Planning a complete display?Let's calculate the system that works with this device together.
Calculate
Best suited for
- Advertising and information displays managed through the cloud without a permanent PC.
- Synchronous installations where a PC or live HDMI/DVI source is shown one-to-one on the display.
- Displays with a total load of up to 1,300,000 px (2 Ethernet outputs).
Key features (manufacturer)

Modes
- Synchronous and asynchronous modes
-
- In asynchronous mode the internal video source works
- in synchronous mode the HDMI video source works (SWITCH button)
- Synchronous playback across multiple screens
-
- NTP time synchronization
- GPS time synchronization (the specified 4G module must be installed)
- RF time synchronization (the specified RF module must be installed). Enabling it halves the number of videos that can be played simultaneously.
Connectivity
- Wi-Fi
-
- Wi-Fi AP and Wi-Fi Sta can be turned on at the same time
- 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi supported
- 4G/5G
-
- Support for 4G/5G modules
- the device ships without a 4G/5G module (purchased separately). Priority: Wired network > Wi-Fi network > 4G/5G network for firmware earlier than V4.5.0
- the networks coexist from V4.5.0.
