Novastar TCC160 Asynchronous Full-Color LED Display Control Card

The TCC160 is an asynchronous full-color LED display control card from NovaStar. It integrates sending and receiving capabilities, allowing users to publish content and control LED displays with a computer, mobile phone, or tablet. Working with cloud-based publishing and monitoring platforms, the TCC160 enables users to manage LED displays from an Internet-connected device anywhere, anytime.

Features

Inputs and Outputs
 For PWM driver ICs, the maximum pixel capacity per TCC160 is 512×512@60Hz. For general driver ICs, the maximum pixel capacity per TCC160 is 512×384@60Hz.
Maximum width/height: 2048 pixels (capacity not exceeding 260,000 pixels)
 Maximum capacity when multiple TCC160 cascaded: 650,000 pixels
Maximum width/height: 2048 pixels (pixel capacity not exceeding 650,000)
 Maximum width of an ultra-long screen: 8192 pixels, Maximum height of an ultra-long screen: 2560 pixels (maximum capacity per Ethernet port: 650,000 pixels)
 1x Stereo audio output
Control
 1x USB 2.0 (Type A) port
Allows for upgrade, USB playback, storage expansion, and log export.
 1x USB (Type B) port
Connects to the control computer for content publishing and screen control.
 2x RS485 connectors
Connect to light sensors, temperature and humidity sensors, or other modules to implement corresponding functions.
Performance
 Powerful processing capacity
− Industrial-grade processor
− Quad-core 1.4 GHz processor
− Hardware decoding of 4K videos
− 2 GB of RAM
− 32 GB of internal storage
 Flawless playback
Support for playback of 1x 4K, 3x 1080p, 8x 720p, 10x 480p, or 16x 360p videos
Functionality
 All-round control plans
− Allows users to publish content and control screens from a computer, mobile phone, or tablet.
− Allows users to publish content and control screens from anywhere, anytime.
− Allows users to monitor screens from anywhere, anytime.
 Wi-Fi AP and Wi-Fi STA can be turned on at the same time
− Wi-Fi AP allows the built-in Wi-Fi hotspot of the TCC160 to be connected. The default SSID is “AP+Last 8 digits of SN” and the default password is printed on the SSID label of the product.
− Wi-Fi STA allows users to access the TCC160 directly and connect the TCC160 to the Internet.
 Ultra-long-screen content playback
 Synchronous playback across multiple screens
Enabling synchronous playback halves the decoding capability of the device.
− NTP time synchronization
− GPS time synchronization
 Support for 4G modules
The TCC160 ships without a 4G module. Users have to purchase 4G modules separately if needed.
 Support for GPS positioning and GPS time synchronization
 Support for relay (maximum DC 30 V 3 A)
Receiving Card Features
 Up to 32 groups of parallel RGB data or 64 groups of serial data (expandable to 128 groups of serial data)
 Color management
Supports Standard (Rec.709 / DCI-P3 / Rec.2020) and custom color gamuts, enabling more precise colors on the screen
 18bit+
Improves the LED display grayscale by 4 times to avoid grayscale loss due to low brightness and allow for a smoother image.
 Low latency (This feature is turned off by default)
The latency of video source on the receiving card end can be reduced to 1 frame (only when using modules with driver IC with built-in RAM).
 Individual Gamma adjustment for RGB
Working with NovaLCT and the controller that supports this function, the receiving card supports individual adjustment to red gamma, green gamma and blue gamma, which can effectively control image nonuniformity at low grayscale conditions and white balance offset, allowing for a more realistic image.
 90° Image rotation
The display image can be rotated in multiples of 90° (0°/90°/180°/270°).
 Display of three color 16 pixels serial input
Supports display of the three color 16 pixels serial input of PWM chips
 Temperature and voltage monitoring
Real-time monitoring of the temperature and voltage of the receiving card, without the need for other external devices.
 Bit error detection
The Ethernet port communication quality of the receiving card can be monitored and the number of erroneous packets can be recorded to help troubleshoot network communication problems.
 Firmware program readback
The receiving card firmware program can be read back and saved to the local storage.
 Configuration parameter readback
The receiving card configuration parameters can be read back and saved to the local storage.
 Mapping 1.1 (available for cascaded receiving cards)
The cabinets can display the controller number, receiving card number, and Ethernet port information, allowing users to easily obtain the locations and connection topology of receiving cards.
 Dual program backup
Two copies of firmware program are stored in the receiving card at the factory to avoid the problem that the receiving card may get stuck abnormally during program update.
