Amlogic T972 Player board features multiple HDMI inputs – support 4K V-by-One displays and Android 9.0

Shenzhen Tomao, one of the leading OEM/ODM manufacturers with over 9 years of experience, has designed an Amlogic T972 multimedia network single-board computer with multiple HDMI inputs and a V-By-One display interface with support for up to 4K resolutions.

Targeted at digital signage applications, the Amlogic T972 SBC is powered by an advanced quad-core Cortex-A55 Amlogic T972 processor. The SoC is a combination of a powerful CPU/GPU subsystem, a best-in-class HDR image processing pipeline, and a secured 8K/4K video CODEC engine with all major peripherals in a cost-effective package. It is designed for worldwide UHD TV applications and so it features a 10/100/1000M Ethernet MAC with RGMII, USB 2.0 high-speed port, SDIO 3.0 controller, eMMC 5.0 controller, SLC NAND controller and multiple SD card controllers, UART, I2C, high-speed SPI PWMs, and a built-in IR blaster. The SoC already happens to power the Xiaomi Mi TV 5 and Mi TV 5 Pro 4k televisions as well as the Developer Board 7+ by Geniatech, you can say it is an equivalent to the Amlogic S905X3 SoC that is built for TV boxes.

The Amlogic T972 network player SBC also features a microSD card slot, 2GB or 4GB DDR4, 16GB eMMC flash expandable to 128GB, HDMI 2.1 receiver ports, up to 4K resolution V-by-One output, one 40-pin LVDS connector, USB 2.0 ports, 2.4G WiFi and Bluetooth (with a dual-band 2.4G/5G WiFi option), one headphone jack, serial expansion ports, mini PCIe slot, sim card slot, backlight header, up to four UART headers, RTC, and many more.
