Operating Instructions
OPERATING MODES
There are two operating modes in MPL024 – “playlist mode” and “simple play mode”
.
1. 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
DV Studio
software. Using this software, you
can set simple sequences or complex sequences including “jump track“ or “next track”
actions. DV Studio can also program buttons with different function like “play”, “stop”,
“pause”, “mute”, “previous”, “next” and “volume”.
2. 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 MPL024 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.jpg, where “5” means the track will be displayed for 5
seconds.)
Note: Do not use the same filename on both MPEG and JPEG.
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
All files (including project file and playlist file) must be placed under a folder named “Media”
on Compact Flash card. For example.
