The modulator allows you to store and play back. TS files.
The. TS files must be stored on a USB 3.0 memory stick with FAT32 file system.
On the website you can find the software “EK Converter”. It converts the most common video and image formats to .TS format. Link: https://ek.plus/en/sw/ek-converter-en
Use MD HD Soft software to schedule playback/recording time slots.
When you insert the USB memory stick, the “Autoplay001.ts” file will be played automatically and continuously (unless previously modified by means of MD HD Soft) hosted on the USB memory.
If there are other files “Autoplay001.ts”, “Autoplay002.ts”… shall be reproduced consecutively.
