SKU: trend-tc-astic-232
Availability: InStock

Overview

The Trend TC-Astic-232 is a compact Android media player stick that plugs into the HDMI input of a display and plays 4K Ultra HD signage content. It combines a quad-core Amlogic S905X2 processor at 2GHz, 2GB of memory and 32GB of storage with dual-band Wi-Fi, integrated Gigabit-class LAN and Bluetooth 4.2. It suits retail shops, hotel reception areas and school corridors in Qatar that need a simple way to update content on an existing screen.

What the TC-Astic-232 does for a display

The Trend TC-Astic-232 is a stick-format media player. It plugs into the HDMI input of a monitor or TV, runs Android and plays signage content without a dedicated computer behind the screen. It has no display of its own, so it suits organisations that already own screens and want to add managed content. Its output resolution of 3840x2160 makes it suitable for sharp menus, wayfinding slides and promotional video on large panels.

Processing, memory and storage

An Amlogic S905X2 quad-core ARM Cortex A53 processor running at 2GHz drives the unit, with an ARM Dvalin MP2 GPU handling graphics. The device has 2GB of memory and 32GB of storage. Those figures should be checked against your media library, because a playlist of long, high-resolution videos needs more storage planning than a set of static menus. Image formats listed are JPEG, BMP, GIF, PNG and TIF, and audio formats listed are MP3, AAC, WMA, RM, FLAC and Ogg.

Ports and connectivity

HDMI: one port for the display connection
USB and Micro USB: one of each
TF card slot and IR port: one of each
Wi-Fi: 802.11n on 2.4GHz and 5GHz
Wired LAN: integrated 10/100/1000Mbps, auto-adaptive
Bluetooth: version 4.2

The data sheet lists the LAN as integrated but does not show a dedicated Ethernet socket among the I/O ports, so confirm the wired connection method with the SmartRooms Qatar team before planning cable runs in a wall-mounted installation.

Where it fits in Qatar

A retail unit in Msheireb can run a rotating product and offer loop on a single screen, with content updated over Wi-Fi without visiting the shop each time. A serviced apartment reception in The Pearl can show guest information and local directions on a wall-mounted TV while the player sits inside the reception cabinet. A private school in Al Rayyan can show timetables, event notices and announcements in corridors, with Arabic and English content prepared as separate media files.

Planning the installation

At 98 x 33 x 13 mm and 350g in a plastic chassis, the unit is small enough to hide behind a display or sit on a shelf. The listed power input is DC 5V/1A, and a blue LED shows when the unit is working. Before ordering, confirm the power adapter and how it connects to Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz supply, because the data does not describe the adapter. The source also gives no operating temperature range, and summer temperatures in Qatar can exceed 45 degrees Celsius, so avoid sealed or unventilated cabinets. Our free site survey is the right point to check cable routes, mounting position and airflow.

Ordering and optional software

The configuration list includes an optional Digital Signage Software package with 1GB of cloud server storage. Ask about it when you request a quote so it can be matched to your content plan. SmartRooms Qatar supplies organisations across all eight municipalities, accepts purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders including those on Monaqasat, and accepts payment by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. The manufacturer's one-year warranty applies. Request a quote for the TC-Astic-232 and tell us how many screens you plan to run.

Questions about TC-Astic-232

What is the Trend TC-Astic-232 used for?

It is a media player stick for digital signage. It plugs into the HDMI input of a monitor or TV, runs Android, and plays images, audio and video from its 32GB of storage. It suits organisations that already own displays and want to show managed content, such as a retail menu, a hotel reception loop or a school corridor board, without installing a computer behind each screen. Request a quote if you need several units across different sites.

Does it output 4K Ultra HD?

Yes. The specification lists a resolution of 3840x2160, which is 4K Ultra HD, delivered through its single HDMI port. The picture is only as sharp as the display accepts, so check that your monitor or TV supports a 3840x2160 input before ordering. In a lobby or boardroom where viewers stand close to a large screen, that resolution keeps menu text and wayfinding slides crisp. SmartRooms Qatar can advise on matching display sizes when you request a quote.

How much memory and storage does it have?

The unit has 2GB of memory and 32GB of storage, driven by an Amlogic S905X2 quad-core ARM Cortex A53 processor at 2GHz. Storage is the figure to plan around. A playlist of short images and a few clips may fit comfortably, while a library of long, high-resolution videos needs a total file size check before deployment. Add up your media files, then ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to confirm capacity for your playlist.

Which media file formats does it support?

The data lists image formats JPEG, BMP, GIF, PNG and TIF, and audio formats MP3, AAC, WMA, RM, FLAC and Ogg. Video codecs are not listed in the source data, so do not assume a particular video file will play. Before a campaign launches, test a sample of your actual clips on a unit and confirm playback. If a file type you rely on is missing, ask the SmartRooms Qatar team before you request a quote.

How does it connect to the network?

It offers Wi-Fi 802.11n on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, an integrated LAN rated 10/100/1000Mbps with auto-adaptive speed, and Bluetooth 4.2. The data does not show a dedicated Ethernet socket among the listed ports, so confirm the wired connection method before planning cable runs. Where a site cannot easily run cable to the display, Wi-Fi may be the practical route, but signal strength at the mounting point should be checked during a site survey.

What ports does it have?

The port list includes one HDMI port, one USB port, one Micro USB port, one IR port and one TF card slot. The HDMI port carries the picture to the display. The USB port and TF card slot can hold local media files, which is useful for a backup copy or an offline loop. The IR port is listed, but the source does not describe its function, so confirm with the team what it supports before you rely on it.

What power does it need, and what does the indicator show?

The listed power input is DC 5V/1A, and a blue LED shows when the unit is working. Qatar's mains supply is 240 V, 50 Hz with BS 1363 (Type G) sockets, but the data sheet does not describe the adapter supplied, so confirm the adapter and plug arrangement before ordering. Plan a socket close to the mounting point and keep the adapter cable accessible for servicing and resets.

How big is it, and where can it go in a hotel lobby?

The chassis measures 98 x 33 x 13 mm and weighs 350g, in plastic. It is small enough to sit behind a wall-mounted TV in a lobby or on a shelf in a reception cabinet. The data does not list a mounting kit, so the fixing method must be agreed separately. A free site survey can check the cable route from the display to the cabinet and the ventilation space around the unit.

Can it be used outdoors or in a hot location?

The source data does not give an operating temperature range or an IP rating, so do not treat this model as suitable for outdoor, sun-exposed or unventilated locations. Qatar summer temperatures can exceed 45 degrees Celsius, which is a real risk inside a sealed cabinet or near a window. Confirm the installation environment with the SmartRooms Qatar team, and keep the unit in a ventilated, air-conditioned space.

Does it support Arabic on screen?

The source data lists English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and other languages for the interface, but it does not list Arabic. A school or office working in Arabic and English should confirm interface language support before ordering. Media files such as images and videos can still be prepared in Arabic, but system menus may appear in a different language. Ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to clarify this before you request a quote.

Can I add signage software to the player?

Yes. A Digital Signage Software package with 1GB of cloud server storage is offered as an optional configuration. It is not part of the base unit, so state it clearly in your quotation request. A multi-branch retailer in Lusail, or a clinic with waiting-room screens across several floors, may find a central content system useful. Confirm the software terms and how the cloud storage fits your playlist before ordering.

Can a government ministry or school buy this through an LPO?

Yes. SmartRooms Qatar supplies organisations against purchase orders (LPOs), takes part in government tenders including those on Monaqasat, and delivers to all eight municipalities of Qatar. Payment can be made by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. The TC-Astic-232 carries the manufacturer's one-year warranty. Quotations are usually issued within one working day, so send your required quantity and site locations to start the process.
