Congratulations on your purchase of the D323HD !
This ‘state of the art’ product, is a dual HD encoder. Two HDMI sources (A and B)
can be encoded and modulated simultaneously into one DVBT channel.
Furthermore an USB port is available which allows you to play a .ts file instead of us-
ing input A. The .ts file and input B are then available on the same DVBT channel.
Sequential files (eg. file001, file002, file003 etc.) make it possible to play several
files after each other in a loop.
The record function allows you to record your source connected to input A in a .ts file
on a USB stick or drive.
Using TMHDIface to operate the DM323HD a wide scala of digital signage functions
becomes available. Using a battery powered time and date function, different files can
be played according to a schedual you can define by hour, day and week etc.
At the same time, different recordings can be programmed using TMHDIface.

In order to operate the USB menu, please connect at first an USB Stick 3.0 and then power up the
DM323HD.
With the USB stick connected you can play files. Please note that only files with the extension .ts can
be played through this device. If you play a file, the source connected to input A will be interrupted and
in the output you will find your .ts file.
As mentioned in the introduction, if you select a file this will played continuously. At the end of the file,
the DM323HD will play again the same file.
If you want to play a selection of files, then name your files sequentially. For instance, file001,
file002, file 003. (all with .ts extension). Then, if you select a file from this list, the file will start to
play. At the end the TM2HD will look for the same file name with a higher number (for instance if you
start with file002, it will look at the end of this file for file003 etc. and play the following file). When no
higher number is found it will start again with file001..
