FAQ

 

What

 

video

 

format

 

can

 

I

 

play?

in

 

MPEG

4

 

AVC

 

up

 

to

 

1920x1080

 

resolutions

 

and

 

bitrates

 

should

 

play

 

perfectly.

 

If

 

a

 

certain

 

video

 

is

 

not

 

played

 

as

 

scheduled,

 

or

 

if

 

it

 

plays

 

poorly,

 

please

 

search

 

the

 

support

 

site

 

for

 

“transcode”

 

instructions.

 

The

 

signboard

 

is

 

placed

 

near

 

my

 

Wi

Fi

 

access

 

point,

 

yet

 

the

 

connection

 

is

 

unreliable.

 

Wi

Fi

 

appliances

 

in

 

general

 

should

 

be

 

placed

 

10

 

feet

 

(3

 

meters)

 

from

 

the

 

Wi

Fi

 

access

 

point

 

for

 

reliable

 

operation.

 

Try

 

relocating

 

the

 

access

 

point

 

further

 

away

 

from

 

the

 

signboards

 

to

 

improve

 

connection.

 

What

 

can

 

I

 

do

 

about

 

the

 

gap

 

between

 

video

 

and

 

video?

 

V

ideo

 

gaps

 

(blank

 

screen)

 

occur

 

before

 

and

 

after

 

each

 

video

 

are

 

played.

 

To

 

minimize

 

the

 

gap,

 

avoid

 

back

 

to

 

back

 

video

 

programming

 

by

 

scheduling

 

an

 

image

 

between

 

each

 

video.

 

If

 

both

 

Ethernet

 

&

 

WiFi

 

are

 

connected,

 

which

 

one

 

will

 

take

 

precedence?

 

If

 

both

 

connections

 

are

 

available,

 

WiFi

 

will

 

be

 

used.

 

What

 

is

 

the

 

maximum

 

file

 

size

 

for

 

a

 

single

 

video

 

file?

video

 

file

 

size

 

for

 

the

 

DNP50

We

 

recommend

 

reserving

 

a

 

safety

 

margin

 

to

 

avoid

 

exceeding

 

the

 

limit

 

(i.e.

 

limiting

 

files

 

to

 

1850MB).

 

What

 

should

 

I

 

do

 

if

 

I

 

forgot

 

my

 

password?

 

Please

 

perform

 

a

 

factory

 

reset.

  

Use

 

the

 

S/W

 

RESET

 

button

 

located

 

at

 

the

 

back

 

of

 

the

 

media

 

player

 

to

 

restore

 

factory

 

settings.

 

This

 

will

 

also

 

clear

 

the

password.

  

How

 

do

 

I

 

manage

 

the

 

playback

 

of
