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.
