Introduction
The MedeaWiz® Sprite® is a High Definition digital video repeater capable of HD 1080p HDMI
output with high quality stereo audio. It has a direct trigger input and a 2-way communications
serial port. The Sprite® will play a video or audio file in a circular loop, repeating when power is
applied. It will play different video or audio files by a trigger input or serial command, and then
return to the looping file.
The Sprite® has no black space when looping or changing files. It will hold the last frame of
video until the first frame quickly displays.
It is simple to set-up with an on-screen menu. No programming required. It has multiple
operating mode options to fit many needs.
In the trigger input modes, you can use a push button, other dry contact, motion sensor or a
voltage level change, with your choice of a High or a Low transition trigger. You can also choose
to allow an interrupt from a new trigger event, or to not allow an interruption of the file
playing. After a triggered file ends, the looping video will play again until a new trigger occurs.
In the Serial Control Mode you can have a looping video file and control up to 200 other video
files to play on command. Once the commanded video ends, the looping video will play again
until a new command is received. Serial Control can also be used with audio files.
The Hydra® accessory is available to use with the Sprite® in Serial Control Mode. It adds several
modes of operation with multiple trigger inputs, DMX 512 control, and 8 sinking outputs to
control lamps, relays and more.
The Sprite® also has basic “play all” file modes to play all files on the SD card or USB drive in
order or randomly when power is applied. Files will continue to play until power is removed.
A remote control is included for initial set up of the Sprite. Your settings are retained in
memory. Anytime power is applied the Sprite will automatically play according to the settings
you made.
The Sprite® is one of the most energy efficient “green” video repeaters available today. Using
only 5 Volt DC power at an average of 400 mA, it takes only about 2 Watts to run.
FCC, CE and RoHS certified.

Sprite® Quick Start Guide
The MedeaWiz® Sprite® ships with the Video Output set to HDMI at 720p and the Control Mode
set to “Trigger Low No Interrupt” to use a pushbutton trigger.
Most users can simply connect their HDMI monitor and install their SD memory card, with files
named in the same way as the earlier model MedeaWiz players.
Example 1: You have one file that you need to run in a loop when power is turned on:
Name the file 000.xxx (where xxx is the proper file extension such as mpg, wmv, mp4, mt2s or
etc.)
Example 2: You have a looping file and also want to use the Trigger with a push button:
Name the looping file 000.xxx as above. Then name the trigger file 001.xxx
Example 3: You have a looping file and also want to use the Serial Port control:
Name the looping file 000.xxx as above. Then name the other files 001.xxx, 002.xxx, 003.xxx and
etc. in order.
Using the IR remote control, enter the on-screen menu by pressing the Setup key, and set the
Control Mode to Serial Control, and set the Baud Rate to match your external controller.
Always have a looping file named 000 if using any trigger input or serial control:
The 000 looping file can be a black video file if no video is wanted until a trigger or command.
We suggest the looping file be at least 30 seconds long.
Make sure you are using ZEROS and not the letter O in the file name. Do not put the files in a
folder. Only put media files on the SD card or USB drive.
