1. FIND A SUITABLE LOCATION
If you don’t have an AV rack, pick an ideal location where
the Media Player can be installed – away from heat or wet
areas and close to your AV and network infrastructure.
2. CONNECT AUDIO
Plug the 3.5mm to 2RCA cables into the 3.5mm ports
( ) for each active zone. Connect the other end to your
venue's audio distribution.
3. CONNECT VIDEO
Plug the mini DisplayPort adaptor cable into the V1
port ( ). Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the
mini DisplayPort adaptor, and the other end to your
video distribution setup.
Utilise the HDMI to Video Scan Converter if required for
your venue AV distribution.

your network source into the blue client Network / WAN
port at the back of the Wi-Fi Router. With the second
Ethernet cable, connect the Router to the LAN port ( ).
Using Direct Connection: Plug the Ethernet cable from
your network source into the LAN port ( ).
Using Wi-Fi Connection: This method of connection

store. Open the app on your phone, sign in with your
