upon startup.
BUTTON ACTIVATION & PIR

achieved by placing les in the appropriate folders (01 - 16) on the supplied SD-HC
card.
See programming section for more information.
9.PROGRAMMING CONTENT
The VideoClip HD16 is a High Denition content player, video and images should be
in HD with a resolution of 1920x1080.
It has been designed to make programming easy whilst oering exibility in

1) SDHC card or USB stick (formated to FAT32)
2) Content in a supported le format (see 2. SUPPORTED MEDIA FORMATS)
3) A PC or laptop with Windows OS
LOOPING
The VC-HD16 plays content stored in the root of the storage device on a constant
loop as standard. Content is played in name order i.e 01 -> 02 -> 03.
The VC-HD16 can loop video, images or audio if there is a mixture of content it will
play video -> image -> audio in that order, no matter the lename.
(This means that video les titled 04, 05, 06 will play before image les titled 01, 02,
03)
LOOPING EXAMPLE 1: LOOPING VIDEO
With this conguration the player will loop constantly through all videos in the
following order: 1 Welcome Video -> 2 Battle of the Somme -> 3 Evolution of the
Tank -> 1 Welcome Video.... and so on.
LOOPING EXAMPLE 2: LOOPING VIDEO & IMAGES
Page 5

Page 6

Evolution of the Tank -> 01 -> 02 -> 03 -> 04 -> 1 Welcome Video... and so on.
LOOPING EXAMPLE 3: IMAGES WITH AUDIO
With this conguration the player will loop constantly through all images, it will also
play the audio le located in the folder‘audio’ as background music. The audio will
restart with the slideshow (i.e after the nal slide is shown and the slideshow begins
again).
For more slideshow options view ‘7.ADDITIONAL SLIDESHOW AND VIDEO OPTIONS’
BUTTON ACTIVATION
The VC-HD16 can play content upon activation of up to 16 buttons. It is programmed
to play all content contained within the associated folder (01 - 16) when the button is
pressed. It will play through this content in an uninterruptible manner (pressing a
button again will not activate content) unless you change the‘Autoplay.txt’ le to
remove the [n] after the designated button (see following section for more
information).
Volume + and - are set to inputs 17 and 18. The VCHD 16 is supplied with a SDHC card
already set up with the appropriate le order;
AUTOPLAY
FILE ORDER
Simply put the content you wish to be activated
via each button into the corresponding folder.
More than one media le can be placed in each
folder, however when that button is activated
the player will need to play through all les
completely before returning to the looping
attracter screen.
In this example a number of images have been
used as the attracter screen.
Note: You only require folders if they contain
content to be activated (see following button
examples for more information)
The Autoplay.txt programs the
buttons - it will appear like so.
If you delete this le or use a new
SDHC card be sure to recreate it
exactly as shown.
The [n] after each button number
enforces a non-interuptible rule
for each button. If you wish to
have content which can be
interupted when a dierent
button is pressed then remove
this [n] from the associated
button.

BUTTON EXAMPLE 2: 4 BUTTON - 2 FOLDERS + NEXT/PREV CONTROL
As mentioned you will not require all 16 folders if you only intend to utilise some
of the buttons.
The example above utilises only button 01 and 02 to activate 6 video les in
succession each, with a single image utilised as an attracter screen.
PIR ACTIVATION
The VC-HD16 can be programmed to play
content upon PIR activation.
A single PIR can be connected via the 12v
supply and button 01 terminal (see image
right). This means upon PIR activation all
content within folder 01 will be displayed. for additional help please contact us:
www.blackboxav.co.uk/support
Tel: [phone]
Email: [e-mail]
The above content will loop through 3 images‘01’,‘02’ and ‘03’until the PIR is activated
it will then play the video located in folder‘01’ before returning to the looping slide-
show awaiting another PIR activation.
NOTE: Compatible PIR’s should be ordered via blackbox-av, they will come with the
appropriate voltage designated and teriminals connected.

.
A looping display can be utilised in PIR mode just as in the previous modes, this
means the VC-HD can display video or images in a looping fashion until the PIR
activates folder 01 and the content found within.
Note the autoplay.txt le must be set to non-interruptible playback for button 01
(01[n]=01/).
