Dual HDMI outputs - Switch between HD Station and Linux desktop The TS-453A comes with dual HDMI outputs for using two monitors in either a "duplicated" or "extended" desktop configuration. Duplicating will display the same content on both displays, and extended desktop mode allows users to display applications over two displays for improved multitasking convenience and productivity. When displaying content using HDMI outputs, you can use the TS-453A as an amazing multimedia player by using HD Station to enjoy rich apps including Kodi, HD Player, Plex Home Theater, YouTube, Spotify, JRiver, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and more. Alternatively, you can choose to output the Linux operating system desktop to use the TS-453A as a PC.

Enjoy the best audiovisual experience on TV including a free remote control QNAP HD Station integrates the powerful Kodi media player and web browser. With HDMI connectivity, you can connect the TS-453A to a HDTV or an A/V receiver to enjoy your rich multimedia content and 4K( H.264) videos with the best audiovisual experience. The splendid user interface of Kodi, 7.1 channel audio passthrough, and the TS-453A's powerful real-time transcoding capability facilitate smooth and enhanced playback of 4K videos. You can even watch YouTube videos, surf the web and manage the TS-453A using a web browser with multilingual keyboard input. HD Station supports multi-tasking and user authentication so only authorized users can access the stored data. The TS-453A includes a QNAP remote control for you to conveniently control HD Station through its built-in IR receiver. With the help of the new smart remote control learning function, you can pair up to three TV or stereo IR remote controls and program your frequently-used buttons and functions. From now on, you'll never again live in fear of losing or damaging your dedicated remote controls. You can also turn your mobile devices into remote controls by installing the Qremote app.

Superior real-time and offline 4K video transcoding Featuring advanced 8th-generation Intel HD Graphics, the TS-453A supports 4K (H.264) hardware decoding and delivers superior real-time 4K (H.264) and 1080p video transcoding to convert videos to universal formats that can be smoothly played on PCs, mobile devices and Smart TVs. With offline transcoding, even when you can only connect using a low-speed Internet connection, you can still enjoy smooth video playback via File Station, Video Station, and the Qfile mobile app by selecting a pre-rendered lower resolution video. The TS-453A also allows you to set a dedicated folder for automatic video transcoding.

Restore files with Snapshot QTS Storage Manager adds an easy-to-use web-based snapshot tool for you to easily backup and restore data on the TS-453A back to any point of time in case you lose any important data. You can take snapshots for both volumes and LUN (up to 256 snapshots per volume or LUN and maximum 1024 snapshots per NAS), efficiently replicate volume/LUN snapshots via Snapshot Replica to remote servers by copying only the changes made, and quickly clone a volume /LUN snapshot as a local volume without interrupting the current system operation. You can even set up the system to automatically take a snapshot of the volume before backup via RTRR/rsync, even when the file is opened.
