NovaStar - TU15 Pro

TU15 Pro is a versatile all-in-one processor based on Android 11 for interactive control and playback aimed at the world of LED displays, offers a maximum loading capacity of 2.6 Mpixels, multi-dimensional image enhancement technology, media player function from USB, App or cloud, Cloud Publishing & Cloud Monitoring, meeting control system, voice commands, wireless screen mirroring, sending card functionality and more, all in one device. It is compatible with cameras, audio systems and laser pointers commonly used in meetings. It supports up to 4096 pixels horizontally and 1920 pixels vertically.

The processor has a very essential appearance and rather compact dimensions: it measures only 211.7 x 50.6 mm. There are no buttons on the front panel, other than the power button, and a USB 2.0 port for the mouse, a keyboard, a pen drive for reading multimedia files (images and videos) and other common USB devices. TU15 Pro, in addition to being a processor, also acts as a media player, and therefore as a source.

On the back there are:

• 2 HDMI 1.3 inputs supporting a maximum resolution of 2048×1152 @ 60 Hz and frame rates of 30 / 50 / 60 Hz
• 2 USB 2.0 ports
• 4 RJ45 outputs for direct connection to LED displays, with an upload capacity of up to 2.6 Mpixel (with scaling function enabled)
• 1 HDMI 1.3 output (1080p)
• A pair of audio outputs, one analogue on a 3.5 mm mini-jack connector and the other digital SPDIF

The unit is controlled in various ways:

• Via an Ethernet port (from PC with NovaLCT software)
• RS232 on 4 pin Phoenix connector
• IR IN/OUT, always on Phoenix connector but with 6 pins (supports the self-learning functions of the remote control, activates the execution of various functions via programming)
• Relay to control the switching on and off of the connected device

There is also a SENSOR port to connect to the light or temperature sensor.

3 antennas are for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Dual Wi-Fi mode allows Wi-Fi and wireless hotspot connections at the same time!

The processor is equipped with an industry-leading image quality enhancement algorithm, which results in microscopic vision of details; you can act on contrast, color and details in order to make the image bright, full and sharp.

Being a totally Plug & Play unit, it does not require an upstream PC, since the multimedia contents can be played from a USB stick, via the Smart Control APP or using the supplied remote control, which allows control of the playback of local programs and the simple modification of the program on the screen, also possible by installing the App on the mobile phone.

The device also supports wireless screen mirroring from Windows, macOS, iOS and Android terminals, a highly useful function for collaboration both during meetings and conferences and in the university environment.

For 1080p video, mirrored transmission is up to 60 fps with system latency less than or equal to 80 ms at 8 m and is stable for at least 72 hours without the risk of a dropped connection. For different application scenarios, it provides 4 modes to enable document presentation, video playback and remote meetings.

With Wireless Speech mode, meeting participants can speak directly into the terminal's microphone and the voice is transmitted wirelessly to the LED display's audio system.

Various positioning options: hanging on the wall, on a surface or rack mounted (fins are supplied), for quick setup and easy integration into the environment.

Conference and congress rooms, corporate exhibition pavilions, luxury shops, shopping and advertising centres, educational and government classrooms, hotel lobbies represent typical applications.
