To Load Videos
It’s really simple to load your videos onto the video card.It works in the same way as adding or deleting content from a USB drive.
Single video
1. Connect to your computer using mini USB to USB cable.
2. From ‘my computer’ select the external drive and open to view contents.
3. Current content can be deleted.
4. Select the relevant file you want to add and simply drag and drop the video onto the card,disconnect and it will be ready to go.
Video Volume
If supplying multiple videos, please ensure that volume level is consistent across all files.
Multiple videos
When uploading multiple videos, we recommend that you use the same file type for all of your video files.
1. Connect to your computer using a mini USB to USB cable.
2. From ‘my computer’ select the external drive and open to view contents.
3. Current content can be deleted.
4. When adding multiple video content it is important that the files are named in the correct way to play in the correct order, by following the recommended naming convention.
5. Select all of the relevant files you want to add and simply drag and drop the video files onto card, disconnect and it will be ready to go.
Battery Charging
1. Connect the video card to your computer using a mini USB to USB.
2. A battery icon will appear in the top right corner of the screen.
3. When this icon shows a full image, the battery is fully charged.
Naming Convention
Up to 6 videos can be uploaded to the video card,depending on the options selected. The card will play the videos in either numeric order, lowest first or alpha order ‘a’ first. Our recommendation is to name the videos with a prefix of 00, 01, 02, 03 etc ensuring that these relate to the numbered buttons on the video card.If the auto-run option has been selected in order for the correct video to play when opened, this video needs to be loaded twice and prefixed 00 and 01. This will then start upon opening but will also be video 1 when the button is pressed.
For Example:
Auto-run video – 00
Video 1 - 01
Video 2 - 02
Video 3 - 03
Video 4 - 04
Video 5 - 05
Video 6 - 06
