ID-AL Event Video Player EVP3 0 – Quick Start Guide V1.1
3 Connecting the Hardware Interface
First, make sure that the player is off (mains adapter unplugged). Then, connect the hardware interfaces according
to the needs:
Interface Usage
microSD and USB If needed, prepare a storage device, then plug it into the player. See 5 Programming the Player .
Video output Compatible with a wide range of HDMI displays.
Audio outputs Connect non-amplified speakers to the amplified speaker output, or amplified speakers to the line-level audio
output, or use the HDMI audio.
Ethernet network Player time synchronization using NTP, access to the player storage through FTP, media stream playback,
playback synchronization for a group of players, player control using TCP/IP or Art-Net, preparation and recording
of show control content using Art-Net, display of web content hosted remotely, configuration and local control with
the remote administration.
Power supply outputs On the pluggable terminal blocks: power supply for accessories requiring little power.
RS-232 serial link Control of other devices, such as video projectors or PLCs, or control of the player from another device using a
dedicated protocol.
DMX512 input and output Connect them respectively to a DMX512 controller, such as a lighting console, and to DMX512 receivers, such as
dimmers or moving lights.
Input and output contacts Connect them as explained in the following sections.
3.1 Input Contact
The 1 + input contacts can be configured to trigger
various actions, such as playback control, standby, wake-
up, or sending a serial frame. Devices behaving like
switches can be connected between these inputs and the
ground of the player (e.g.: push-button, presence sensor,
relay, PLC, SensoPad, IRPad). Active devices can use
the power supply pass-through. Each input can be
configured as normally open or closed.
The 1st to th combined inputs are respectively associated
with the following values when active: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32,
64, 128. The action taken for these inputs depends on
their combination, defined as the sum of the values of all
the active inputs, which is simply the value of an input if it is the only one active. If more than triggering devices
are needed, the ID-AL Ext15In board or a diode-based circuit can be used to get more than combinations from
these devices.
By default, the standalone input plays folder 1, and the combined inputs play the folder numbered with the active
combination.
3.2 Output Contact
The outputs behave like normally-open switches between each contact and the
ground of the player (up to 500 mA per output). They can be used to operate
devices such as power relays, motor controllers, lights, or players.
4 Starting the Player
•After having connected all the required interfaces, turn the player on by
plugging the mains adapter. The status LED should quickly get red, which signals that the player is booting.
•Wait for the status LED to turn green, which indicates that the player is ready.
•Press on the remote control to display the on-screen menu, then configure the player according to the
desired settings such as system language, network, date and time, security of the access of the FTP server
and the remote administration, etc.
•When the player is connected to a local network, the configuration is possible with an internet browser. To do
this, enter the address of the player in the address bar (see 7 Identify the Player on the Ethernet Network ).
Once connected to the remote administration of the player, enter admin as identifier and password as
password.
•In order to make sure that the player benefits from the latest features and improvements, it is possible to
perform a firmware update from System settings → System update. If an Internet connection is
available, it is recommended to follow the automatic procedure using Check for update.
