2. Overview
Applications
The FCO130 MediaPlayer FiveCo is a media player controlled by an I2C
bus. It can output a video signal by an LVDS (up to 2 channels 24bit color
depth) or by an HDMI.
It can read video from an usb data storage or an uSD card.
The device connections and dimensions are described on the following
pages.

3. Quick start
This section is intended to help users quickly plug the device into their
system and play a video on an HDMI device. Detailed information about
hardware and software is provided further in this document.
Plug and Play
Figure 2 : Std connection for the FCO 130 media player
1. Connect the HDMI cable between the screen and the media player.
2. Connect the I2C cable between the mediaPlayer and the master I2C
(The default address is 0x40 or 64). If you want to use the media
player in a standalone mode you can skip this step.
3. Plus an USB storage device or a microSD with the video to play and
the configuration file.
4. Connect the DC power (12V) and wait 25 second.
5. Send I2C Command to play a video or wait a moment and the
media player start in a standalone mode.

4. Hardware
Power supply
A power supply with an output of 12V and minimum 20W must power the
mediaplayer. If you want to connect a screen with a LVDS connection you
must add the maximum consumption of the screen with a 1.25 factor
included the screen backlight to calculate the minimum power of the power
supply.
For example :
Screen maximum logic power : 5.5Watt
Screen backlight maximum power : 25.1 Watt
Power of power supply : P ≥20+(5.5+25.1)*1.25 = 58.25Watt
I2C Address
There are two ways to configure the I2C address of the mediaplayer. This
can be done by using the matrix switch SW7. In this case you must
comment the I2C_ADDRESS line in the configuration file. You can find
below how to configure an address with the switch matrix.

Screen type
The media player can transmit video signal through a HDMI bus or an LVDS
bus up to two channels and 24 bit color depth. It can also power a screen
backlight and control it by sending control signals (enable, pwm) or directly
control the current to power the backlight.
To configure which video and audio output you want to use, please see the
chapter 0 “If the wanted current for the screen is not in this list, you must
choose the switch configuration with the current just higher of the wanted
current and set a PWM in configuration file to adjust the current. For
example if you must have a current of 300mA, you select the configuration
with a current of 342mA and set the PWM at 223/255 (300/342 *255 =
223).
Bootscript
LVDS Screen must have a special bootscript to configure correctly LVDS
signals.
The bootscript is a binary file place at the root of the uSD which contains
OS files.
Actually we have bootscript for following screens:
-AUO G150XG02
-AUO G190EG02V1
-AUO G173HW01
-Samsung LTN101AL03
-JXEDP02_V0.91 (lvds to edp converter)
Configuration file”.
HDMI Screen
HDMI Screen must be connected to the media player with an HDMI cable
on the connector J8. The screen must have its own power supply.
Figure 4 : Output Face of the FCO 130 media player
If you want to play a video with audio track you can transmit audio signal
through HDMI bus or through the mini jack J9 (for HeadPhone) which
transmit stereo analog signal.
If you use the mini jack connector for playing audio, be careful, you must
use a device with a minimum of 16Ohm impedance.

This bus can display a video resolution up to 1920x1080px30fps.
LVDS Screen
LVDS screen must be connected to the media player with a custom cable.
There is no standard cable for LVDS, each screen must have its specific
cable.
With this media player you can connect LVDS screen which have one or
two LVDS channel and a color depth of 18bit or 24bit.
It can also power a screen backlight and control it by sending control signals
(enable, pwm) or directly control the current to power the backlight.
This bus can display a video resolution up to 1920x1080px60fps.
LVDS Connector
If the screen has only one channel LVDS, you must use the LVDS1
connector (J7). The pinning of this connector was described below:

The five differentials pairs must be twisted on the cable.
If the screen has only an 18bits color depth, the pair TX3 must not be
connected.
You can also select the voltage of VCC (pin 1, 2, 3) to power the screen
electronic with the Jumper JP1 shown below.
Figure 6 : Screen voltage selection
If the screen has its own electronic for backlight, you can power at 12V
with the pin 23, 24(12V) and 19, 20(GND). You can also control it with
the pin 21 (backlight enable) and 22 (Pulse With Modulation, 100% = max
luminance, 0%=no luminance).
Two channels LVDS
If the screen has two LVDS channels, you must use connectors J7 (LVDS1)
and connector J6 (LVDS2). The connector J7 has the same pin assignment
as itself when there is only one channel, but the differentials pairs are only
for odd pixels.
The pins assignments for J6 (LVDS2) are described below:

5. Configuration file
General
The configuration file is a text file place at the root of the uSD or the USB
storage device which contains video to play.
This file allows some configuration for the media player.
If a line starts with ‘#’, the line was not taking into account by the media
player. To take this line into account you must remove the ‘#’.
I2C_ADDRESS
#I2C_ADDRESS 64 # i2c-address (decimal only)
# WARNING! If I2C_ADDRESS is defined, the
jumper will be ignored
If you want to set an address I2C with this configuration file, you can
remove the first ‘#’ and write the new address. The address must be
written in decimal and must be between 8 and 118.
AUTO_MODE_PAUSE_MS
AUTO_MODE_PAUSE_MS 1000 # automatic reading config (standalone)
# = 0 : disabled
# > 0 : pause between 2 videos in ms,
forward reading
# < 0 : pause between 2 videos in ms,
backward reading
This configuration is used in standalone mode, you can disable standalone
mode by setting 0 or select the time in millisecond between the end of a
video and the start of the next video.
If you want to play video 0, then video 1, then video 2 … set a positive
value. If you want to play video 10 then, then video 9, then video 8 … set a
negative value.
AUTO_MODE_INITIAL_WAIT_MS
AUTO_MODE_INITIAL_WAIT_MS 10000 # initial wait before mediaplayer starts
to auto-play
This configuration is used to define the time in millisecond before media
players starts to auto-play (standalone mode).
LVDS_BRIGHTNESS
LVDS_BRIGHTNESS 255 # Brightness [0-255], 255 = max

17 / 28
FMod-IPECMOT 48/10 User Manual v2.5
This configuration is used to define the brightness of the screen. It works
only for LVDS screen.
0 is not backlight, and 255 is the maximum luminosity.
Be careful if you use a LVDS screen with current control on the
mediaplayer, you may not pass the maximum admissible current of the
screen.
VIDEO_DEVICE
VIDEO_DEVICE 1 # Video device selection (0 = disabled, 1 = primary, 2 = secondary)
# (1 and 2 may be HDMI or LVDS (usually 1 is HDMI))
This configuration is used to select the output to display video.
0 disable video output.
1 Select the primary output (This output give the best performance)
2 Select the secondary output
1 and 2 may be HDMI or LVDS it depend on the bootscript. If you have
the standard bootscript the primary output is HDMI.
AUDIO_DEVICE
AUDIO_DEVICE 1 # Audio device selection (0 = disabled, 1 = HDMI, 2 = jack)
This configuration is used to select the output to play audio.
0 disable audio output.
1 Select the HDMI bus to transmit audio signal.
2 Select the jack connector to transmit audio signal
Be careful do not select the HDMI output for audio if you have nothing
connected on the hdmi connector. A video with an audio track can block
the media player.

6. Video Type
All videos to displays must be either on the micro SD on J5 or on an USB
storage device on J4 at the root of the device if a specific media repository
was not define in the configuration file.
Naming video
Each video must have a unique number, the name of the video must be
like one of the following examples:
-FILExx_nameOfTheVideo.mp4
-filexx_nameOfTheVideo.mp4
-Filexx_nameOfTheVideo.mp4
‘xx’ must be a number between 0 and 1023, some zeros can be added
before the number (like 002 or 02 or 023). This number matches to the
number of the video, if you want to play this video, send this number with
the I2C command.
Video Format
Bla bla
Size and speed
The video cannot have a memory size bigger than TODO MB. The
resolution cannot be bigger than Full HD (1920x1080p) and the speed of
the video must not be higher of 30 fps for Full HD and 60 fps for HD
ready (1280x720p).
