There are two ways of xing the video frame to a wall.
1) Using a screen bracket (provided) - this is an easier option although there will
be a gap between the unit and the wall. If you would like the unit to sit ush
with the wall you will need to follow the instructions below for option 2.
2) Use incorporated mounting holes, to x the Video Frame 12 you will need to
take the unit apart and x through the 4 holes in the rear of unit.
1. Ensure that the power is disconnected.
2. Place the unit at, (screen face down) using some bubble wrap to avoid
scratching.

the top and bottom.)

Creating Artwork
Once you have decided on the content and how you want to lay out the buttons
you will need to produce the artwork for the frame.
You can download a template from the Video Frame 12 page on our webstie.
http://blackboxav.co.uk/product-downloads/vf12/VF12-template.pdf
If you need help creating the artwork we are able to do this for a small fee - ask
our sales sta for further details.
We recommend printing on 120GSM paper and laminating in 150MIC. Punch 4
holes to allow screws to secure the artwork in place.
Installing Artwork
To t new artwork you must undo the 4 screws and remove the frame. Punch
holes in the artwork to allow the screws to pass through and secure in place
between the frame and metalwork. Then reattach the frame.

PUTTING CONTENT ONTO THE PLAYER
Once you have edited and converted your video or images into the correct
format you will need to put them onto a SDHC card.
1. Use included SDHC card as a template (it comes with each folder already
set up) If you are not using a button you must delete the folder. To use other
SDHC cards make sure they are formated to FAT32 rst, then create the
appropriate folders.
2. Each folder represents a button, except‘00’.
00 - Looping folder (plays automatically on startup)
01 - Button 1
02 - Button 2
etc.
3. Put your converted video or images within each folder, name them 00, 01,
02 etc. for the order you want them to play when the button is pressed. (for
single les in each folder they can be named anything)
Example looping folder (button folders are the same)
Within the above conguration the player will play: video 00.mpg, image 001,
image 002 and then loop back video 00 until somebody presses a button.
Note: The looping folder is designed to be used for creating an attractor
screen (image/video).
When a button is pressed, every le in that folder will be played, then the
VF12 will return to the looping folder.
