3 Instructions
CAUTION: Never connect or disconnect parts of the system when the system is
powered up as this may cause serious damage.
3.1 Preparation
Digital View VideoFlyers are designed to be as plug and play as possible requiring
the minimum of setup for use. The following describes the operation of the
standard version, there are however a number of options available and these may
affect the preparation required.
Main components:
•VideoFlyer unit
•AC power supply
•Compact Flash card
•DV Studio 2*
*Note: DV Studio is a free utility from Digital View that allows you to organize your digital
media into playlists and schedule including interactive functionality. This software can be
downloaded from http://www.digitalview.com/products/av-software
3.2 Compact Flash
The Digital View VideoFlyer uses standard Compact Flash cards to store the
media (video, still images, audio) for playback. The following are key points to
note:
•The format of the digital media stored on the Compact Flash needs to
meet certain standards as per the specifications for this device as
summarized in section 6.
•Media files can be stored on the Compact Flash in two ways:
oPlaylist mode: Using Digital View’s DV Studio software which
enables creation of a playlist with a number of options for
controlling media playback.
oSimple play mode: Using a PC copy function to transfer files onto
the Compact Flash.
•All content files must be stored within a folder name MEDIA. (i.e. /Media/)
Additional notes regarding the playback modes are shown below.

Page 7 of 15
3.3 Powering On
•Install the Compact Flash card, however to reduce the risk of errors it is
advised to have the power off when removing or installing a Compact
Flash card.
•Connect the provided external AC power supply unit.
•Power on the unit using the on/off switch, the power LED should come on.
(Note: In Openframe version (VF-215WHD-OF), the power is default to “Auto on”.)
See the following section for Power On options.
3.4 Autoplay / Manual Playback at power startup
The Digital View VideoFlyer supports AutoPlay or manual playback modes at
power startup
AutoPlay: This is the default mode for the unit. This means that upon power-on
video will start playing in accordance with a playlist (if DV Studio was used to
transfer the media files to the Compact Flash card) or in alpha-numeric order (if
the media files were simply copied to the Compact Flash card).
Manual Playback: Only available as a setting in DV Studio. In Manual Playback
mode, after power up press any button and the first track in the Playlist set in DV
Studio will play.
3.5 Playback modes
Playlist mode, i.e. using DV Studio:
•When operating in playlist mode, both project file (*.prj) and playlist file
(*.pll) must be present on the Compact Flash card. These are used to
control the sequence for all video tracks. If playback does not run as
expected please check that these files are present on the Compact Flash
card.
•The project and playlist file are created using DV Studio software. Using
this software, you can set simple sequences or complex sequences
including “jump track“ or “next track” actions. The software can also
program buttons with different functions like “play”, “stop”, “pause”,
“mute”, “previous”, “next” and “volume”.

Page 8 of 15
Simple play mode, i.e. files copied to Compact Flash without using DV Studio:
•In simple play mode, the user just copies all video files (.mpg) or JPEG
files (.jpg) onto the Compact Flash card. The VideoFlyer will play these
files in alphabetical sequence.
•For JPEG files, the play time is determined by the last digit of the filename.
(For example: APPLE5.mpg, where “5” means the track will be displayed
for 5 seconds.) Note: Do not use the same filename on both MPEG and
JPEG.
Note: Make sure all capital letters in a filename defined in playlist are consistent
with the filename on CompactFlash card. All filenames should be in 16+3 format
and avoid using any characters like “~”, “_”, “-“, etc. All content files must be
stored within a folder name MEDIA. (i.e. /Media/)
3.6 Configuration mode
In OSD configuration mode, you may use push buttons (L1, L2 and L3) or 8-
segmented touch screen to operate.
To enter OSD configuration mode, hold touch segment #8 (or L1) and power on
until the OSD menu screen is shown as follows:
