INTRODUCTION
About
The TAVIS (Thermal AudioVisual Integrated Solution) TAV-BX1 is an all-in-one infrared temperature sensing solution
comprised of the RXM-1 ReAX Media Server and the TAV-A80 Thermal Camera Unit. It is the ultimate way to turn any
display into a full featured temperature sensor and much more. It is a perfect solution for creating custom kiosks or advanced
digital signage with analytics. To ensure that people entering a location are not presenting a high temperature, the TAV-
BX1 will provide alerts when a person is running a high temperature within 1 second from up to 5 feet (1.5 meter) away.
The system uses advanced algorithm for detecting and calculating heat signatures even the tear ducts (Canthus) at close
distances, achieving more accurate readings with IR technology. The highly accurate 80x64 sensor measures with a
tolerance of +/- 0.3 degrees Celsius (+/- 0.5 degrees Fahrenheit).
Mask detection has become an important part of screening. TAVIS uses advanced AI algorithms to quickly identify if a
person is wearing masking.
TAVIS + ReAX™ offers state-of-the-art digital signage capabilities, security features and control systems integration.
Beyond the thermal detection features, TAVIS + ReAX™ can be used in conjunction with QR codes to check in employees,
confirm identification with gestures, connect to a secure database, provide on-screen instructions and much more. With
ReAX™, you can import your own HTML, CSS, or JavaScript code to design TAVIS’s interface. Even with no coding
experience, ReAX Core Studio™ allows the average user to create his or her desired interface using the studio’s intuitive
tools.
To compliment the TAVIS hardware, Aurora has developed a Server software TAVIS Central which allows full monitoring of
all TAVIS units at a facility. Reporting, alerts, statistics, firmware updating, remote monitoring, and even recording capabilities
are available.
