Introduction
The TB20 is a new generation of multimedia player designed for full-color LED displays. This multimedia player integrates playback and sending capabilities, allowing users to publish content and control LED displays with a computer, mobile phone, or tablet. Working with the superior cloud-based publishing and monitoring platforms, the TB20 enables users to manage LED displays from an Internet-connected device anywhere, anytime. The TB20 can play content from a USB drive, satisfying various playback demands. Multiple protection measures such as terminal authentication and player verification are taken to keep the playback secure. Thanks to its reliability, ease of use, and intelligent control, the TB20 becomes a winning choice for commercial LED displays and smart city applications such as fixed displays, lamp-post displays, chain store displays, advertisement players, retail store displays, door head displays, shelf displays, and much more.

 Wi-Fi AP and Wi-Fi Sta can be turned on at the same time - Wi-Fi AP User terminal devices can connect to the built-in Wi-Fi hotspot of the TB20. The default SSID is "AP+Last 8 digits of SN" and the default password is printed on the SSID label. - Wi-Fi AP+Wi-Fi Sta Users can connect the TB20 to a Wi-Fi network and turn on the Wi-Fi hotspot at the same time.
 Ultra-long-screen solution playback  Synchronous playback across multiple screens
Enabling synchronous playback halves the decoding capability of the device. - NTP time synchronization - GPS time synchronization (The specified 4G module must be installed.)

TB20 Multimedia Player Specifications
- RF time synchronization (The specified RF module must be installed.)  Support for 4G/5G modules
- The TB20 ships without a 4G/5G module. Users have to purchase 4G/5G modules separately if needed. - Network connection priority: Wired network > Wi-Fi network > 4G/5G network (This order of priority is
followed when the firmware is earlier than V4.5.0. The networks coexist when the firmware is V4.5.0 or later.)

HDMI IN

1x HDMI 1.3 input connector  Maximum input resolution: The pixel clock cannot exceed 165 MHz.  Maximum input: 2048×1024@60Hz  HDCP 1.4 compliant, backwards compatible with HDCP 1.3  No support for interlaced signal input  Support for custom resolutions:
- Custom width range: 64~2048 pixels (64x64@60Hz~2048x64@60Hz - Custom height range: 64~2048 pixels (64x64@60Hz~64x2048@60Hz)
Note: The resolution of HDMI IN can be customized by changing the preset EDID, so the external source must support custom resolutions.  In synchronous mode, HDMI is used for video input and users can enable full-screen scaling to
make the image fit the screen automatically. Requirements for full-screen scaling in synchronous mode:
- 64 pixels  video source width  2048 pixels - 64 pixels  video source height  2048 pixels - Maximum resolution: 2048×1024@60Hz - Images can only be scaled down and cannot be scaled up.
Note: The pixel width and height of the video source must be greater than or equal to the pixel width and height of the screen, respectively.
