming 4G network traffic. RF synchronization, on the other hand, requires setting master and slave devices and an RF device, and does not consume network traffic, though its signal reception depends on the environment and distance.
The devices also support smart brightness adjustment, which includes both auto and timing brightness adjustment. Auto brightness adjustment automatically adjusts display brightness based on ambient environment brightness, while timing brightness adjustment sets the display brightness to a specific value at predefined times. Taurus products are equipped with brightness sensor connectors, allowing users to connect a light sensor and configure smart brightness adjustment rules via ViPlex. Manual brightness adjustment is also supported.
For connectivity, the Taurus series products can be equipped with a 4G module, enabling connection to the Internet via 4G network. This expands the range of application scenes where wired or Wi-Fi connections might not be feasible. The Taurus prioritizes connection methods in the following order: wired network, Wi-Fi Sta, and 4G network. If all three are enabled, the device automatically selects the signal according to this priority.
Cluster management is another significant feature, addressing the growing need to manage and monitor numerous displays in different locations, especially in smart city and commercial applications. NovaStar offers two cloud services for this purpose: VNNOX and NovaiCare. VNNOX is a cloud publishing service for remote content management and terminal control, allowing users to edit and publish solutions remotely. NovaiCare is a cloud monitoring service for remote display monitoring. Both services can be accessed via PC, Pad, or mobile phone as long as an Internet connection is available.
The Taurus series also supports splicing applications, allowing multiple displays to be combined to form a larger, cohesive screen. This is particularly useful for creating expansive visual experiences.
The Taurus series offers several features that enhance its usability and adaptability in various environments:
