CAUTION

10 Playing Content / Copying Content
Playing Content
Content such as still images, video, and
audio from an SDHC Memory Card can be
played on the display simply by inserting the
card into the memory card slot on the
VSP-BZ10.
To make advanced settings for content
playout, see “Using the Signage Web
Manager.”
Content stored on a USB flash drive cannot be
played.
1Insert an SDHC Memory Card into the
player.
2Connect the power cord.
By default, playout of the content stored
on the SDHC Memory Card starts
automatically once the player starts up.
About playout order
The VSP-BZ10 searches the data on the
SDHC Memory Card, and plays files
compatible with the player in ASCII code
order. When content is stored in folders,
playout of folders is also according to ASCII
code order.
• We recommend using ASCII characters
when naming folders and files.
• Before inserting and removing SDHC
Memory Cards, be sure to read the
“Precautions” section.
Copying Content
The VSP-BZ10 uses an SDHC Memory
Card as the recording media for playout
content. Content can be copied from a
computer onto an SDHC Memory Card.
To save content stored on a computer to the
SDHC Memory Card used with the player,
we recommend creating folders and saving
content on the SDHC Memory Card. You
can use any name when creating the folders.
1Use a new SDHC Memory Card, or
eject the SDHC Memory Card in the
player, and insert it into the memory
card slot on the computer.
2Save the desired content to the SDHC
Memory Card.
When creating subfolders within the
SDHC Memory Card, make sure to
create no more than 32 folder sublevels.
3Insert the SDHC Memory Card on
which the content was copied into the
unit.
The SCAnnnnnnn folder (where “nnnnnnn” is
the serial number of the player) is
automatically created on any SDHC Memory
Card that has been inserted in the player. Make
sure not to delete this folder.

Preparations for Using the Network Functions
Preparations for
Using the Network
Functions
The VSP-BZ10 can be connected to a
network. When connected to a network, the
IP addresses of the VSP-BZ10 can be set
using one of the following two methods.
Consult your network administrator
regarding details about IP address selection.
• Assigning a fixed IP address to the
VSP-BZ10
Normally this method should be used.
• Automatically obtaining an IP
address
If the network to which the VSP-BZ10 is
connected has a DHCP server, you can
have the DHCP server automatically
assign an IP address.
You can display the IP addresses that were
assigned by pressing the INFO button.
The VSP-BZ10 requires two IP addresses:
IP Address 1 (Controller), for the Signage
Web Manager, and IP Address 2 (Player),
for the content playout function.
Under factory default settings, IP addresses
1 and 2 are set to be automatically assigned
by DHCP.
If you want to restore the default conditions
after changing the DHCP and IP address
settings, reset the player settings.
Setting IP Address 1 (Controller)
for the Signage Web Manager
First, assign IP Address 1. The IP address
assigned in this procedure is used for calling
the Signage Web Manager from a computer
on the network.
1Connect the player and computer to a
network.
2Connect the power cord, and wait for
about three minutes.
Depending on the network environment,
you may have to wait longer than three
minutes.
3Start the browser of the computer.
4Enter “ xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (IP
Address 1 (Controller))” into the
address field, and press the Enter key
on the keyboard.
You can check the configured IP address
by pressing the INFO button on the player.
5Click the “Setup” tab.
The “Setup” screen appears. This screen
lets you set up the Network Password.
For details, see “Setup screen” in the
“Using the Signage Web Manager”
section.
6Click the “Network” button.
7Under “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP),”
click “Specify IP addresses.” Then
enter the IP Address 1 in the “IP
Address 1” input fields.
8Click the “Apply” button.
If you change IP Address 1, an error will
appear in the browser. Enter the newly
assigned IP Address 1 into the browser’s
address field.
Next, assign IP Address 2.
Setting IP Address 2 (Player) for
the content playout function
1Start the browser of the computer.
2Enter “ xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (IP
Address 1 (Controller))” into the
address field, and press the Enter key
on the keyboard.
Assigning a Fixed IP Address
to the VSP-BZ10
Tip

12 Preparations for Using the Network Functions
3Click the “Setup” tab.
The “Setup” screen appears. This screen
lets you set up the Network Password.
For details, see “Setup screen” in the
“Using the Signage Web Manager”
section.
4Click the “Network” button.
5Under “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP),”
click “Specify IP addresses.” Then
enter the IP Address 2 in the “IP
Address 2” input fields.
6Click the “Apply” button.
If you set up the player as described below,
an IP address can be assigned automatically
by a DHCP server on the network.
1Connect the player and computer to a
network.
2Connect the power cord, and wait for
about three minutes.
Depending on the network environment,
you may have to wait longer than three
minutes.
3Start the browser of the computer.
4Enter “ xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (IP
Address 1 (Controller))” into the
address field, and press the Enter key
on the keyboard.
You can check the configured IP address
by pressing the INFO button on the player.
5Click the “Setup” tab.
The “Setup” screen appears. This screen
lets you set up the Network Password.
For details, see “Setup screen” in the
“Using the Signage Web Manager”
section.
6Click the “Network” button.
7Under “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP),”
click “Obtain IP addresses
automatically (DHCP).”
8Click the “Apply” button.
Depending on your router, the IP address may
not be obtained correctly. (In this case, the
Auto IP Address is set in IP Address 1. An
Auto IP Address is an IP address assigned to a
device automatically so as not to overlap with
those of other devices on networks without a
DHCP server.) Confirm the specifications and
operations of the router before use.
Checking the automatically
assigned IP address
When an IP address has been automatically
assigned, you can call up the Signage Web
Manager as follows and check which IP
address has been assigned. The IP address
may change each time the player is turned
on. Therefore you must check the IP address
as described here every time you turn the
player off and on again.
1Connect the player to the display.
2Press the 1button, and press the
INFO button after the player starts up.
3Check the IP address that is displayed
in the dialog box on the display.
