FLASH MPX Manual

INTRODUCTION :

Thempx playeris aself-contained SolidState Mpeg4Video/MP3 Audioplayerhoused

in a small aluminum enclosure. The mpx player utilizes the latest development in

custom design single chip to decode various Mpeg compression systems including

Mpeg4 video, Mpeg4 Audio and Mp3 audio. Mpeg4 video is the latest video

compression that gives similar or better video quality than Mpeg2 video (DVD video)

at less than half the bit rate. The mpx player has two drives, Compact Flash Card and

USBFlashdrive. Ithas16digital input andisconfigured to providea very fastreaction

time so that the video/audio playback is instantaneous. The mpx player is pre-

programmed to play a multi stage interactive multimedia presentation and to support

push buttons and sensors. The mpx player is a solid state device that will give you

years of trouble free operation, superb video quality and at a much lower cost.

THE MPX PLAYER DUAL DRIVES :

The mpx player has two drives. It reads from a Compact Flash card OR USB flash

drive, but not both. The mpx player is a video/audio playback device only, it is not

configuredfordirectconnectionintoaPC.TheUSBportonthempxplayerisconfigured

strictly for reading the USB Flash drive only. It can not communicate with your PC

and/or download files from it.

To copy files into the Compact Flash Card, use a USB card reader and a PC (USB

port) and copy the files into the CF card. To copy files into the USB Flash drive, plug

it directly into the USB port of your PC and copy the files into it.

TYPE of COMPACT FLASH CARD and USB FLASH DRIVE :

If you are using a compact flash card for Audio or Low bit rate Video (under 4 Mbit/

s), you can use any standard Sandisk Compact Flash card. For higher bit rate video

(over 4 Mbit/s) use Sandisk Ultra II Compact Flash card only.

If you are using USB Flash drive use a USB Flash drive with 2.0 interface only. Do

not use USB1.1 interface.

The mpx player reads Compact Flash card and USB Flash drive that uses Windows

(98 to XP) DOS (FAT) format only, not NTSF. Do not format a new drive. However if

you have to format a used drive, format it with DOS (FAT or FAT32) format only (not

NTFS). The USB drive is also called Thumb Drive, Cruiser Mini, Stick Drive or Flash

drive.

HOW TO LOOP a VIDEO (or series of video files, audio files or

Jpeg pictures) AFTER POWERING UP:

NAMING A FILE PLACED AT THE ROOT

For the FLASH MPX player to work correctly, it is strongly recommended to include 6

digits in the file name for all files placed at the root on the memory card. These digits

are used to define the default audio level and the possible volume adjustments.

Digit 1 et 2 : undefined - recommended values 00. These two digits could be used to

determine a sequence, the order in which the player broadcast the files.

Digit 3 et 4 : define the default volume level of the player - between 01 and 16.

Possiblevalues :01to16 (01= minimumvolume,16 =maximumvolume, 08 =default

volume).

000100cheval.mpg : volume of player is set to its minimum

001600chat.mpg : volume of player is set to its maximum

Digit 5 et 6 : define the pitch of volume adjustment when using Vol+ and Vol- inputs.

Possiblevalues: 00 to16.The volume incrementwill be + or- the setting indicatedby

these 2 digits.

00 : no volume setting allowed

01 : adjustment + 1 or - 1 in relation to the default volume level set by digits 3 and 4

08 : adjustment + 8 or - 8 in relation to the default volume level set by digits 3 and 4

000116chat.mpg : volume set to minimum value ; possible adjustment on the whole

volume scale of the player using Vol+ et Vol-

Important : Do not include spaces nor special characters in the file names.

Any file (or files) in the root directory will automatically loop after powering up.

Caution : For the Flash MPX to work correctly, at least ONE file, video, audio or still

frame, must be stored at the root ; the file name must include the 6 digits which will

define the volume level of the player and the scale of adjustment.

HOW TO PLAY VIDEO USING PUSH BUTTON (or audio file or Jpeg

picture)

To play a file using push button, you have to create file folders. You can create up to

96 file folders, however the first 16 file folder are directly related to the 16 input. E.g.:

File folder 01 is for input 1, file folder02 is for input 2 etc.

Upon entering a file folder, the Flash mpx will automatically play the first file. While

playingor after playingthisfile youassignthe 16pushbuttons againtoplay otherfiles

(insidethisfile folder). Toplay the otherfilesinside this filefolder,you havetorename

eachfile byadding6numbersinfrontofthefile name.The functionof these6 numbers

is explained below.

HOW TO CREATE FILE FOLDER :

Create file folder on your PC or MAC and name it using 2 numbers (numerical) only.

Eg: 01, 20, 32 etc.

Maximum number of file folder is 96. File folders 00, 99,98 and 97 are exclusive and

are used for specific instruction only.

File folder that does not have 2 numbers will be ignored.

Example:

File folder 01 is accessible by input 1.

File folder 02 is accessible by input 2.

File folder 08 is accessible by input 8.

File folder 16 is accessible by input 16.

INPUTS:

The Flash mpx has 8 input and 1 UP input for a total of 16 input.

HOW to trigger an INPUT:

To trigger input 1 to 8, short it momentarily to ground.

To trigger input 9, short both 1 and UP momentarily to ground.

To trigger input 10, short both 2 and UP momentarily to ground.

To trigger input 16, short both 8 and UP momentarily to ground.

HOW TO JUMP INTO (ENTER) A FILE FOLDER:

Afterpowering up theplayerwill loopallfiles intheroot directory, relayis OFF. Ifthere

is no file in the root directory, then the player will simply idle and wait for an input.

This is the Home position of the mpx player. From this home position you can select

16 input.

From home position, if input#1 is triggered, the mpx player will immediately go to file

folder 01 and plays the first file in that file folder.

From home position, if input#2 is triggered, the mpx player will immediately go to file

folder 02 and plays the first file in that file folder.

From home position, if input#16 is triggered, the mpx player will immediately go to file

folder 16 and plays the first file in that file folder.

HOW TO PLAY A FILE WHILE INSIDE A FILE FOLDER:

After entering a file folder the mpx player will automatically play the first file in that file

folder. While inside a file folder you can set the mpx player to play 16 more files.

For example while playing the first file inside a file folder, if input #1 is triggered then

the mpx player will play the file with a file name that starts with 01. If input #2 is

triggered then the mpx player will play the file with a file name that starts with 02.

After finish playing a file and depending on the file name, the mpx player will read

characters 5 and 6 (file name) and stay or jump into this file folder.

Example: 000122Lion.mp4. After entering this file folder, mpx player will play this file.

After finish playing this file, mpx player will jump to file folder 22.

If the file folder does not exist, the mpx player will go into default mode and returns to

home position.

Below is the definition of the first six numbers of a file name.

Copy it into the root directory if you want a dark screen after powering up. Copy it into a

filefolder (and add00 intothename) ifyouwant adarkscreen afterenteringa filefolder.

IDLING with no sound:

If you are using the mpx player as an MP3 player only and you want it to idle (no

sound) after powering up simply leave the root directory empty. If you want to idle

after playing a file, you can use any Jpeg file (still picture) from your video camera or

download silent.mp3 files from our web site or use code 99 or code 97.

HOW TO PROGRAM the mpx player:

Tip: Always hook up the video out of the Flash mpx into a monitor. Test your

program’s logic by using mp3 file for the first file inside a file folder.

The mpx player’s operation is determined by the File folder structure and the first six

number of a file name. The easiest way to “program” the mpx player is by creating the

entirefilefolder structure inyour PC first.Aftertesting the logic,thenyou can copythe

entire file folder structure from your PC directly into the CF or USB drive.

Hook up the video out into a monitor. The screen will show info about the content of

the drive and also the content of the file folder. You can download a CF structure

containing MP3 sample sound (ZIP) from our website. The file name is CF-USB.zip.

APPLICATION EXAMPLES:

Example 1: (LOOP MODE)

Lion.mpg

Explanation: Copy000816Main.mpg andLion.mpg videoclipsintotheroot directory.

After powering up, the mpx player will loop 000816Main.mpg and Lion.mpg.

NOTES:

The above is an example of a video exhibit. For Audio exhibit, replace the video files

with mp3 audio files. For Jpeg slide show, replace the video files with Jpeg files (from

your video camera).
