Connections
The VP72 4K is capable out outputting video from either Composite Video (4), VGA (6) or HDMI (5). The VP72 4K is capable of outputting audio through HDMI or R/L audio plugs (3) (using the included A/V cable), while HDMI or VGA is being used. The I/O port (2) is used for TTL/RS232 communication and connecting to our line of interactive solutions including PUSH, MOVE, SENSE, WAVE, RFID and ELEVATE. The USB on the front (8) can be used for content playback and/or for a keyboard / mouse. Use the enclosed power supply and make sure to line up the pins on the plug and then “Twist & Lock” the plug into the jack (1). The VP72 4K will only output 1 video source at a time. Use the remote to select HDMI, VGA or A/V.
- HDMI Resolution: The VP72 4K will auto detect the maximum resolution of the TV connected but you can access all the options
- Network: For clients using Schedule Mode then connection to Wifi is helpful for the time sync feature
- Audio: Options – Passthrough/Spdif Passthrough/HDMI Bit Stream.
- Date and Time: Adjust the date and time or set for “automatic”
Playback Modes (Interactive – Instant & Delayed)
These modes would be used if you have an application that requires interactive
video triggering using one of our solutions (45) (PUSH, MOVE,
WAVE, SENSE, RFID, RF PUSH and ELE- (47) VATE). For example: Lets say your
application requires a looping video and 3 mechanical buttons that each play a
specific video (photo or audio) file when pressed. First you would load 4
videos on your SD/USB (46). These files would need to be labeled 000.mov (mov,
mp4, jpg, mp3, etc..), 001.mov, 002.mov and 003.mov (47). The video file
000.mov represents the video that will loop endlessly until either button 1
(48)(001.mov will play), 2 (002.mov will play) or 3 (003.mov will play) is
pressed.
- Instant mode (40) will trigger a different video even if the first video has not finished playing. For example: If 3 but- tons are available and button 2 is pressed, video 002.mov will begin playing. If button 3 is pressed, then video 002. move will stop and video 003.mov will instantly play.
- Delayed mode (41) will ignore any additional button or sensor triggers until the 1st video is finished playing. For example: If 3 buttons are available and button 2 is pressed, video 002.mov will begin playing, play once and then loop the 000.mov video again. If button 3 is pressed during video 002.mov, the VP72 4K will ignore all requests for a new video until the 1st selected video is done playing.
Note: The file names MUST start with 3 numbers but you can add additional
verbiage after the first 3. For example: 000 – Main Looping Video.mp4
001 – Learn More About Our Museum.mov
002.mpeg
003 – The Music Of The Wascanegi People.mp3
Playback Modes (Scheduling) (39)
This mode would be used if you wish to play specific videos at different times
of the day and/or week. The VP72 4K will read a text file (48) that is loaded
on your USB/SD that you create and can edit at any time. The text file must be
placed on the same USB/SB that contains the video, photo and/or audio files.
For example if you wanted to play a breakfast menu from 9am to 11am, a lunch
menu from 11am to 3pm and a dinner menu from 3pm to 11pm you would use this
scheduling mode. Once scheduling mode is selected you simply need to create a
text file (48) with start and stop times and load it on the same SD/USB as
your video/audio/photo files (49). A sample play list can be downloaded from
our web site or can be manually typed from the example (48).
- [MOVIE–AUTOFILE] (50) will be your looping attract screen or default video. Even if you plan to play content all day, everyday you must enter a file and load it on the SD/USB. The “Jennys Logo.jpg” will loop whenever no other start/stop time is active.
- [DAY_TO_PLAY] Represents what day of the week you wish to play the indicated file. Days of the week must be entered as follows MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT (51) SUN. If you wish to play the content everyday, then enter ALL (52). You can input an unlimited number of stop and start times and the scheduler works off of a 7 day calendar.
Tip: The text file must be called playlist.txt (48).
Image Settings
The VP72 has several options for creating transitions when playing
photos/images from SD/USB. These settings do not apply to creating transitions
between videos or videos to photos… only photo to photo.
-
Image Delay: (60) The time between switching from one image to the next.
-
Image Transition Delay: (61) The amount of time that elapses from the start of the transition to the end.
-
Image Transition Effect In and Out: (62) Chose from a variety of transitions including Fade In/Out, Rotate and Slide In/Out. You can choose a different transition when bringing the new image in and out.
-
Image scale type: (63) While it is best to use images
that match your screen size (If your screen is 1920×1080, make the image a proportional size ex: 1920×1080 or 2880×1620) the VP71XD 4K can scale your images as well.- Center Crop: Image will be centered & if the image is larger then the screen.. edges will be cropped.
- Fit Center: If your image is larger than the screen then the horizontal or vertical portion of the image will be adjusted to fit which would leave black bars on the sides of the screen.
- Fit XY: If your image is larger or smaller than the screen then the image will be adjusted (Squeezed or Stretched) to fit.
- Fit Start: The image will be scaled vertically and if it is smaller than the screen size it will be flushed to the left and have a black space on the right.
This player has pre-loaded sample videos and is ready to test right out of
the box
If you ordered one of our interactive solutions the SD (9) will be loaded with
a looping 000.mov file and multiple trigger files (001.mp4, 002.mov, etc.).
The player will also be set to interactive mode. Simply con-nect the VP72 4K
to a TV, connect the interactive device (45) and power on the player.
System and Play Mode Settings
To access the various content playback options (in order, random, schedule or
interactive) or photo play-back options, simply remove SD/USB and when on the
home screen, press the “SELECT” button. You can also access this setting
screen when videos or photos are playing buy using “mouse mode” (or by
plugging in a mouse) and moving the cursor to the upper right corner.
Note: If the “Settings Guidelines” (14) is checked an animated on screen
display will show settings ac-cess instructions each time the set-tings are
saved.
Play Content From USB/SD
The VP72 4K is pre-set to play from USB or SD, which will auto power on and
auto loop any video, audio and/or photos loaded on the SD or USB drive. Once
you connect the player to a TV or monitor, simply load your video, audio
and/or photo files onto any SD Card or USB drive and insert it into the
player. The order in which the files are sorted on the card (alphanumeric) is
the order in which they play. Your player will start play and continue to auto
loop until power is turned off. Once power is restored the VP72 4K will auto
start and auto play without any manual interaction.
Playback Modes (In Order, Random, Schedule and Interactive)
Below is a brief description of what each File Playback Mode does. All 5 modes
can be used when playing from USB or SD.
In Order: (36) All the content loaded either on an SD or USB will be played in alpha numeric order. In the example below (37) the first file to be played would be “Adams.mpeg”, then “Break Dancer.mov” and lastly, “Costa Rica.mov”. Once the last file has played, the VP72 4K will automatically begin playing the first file and continue looping all loaded files endlessly.
Random: (38) This mode functions the same as “In Order” except all the
files loaded on the SD or USB will loop randomly.
Note: Both of these modes can be used with any combination of videos,
photos and/or audio files. If you desire to mix photos with videos and use
transitions, the transitions only work on photos. Also, make sure ONLY your
desired (37) files are loaded on the SD/ USB. The VP72 4K will play all
content, regardless if there are files in folders.
