FLASH CARD INFORMATION
BMS2 uses TWO standard SD-HC Flash Cards to store your MP3 based
Music and Messages. They must be formatted as FAT32. This is
automatically done when you use the ‘Condition Flash Card’ facility provided
with our BMS Dealer Control program
Our unique SD card loading design allows your complete Music or complete
Message programming (contained on the Flash cards) to be changed in
seconds. You do not even need to power the device down before doing this.
MESSAGE Flash Card
- Each unit
is currently supplied with a 4GB SD-HC
card for Messages. You should store all of the encrypted MP3 BASED
MESSAGE FILES and HIGH ROTATION FILES on this card.
MUSIC Flash Card
- Each unit
is currently supplied with a 4GB SD-HC
card. You can load up to 4000 minutes (33 hours) of encrypted Music at CD
quality (Mono 128kbps) onto this card.
Our BMS Dealer Control program will write a small file known as a set.tbl
file to the MUSIC Flash Card which will instruct BMS2 how frequently to
play a MESSAGE and High Rotation Files (if required).
Alternatively, you can load up from 8000 to 32000 minutes (533 hours) of
Audio by using an optionally available 8,16 or to 32GB SD Flash Card. You
can also increase play time by using a lower sampling rate for your files.
These flash cards are completely non volatile, which means that your
message is not lost in transport or when power is lost. They are designed
to be over written many times without any deterioration in quality.
The supplied Flash cards are PRE-FORMATTED.
When reusing your Flash cards, it is important that you CONDITION
each Flash card before loading replacement Music folders onto the
card. This is necessary to ERASE the file directory of the Flash Card,
as Windows does not do this and will not over write directory
information when it is full.
The BMS Dealer Control Card provides a CONDITIONING SD CARD
option,
selected from the main menu.
