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
DV Signage PopStyles 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:
PopStyle unit
AC power supply
SD card – see following note
3.2 SD card
The DV Signage PopStyle uses standard SD cards to store the media (video, still images) for
playback. The following are key points to note:
The format of the digital media stored on the SD card needs to meet certain
standards as per the specifications for this device as summarized in section 5.
Media files can be stored on the SD card in two ways:
oPlaylist mode: Using DV Signage’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 SD card.
All content files must be stored within a folder name MEDIA. (i.e. /Media/)
Additional notes regarding the playback modes are shown below.

3.3 Slide switch
You may only choose either one way (LAN or USB) to update content without
removing SD card
3.4 Powering On
Install the SD card, however to reduce the risk of errors it is advised to have the
power off when removing or installing a SD card.
Connect the provided external AC power supply unit.
Power on the unit, the power LED should come on.
See the following section for Power On options.
3.5 Autoplay at power startup
The DV Signage PopStyle supports AutoPlay 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
SD card) or in alpha-numeric order (if the media files were simply copied to the SD card).
3.6 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 SD 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
SD 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”.

Simple play mode, i.e. files copied to SD card without using DV Studio:
In simple play mode, the user just copies all video files (.mpg) or JPEG files (.jpg)
onto the SD card. The PopStyle 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 Video and JPEG.
Note: Make sure all capital letters in a filename defined in playlist are consistent with the
filename on SD 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/)
3.7 OSD Configuration mode
In OSD configuration mode, you may need external buttons to operate.
Use with external button.
To enter OSD configuration mode, holding button 8 and power on the PopStyle unit.

3.8 Network setup
Each PopStyle is shipped with DHCP settings (IP=0.0.0.0). In some network environment,
fixed IP could be used and you may need to change the PopStyle with the fixed IP settings.
All IP settings are set in a configuration file called “netcfg.ini”. To change the IP settings on
PopStyle, copy the netcfg.ini file with your setting on to MEDIA folder on SD card and restart
the PopStyle then you will see a boot up message with your IP information changed.
The following is an example of fixed IP settings in netcfg.ini file.
In addition to IP information, the NETCFG.INI file contains some system settings for
ViewStream 505 media player. Below is a table to show all user settings in the NETCFG.INI
