Introduction
The MedeaWiz Sprite is a High Definition digital video repeater capable of HD 1080p HDMI
output. It has a direct trigger input and a 2-way communications serial port. The Sprite will loop
a video when power is applied, play a different video on a trigger or serial command, and then
go back to the looping video.
The Sprite has no black space when looping or changing files. It will hold the last frame of video
until the first frame displays.
In the trigger input mode, you can use a pushbutton, other dry contact, or 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 not to allow an interrupt.
In the Serial Control Mode you can have a looping video and control other videos to play on
command. Once the commanded video ends, the looping video will play again until a new
command is received.
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.

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” Mode 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 older 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, go into the on screen menu and set the Control Mode to Serial
Control, and set the Baud Rate to match your external controller.
You should always have a 000.xxx looping file if using the trigger input or serial control.
It can be a black 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.
