4.4 Operating Instructions
There are two operating modes in ProPLAY– “playlist mode” and “simple play mode”
.
• Playlist mode
When operating in playlist mode, both project file (*.prj) and playlist file (*.pll)
must be present on the Compact Flash card. These are used to control the
sequence for all video tracks.
The project and playlist file are created using ProPLAY Studio software. Using
this software, you can set simple sequences or complex sequences including
“jump track“ or “next track” actions. ProPLAY Studio can also program buttons
with different function like “play”, “stop”, “pause”, “mute”, “previous”, “next” and
“volume” as well as RS-232 commands to play tracks.
Note: Make sure all capital letters in filename defined in playlist are consistence
with the filename on CompactFlash card. All filename should be in 8+3 format
(i.e. xxxxxxxx.xxx) and avoid using any illegal characters like “~”, “_”, “-“, etc
• Simple play mode
In simple play mode, the user just copies all video files (.mpg) or JPEG files
(.jpg) onto the Compact Flash card. The ProPLAY will play these files in
alphabetical sequence.
For MPEG still pictures or JPEG files, the play time can be set by the last digit
of the filename. (For example: APPLE5.mpg, where “5” means the track will be
displayed for 5 seconds.)
Note: Do not use the same filename on both MPEG and JPEG.
• Schedule play mode
The ProPLAY is able to play back playlists, controlled by date and time settings.
A schedule.ini named file has to be written in the below shown format and
copied onto the CF card. To create the corresponding playlist files, ProPLAY
Studio is required.
