How the TB20 Plus Works
For synchronous playback, connect a live source to the HDMI 1.3 input and send the processed signal to the LED display through the Gigabit Ethernet output. For asynchronous playback, publish programs over a network or load content through the USB Type-A port. The TB20 Plus then stores and plays the program according to the configured schedule. Its USB Type-B and Fast Ethernet interfaces provide additional options for setup and device management.
