4 - Operating mode and naming of files
Compatible files:
.MP3: MP3 format audio files (see specification in annex C)
.WAV: WAV format audio files (see specifications in annex C)
.SC2: "Show control" sequence files created by the IDAL Show Control Editor software.
The file names and directories define the playback mode. The files must be stored according to a specific
organisation described below.
4.1 Organisation of the directories:
Only ONE directory level is allowed at the root. The
directory names are made of 3 digits (000 to 999) followed
by optional parameters and a name of your choice.
Example :
001
003 [J002]
034 directory name
247 [R001] [SEQ] my directory
●
●
●
●
●
The first three digits represent the directory
No. and thereby its main name.
Example :
000 : Directory N°000 - "Autoplay" directory which is automatically played when the device is powered-on
001 : Directory N° 001
034 : Directory N° 034
The directory number is used to define the playback sequence, it identifies the directory when a
directory jump is required and on triggering of an input. You can use any number between 000 & 999.
IMPORTANT:
The 8 input contacts allow trigger of directories identified by these 3 digits, as per a binary
sequence from 001 to 255 (See table in the annex).
Input 1 : Directory 001
Input 2 : Directory 002
Input 3 : Directory 004
Input 4 : Directory 008
Input 5 : Directory 016
Input 6 : Directory 032
Input 7 : Directory 064
Input 8 : Directory 128
The simultaneous use of several input contacts offers up to 255 different combinations. No. 001 to 255
corresponds to the 8 input contact combinations.
Special case:
Directory 000 is the directory which will be played by default on powering on. On
powering on, presence of this directory is checked ; if it is present, the player plays files of this directory.
If this directory is missing, the player switches to sleep mode.
Note: The directory which is read by default on powering on can be modified in the configuration menu.
