7 - Ethernet link
Via the Ethernet link, the VP100HDi communicates to update
content via FTP.
You can use the player in a local network. An adequately
configured Modem/Router will allow access of the player via the
Internet.
Caution! Network administration requires good computer skills.
In a local network installation, the player requires an IP address. This address is set in the Option menu
(see option menu chapter). The player is then recognised on the network as a FTP server with a FTP
software such as Filezilla.
In an installation where only the player is present or in a local network with external access, you must use
a Modem/Router to create a gateway between the player and the Internet.
Since the Modem/Router is configured with an IP gateway, you must declare this gateway to the VP100
so that it can communicate (configured in the Option menu).
7.1 - Connection of VP100HDi to the Internet through an ADSL link, without
local network nor computer
Hardware required:
VP100HDi + ADSL Modem / Router
Connect your player to yourADSL Modem/Router
with a RJ45 cable and connect your Modem to a
telephone jack with ADSL filter.
A - You have an IP address provided by your
service provider
Configure your Modem/Router entering the player IP address, access data to provider (account, password
…), Gateway used and the various configurations related to your Modem.Also set the IP and Gateway of
your player.
Open the FTP communication ports (21) and the HTTP ports (80) in the Modem.
On a computer connected to the Internet and a browser, type the IP address of your connection.
The window of your player should be displayed.
B - You don't have a permanent IP address
This is a solution to make your player visible over the internet without using a permanent IP address.
We suggest you to use a service provider offering"DynDNS" service. It's a dynamicDNSservicemodifiable
with every change in the IP of your service provider. For example, you can use the free service on
www.dyndns.org.
At first, you must open an account with a service provider and obtain your Host name, User name and
password. Caution! Your Modem / Router must have this feature.
Configure your Router Modem accordingly and validate the DynDNS option.
Ethernet link
- 12 -

I.D. AL - VP100HDi - Interactive Full HD 1080p video player - User manual
® Waves System V 1.03 - 2012
The principle is as follows:
When the IP address changes, the Modem sends this information to the DynDNS server. The service
immediately carries out the modification in its database to point out the new address on the host name.
Therefore, the player remains visible over the Internet even in case of change in the IP address of the
service provider or in case of a cut-off.
7.2 - Linking a player to an internal network
Hardware required:
- EventPlayer
- Ethernet Hub
- One or several computers can be present
Connect the player to the network hub. The player is
comparable to a computer. It has its own IP address and
will be seen over the network like a machine. It will be
able to communicate with various network stations. If the
network itself is connected to the outside, then the player
will be seen from external machines.

® Waves System V 1.03 - 2012
8 - Operating mode and naming of files.
Folder names define the playing mode.
8.1 Organisation of the folders:
Only one folder level is allowed at the root. The folder names are made of 3 digits (000 to 999) followed by
optional parameters and a name of your choice.
Example :
001
003 [J002]
034 folder name
247 [SEQ] my folder
●●
●●
●The first three digits represent the folder No. and thereby its main name.
Example :
000 : Folder N°000 - Folder «Autoplay» Play when switch on.
001 : Folder N° 001
034 : Folder N° 034
The folder number is used to define the playback sequence, it identifies the folder when a folder jump is
required and on triggering of an input. You can use any number between 000 & 255.
IMPORTANT: The 8 input contacts allow trigger of folders identified by these 3 digits, as per a binary
sequence from 001 to 255 (See table in the annex).
Input 1 : Folder 001
Input 2 : Folder 002
Input 3 : Folder 004
Input 4 : Folder 008
Input 5 : Folder 016
Input 6 : Folder 032
Input 7 : Folder 064
Input 8 : Folder 128
The simultaneous use of several input contacts offers up to 255 different combinations. No. 001 to 255
corresponds to the 8 input contact combinations.
Special case: AUTOPLAY MODE
Folder 000 is the folder which will be played by default on powering on (autoplay). On powering on,
presence of this folder is checked ; if it is present, the player plays files of this folder. If this folder is
missing, the player switches to wait mode.
To loop the Autoplay folder, create this folder: 000[J000]
Copy in this folder all the files you want to play in loop when switch on.

Optional parameters
Tomodify thebehaviourof theplayer,youcan addoptionalparametersto thefoldername. Theseparameters
are boxed with the "[" "]"symbols. You can add several parameters to the folder name.
[Jxxx] - Jump to another folder after reading the current folder.
[RND] or [SEQ] - Specifies random or sequential playback mode for the current folder.
[Rxyzt] - Action output contacts.
[NT] or [DT] - This option defines the interruption mode of the current folder
Note: If no optional parameter has been indicated, the player reads randomly the current folder in
full and stops.
●●
●●
●[Jxxx] - Names the folder No. to JUMP to after reading the current folder.
By adding this parameter to the folder name after the folder No., you define the behaviour of the player
after reading the current folder so that it starts reading another folder or loop in this folder.
Example:
xxx [J002]: Jump to folder 002 after reading folder xxx
001 [J023]: Jump to folder 023 after reading folder 001
034 [J034]: Jump to folder 034 after reading 034 -> Loops in folder 034
xxx represents a folder number between 000 & 255
●●
●●
●[SEQ] or [RND] - Specifies the playback mode for the current folder. Default is sequential mode.
Example:
001 [SEQ]: SEQ for sequential numerical order
001 [RND]: RND for random playback
By choosing [SEQ] you select sequential mode. Sorting is done in numerical order of file names (for
naming details, see next chapter related to files organisation).
In the Sequential mode [SEQ], files which are not numbered are ignored.
Directories which do not comply to naming rules are ignored.
By choosing [RND] you select random mode.
The default mode is the sequential mode SEQ. The files are not read again as long as all the files have
not been read at least once. This information is not stored during a directory jump.
●●
●●
●[Rxyzt] - Enables or disables one or several output contacts
A folder can activate different output contacts without any additional programming. You can switch on
lamps, activate motors or any other action automatically when a folder is read.
Caution! Status of the outputs does not change whilsth the file is read.
x,y,z,t = 0 - Output is desactivated
x,y,z,t = 1 - Output is activated during the time to play the folder then become desactivated at the end of
the folder.
x,y,z,t = 2 - The output contacts are commutated at the beginning of the folder playback and stay activated

while a new change is not executed.
Example:
001 [R1000] - Enables output 1 while reading folder 001
001 [R1111] - Enables all 4 outputs while reading folder 001
001 [R0000] - Disables all outputs while reading folder 001
001 [R2222] - Enables all 4 outputs permanently
001 [R2001] - Enable output 4 during folder 001, enables output 1 permanently, disables output 2 and 3
The output contacts are commutated at the beginning of the folder playback.
●●
●●
●[NT] or [DT] - This option defines the interruption mode of the current folder
If these options are registered in the folder name, the file cannot be interrupted and commands received
are ignored or executed at the end of the file.
Without this option, reading of the current file can be interrupted at any time by an external action.
(input, RS232 ...)
Example:
001 [NT] - The folder is NOT interruptible.
In that case, an action on one of the input contacts or RS232 link is ignored and the reading of the current
file is not stopped. Caution! The action is not memorised and the triggering information is lost.
001 [DT] - Interruption instruction is memorised and will be executed at the end of the file.
In that case, an action on one of the input contacts or RS232 link is memorised and the reading of the
current file is not stopped. Caution! If several actions occur while reading the file, history of actions is not
memorised and triggering information is lost. Only the last action is memorised and executed.
●●
●●
●Specific behaviour :
- If an action refers to a folder which is absent, the command is ignored.
- If an empty folder (no file) is called but the folder name includes an option, this option will be executed.
If no option is indicated, the player goes to stop mode.

8.2 Organisation of files inside folders.
Like for folders, file names define their playback pattern.
Note: You may not have to use this notation if the files are read randomly ("RND" option or no
option in the folder name). In this case, all the files shall be read in random.
The file names are made up of 3 digits (000 to 255) and a name of your choice.
Example:
001 my video.mpg
063 nom du fichier.mp4
Note: In sequential mode (SEQ), if numbered and non-numbered files are present, only the numbered
files will be read. In random mode, all the files be read.
●●
●●
●The first three digits represent the file number file and thus its primary name from 000 to 255
Example:
001.mp4 - file No.001
063.mp3 - file No.063
158.mpg - file No.158
If the folder indicates random mode [RND], the files don't have to be numbered and playback will be in
random mode. If the folder indicates definite sequence [SEQ], the non-numbered files are ignored.

9 - RS232 serial link protocol
The VP100HDi can communicate with other devices. It receives commands on the Rx input and sends
data through the Tx output. The player complies with the RS232 norm (19200 bauds - 8 bits / 1 start bit
/ 1 stop bit / no parity).
9.1 - Reception Protocole
VP100HDi can receive commands to start reading a file or change volume. If the same link is used to
control several players, each player will only execute commands addressed to its own number.
The reception protocole is made of a 3 bytes frame.
Byte 1 (status) + Byte 2 (command) + Byte 3 (data)
Note :
- One byte is 8 bits : b7 b6 b5 b4 b3 b2 b1 b0
- A binary symbol for 8 bits is : xxxxxxxxb
- A Hexadecimal symbol is : xxh
Byte 1 : Status - 1xxxxxxxb
> b7 = 1: refer to a status byte
> b6 - b0: player identification to be addressed to from 001 to 127 (000001b - 1111111b)
- The default player address (ID) is 001. You can change it. (see next command)
- Several players may have the same identification number to create groups.
- Identification 000 is the "global" code, all players are concerned by the command
Byte 2 (Command) + Byte 3 (Data) - 0xxxxxxxb
- Byte 2: command (command byte is always followed by a byte of data).
> b7 = 0 : refer to a byte of command or data
> b6, b5, b4, b3, b2, b1, b0 : command code sent to the player
Byte 1 (status) Byte 3 (data)Byte 2 (command)
