CAUTION: Never connect or disconnect parts of the system when the system is powered up
as this may cause serious damage.
3.1 Preparation
DV Signage 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 – see following note
3.2 Compact Flash
The DV Signage 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 14
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-100W-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 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 14
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 8+3 format (i.e. xxxxxxxx.xxx) 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

Datalog/OSD, etc.
