This section describes how to set up and use the iDISPLAY tablet for the first time. The
tablet runs OUTFORM’s Pulse Player software by default, which runs on an Android
operating system installed in the player to play the desired content.
Setting up the Tablet Hardware
Connect the following components to the back side ports of the iDISPLAY tablet:
• The power adapter, plugged in to a nearby plug outlet.
• Alternately, power may be supplied through the RJ45 outlet by plugging in an RJ45
cable connected to a POE capable source. (15.6” tablet only).
The tablet automatically powers on and initiates the Pulse Player software, which in
most cases plays a sample video by default.
Playing Videos and Displaying Images
Copy video and image files to the tablet using a USB thumb drive as follows:
1. Insert an empty USB drive into a computer and create a folder titled “0” (the
number zero) at the topmost (root) directory of the drive. Ensure that no other
content is on the drive.
2. Copy the desired video and image files to be played into the “0” folder.
3. Eject the drive from the computer and insert it into a USB port on the back side of
the tablet.
4. A password prompt appears on the display. Enter the configured password using
the on-screen keyboard. By default this password is “11223344” without the
quotation marks, and can be modified later.
5. Upon successful entry of the password, select one of the two options that display,
either to delete and replace the existing content on the tablet or to simply add
additional content.
NOTE: If you choose to keep the existing content, the new content from the USB
drive is copied alongside the existing content, and no files are deleted. However, if
a file on the drive has the same name as a file already on the tablet, the file on the
tablet will be overwritten.
6. After a message displays indicating that the content has been copied, the USB
drive can be removed. The new content plays automatically.
NOTE: When auto-copying files from a Linux or MAC OS-based computer, hidden
metadata files, preceded by a period “.”, may also get copied into the “0” folder on the
USB drive. When Pulse Player attempts to play or display these files, a black screen is
shown momentarily. Use the Explorer app mentioned in the Android Operating System
Settings section below to manually delete these metadata files from the “0” folder on
the device.

Pulse Player Settings
The following table describes the Pulse Player settings. For more information on how to
use the underlying Android operating system, refer to the following section.
Setting Description
Software Update Check for available Pulse Player software updates. This
requires an Internet connection.
Back Return to playing the configured content.
Exit Exit Pulse Player and open the home screen of the base
Android operating system.
Exit Event Configure how the user stops content playback to open
the Pulse Player settings interface. Settings include the
following:
• Z gesture: Draw a large Z shape on the screen by
sliding a finger across the screen, starting at the top
left of the screen.
• Tapping the screen 5 times: Tap anywhere on the
screen 5 times.
• Z gesture and tapping the screen 5 times: Either draw a
Z shape or tap 5 times as described above.
Z Gesture
Detection Accuracy
Choose “Easy”, “Medium, or “Hard” to configure how
accurately the user must draw the Z shape to perform the
Exit Event. “Easy” indicates a low level of drawing accuracy,
“Medium” a fair amount of accuracy, and “Hard” a stricter
level of accuracy, all with regards to how straight the
lines of the Z shape are drawn and whether the drawing is
oriented correctly.
