installation instructions to load the software. The help tab in Quick Sign Pro will show you how to use the
software to get started controlling your players.

in the Player Control window. This allows you to send your videos, pictures, layouts, etc. to a SD
card plugged into your computer. The proper folders will be created on the SD card. Remove the

begin to play automatically.
