If the file is 80 seconds long, add this text line inside the autoplay.txt of the master unit only:
synctime=800. Please note time is in 0.1 seconds increment.
3.7 Remote Management through Network (LAN):
You have a number of FP-PRO HD+ that you want to remotely manage the memory content.
These FP-PRO HD+ are connected into the LAN through the LAN port and into a wireless
HUB that is connected into your LAPTOP.
From your LAPTOP wirelessly through the network you want to copy new files, delete some
old files and change the operation of the FP-PRO HD+.
What to do:
1. For this application you need to use hard drive.
2. Remove the 6 small screws from the front panel and slide out the PCB.
3. Install the SATA 2.5” Hard Drive into the socket. Hard drive is any LAPTOP SATA (or
SATA2) hard drive, 5400 rpm or 7200 rpm.
4. Install rubber pad between the HD and the PCB to avoid contact. Close back the front
panel.
5. After powering up, the FP-PRO HD+ will automatically go to FORMAT Screen. Answer
YES to format. Midway formatting a window will appear asking to transfer BT/SAMBA.

Answer YES to BT/SAMBA. This will transfer the BT, SAMBA and UNIX driver into the
hard drive.
6. After finish formatting, power down and up again. The FP-PRO HD+ will now appear on
LAN.
7. Copy the video clips and autoplay into the FP-PRO HD+.
8. To play the new files and new autoplay you need to reboot the FP-PRO HD+.
9. To reboot the FP-PRO HD+ remotely, create reboot.txt using Notepad. Content of
reboot.txt is empty because the FP-PRO HD+ is only using the name (reboot.txt), not the
content.
10. Copy reboot.txt into the FP-PRO HD+ through the network. The FP-PRO HD+ will
automatically reboot and starts using the new video files and the new autoplay.txt.

4. Standard- or Fast Mode
4.1 Choose Mode
If the autoplay.txt has the following statement:
fastmode=yes (lower case letters only), then FP-PRO HD+ will enter Fast Mode. If the
autoplay.txt DOES NOT have fastmode statement, then FP-PRO HD+ is in standard mode.
4.2 When to use Fast Mode or Standard mode
•If you need instant playback when a input (push button) is triggered, choose Fast
Mode.
•In this Fast Mode you are limited to maximum 32 inputs (files) and you have to
combine these 32 files into a single file.
•If you are playing many files (different format) using push button OR need to use
Timer and/or IR mode, choose the standard mode. In this mode, there is a 2-3 seconds
delay between input trigger.
4.3 Fast Mode
In this mode, FP-PRO HD+ will play a video segment instantly when an input is triggered.
The FP-PRO HD+ will only play only a single file in the root, it will not play multiple files.
After powering up, FP-PRO HD+ will SEAMLESSLY loop line 00 (see line 00 explanation
below).
If you have a number of files that you want to play using the input, use your video editing
software to combine these files together to create a new single file. This single file is basically
a compilation of many files (video segments) where each video segment is represented by
playtime in seconds. You can then assign different input to play these different video
segments.
Example:
Suppose you have 4 different files, 1 loop file: loop.mov and 3 files to play using input:
Lion.mov, Dog.mov and Tiger.mov.
Suppose Loop.mov is 100 second long, Lion.mov is 60 seconds, Dog.mov is 80 secs and
Tiger.mov is 220 secs.
Use your video software editing program to combine these 4 files and create a single file e.g.
Test.mov. Inside this test.mov, you actually have 4 video segments: loop, lion, dog and
tiger.mov. Total playtime of this test.mov is 100+60+80+220= 460 seconds long.
