Search intent
What Matters When Selecting TB1
Playback & Publishing
TB1 is searched as a multimedia player, so selection is not only about pixels. Confirm how content will be published—local network, Wi‑Fi, USB, optional 4G or Nova Cloud depending on the exact generation—and whether synchronous playback is required.
Replacement & Generation
Do not infer TB1 specifications from a similarly named Plus/T-series model. Preserve the existing screen mapping and receiving-card configuration before replacing a Taurus player.

Project checklist
Before Buying or Replacing TB1
Screen Resolution
Record total width × height, cabinet resolution and Ethernet-port mapping.
Receiving Cards
Identify the exact receiving-card model, hub board and current configuration file.
Video / Content Source
List the required video connectors or publishing method instead of assuming another model has the same inputs.
Software & Firmware
Match the controller/player generation before upgrading firmware or configuration software.
Replacement Goal
Decide whether you need a drop-in spare or a platform upgrade with new features.
Backup
Keep mapping, receiving-card parameters, firmware information and photos before service work.
