Connections
The VP92 is capable out outputting vid-
eo either (A or B) (5 & 6) or both HDMI
out jacks. The I/O port (4) is used for
RS232/TTL communication and con-
necting to our line of interactive solu-
tions including PUSH, MOVE, SENSE,
WAVE, RFID, SCAN, TAP and ELEVATE.
The USB on the front or back (3) can be

Content Playback Options
The VP92 has 2 main catagories for
playing content. The 1st allows you to
play content from SD, USB, LAN, FTP or
a URL. With these options you can loop
content, schedule content and con-
nect any of our interactive device. You
can also control the player through
RS232 or TTL using the I/O port. The
2nd allows you to update content us-
ing our Cloud Service. To switch be-
tween the 2 catagories, press the Set-
tings button on the remote and then
select the “Content Playback Mode”
option (10).
Once the Playback Mode options are
listed, select an option. To play from
USB, SD, FTP, LAN or URL select the
“USD/SD/LAN/FTP” option (11), then
press the “Return/Last” button 2 times.

Play Content
From USB/SD
The VP92 is pre-
set to play from
USB or SD, which
will auto power
on and auto loop
any video, audio
and/or photos
loaded on the
SD or USB drive.
Once you con-
nect the player
to a TV or moni-
tor, simply load
your video, audio
and/or photo les
onto any SD Card
or USB drive and
insert it into the
player. The order

in which the les are sorted on the card is the order in which they play. Your player will start play and con-
tinue to auto loop until power is turned o. Once power is restored the VP92 will auto start and auto play
without any manual interaction.
Note: There is no need to select the USB or SD CARD option (15) if the “Play Immediately on Insertion of USB
- SD CARD” is checked (16). If you plan to play content from FTP, LAN or URL and you DO NOT wish to have
the playback interrupted by the insertion of a USB or SD then un-check these boxes.
Play Content From FTP
FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol. The VP92 will basically download and update les according to
what content is loaded in specic folder. Servers that have FTP available are very common. Your company
website can be used or you can set up a basic FTP with a company like Google, AWS and Azure.
The VP92 will scan the FTP folder you designate at an interval (19) of your choosing (we recommend a
refresh time of 5 minutes to 180 minutes). If the VP92 detects new les on the server, those les will be
downloaded and begin looping (once fully transferred). If no new les were added to the server but some
les were deleted, the deleted les will be removed from the VP92. If new les were added and other les
were deleted, the VP92 will download and loop all new les completely BEFORE deleting the removed les.
VP92 Settings and Options
Refresh FTP/LAN Content Every: (19) Enter the number (in minutes) that you want the VP92 to check your
FTP server for updates
User Name: (20) This will be the user name you would use to access your FTP server
Password: (21) This will be the password you use to access your FTP server

Host Name: (22) Enter the IP Address or url. Tip: If you are using a website, the url will usually look like
this - ftp.yourwebsitename.com
Port No: (23) The most common port numbers will be 21 (unsecured) or 22 (secured)
Folder Path: (24) Enter the name of the folder where your les will be located
Once you have these settings entered and you have an internet connection, click the “Check Connection”
button (25) on the bottom. The VP92 will check your settings and attempt to connect to the folder indi-
cated. The most common connection issues are: #1) incorrect port #2) the folder path must include any
and all sub folders and begin with a /
Once the VP92 reports a successful connection we suggest loading some les in the FTP folder on your
server before clicking the “Save and Exit” button (26). Once “Save and Exist” is clicked the VP92 will begin
downloading les from your FTP folder. Once the 1st le is downloaded, it will begin looping while the
remaining les are downloaded in the background.
Play Content From LAN
LAN is an acronym for Lo-
cal Area Network, which is
typically a closed network
within a single building
or institution. The VP92
will download and update
les according to what
content is loaded in spe-
cic folder on your LAN.
The main requirement
for the VP92 to access the
folder is that the path to
the folder must be smb
and“open”without requiring a user name or password. The VP92 will scan the LAN folder you designate at
an interval (30) of your choosing (we recommend a refresh time of 5 minutes to 180 minutes). If the VP92
detects new les in the folder, those les will be transferred and begin looping, once fully downloaded. If
no new les were added to the server but some les were deleted, the deleted les will be removed from
the VP92. If new les were added and other les were deleted, the VP92 will download and loop all new
les completely BEFORE deleting the removed les.
Note: Make sure to include the LAN IP address and then include all the folders and sub folder names sepa-
rated by a forward slash / (31)
Once you have entered the LAN Path, loaded some les in the designated folder and you have an inter-
net connection, click the “Save and Exit” button (32) on the bottom. The VP92 will check your path and
attempt to connect to the folder indicated. If a connection can not be established and error message will
appear. Once the VP92 detects a successful connection it will begin downloading les from your LAN
folder. Once the 1st le is downloaded, it will begin looping while the remaining les are downloaded in
the background.

(32)

Play Content From URL
In the settings menu,
simply select the URL op-
tion and enter the URL
(33) of the video, photo
or audio le you wish to
play. Next select a “Re-
fresh Day” (34) (any day
of the week or daily) and
“Refresh Hour” (35). In
the example to the right,
once the settings are saved the VP92 will download the le indicated. At 11pm everyday the VP92 will
download (in the background) the le located on the same URL and compare the les. If the le is dif-
ferent from the current content playing the new le will begin playing and the old le will be deleted.
Once the player is set up it will simply loop what ever le is loaded onto the URL. Example: 10 VP92’s are
connected to 10 screens that are playing a single video containing 5 perfume ads. These ads need to be
updated once a month. At the beginning of the month the administrator would log into your web site
and replace the le named“perfume_counter_ads.mp4”. The video of ads is dierent but the name is the
same. When the VP92 downloads the same video le“name” it will see if the content is dierent. If it is the,
new video will begin to play and loop. Note: Make sure the URL you enter is a true video le and not a URL
of a web page that“contains” a video.
Playback Modes (In Order and Random)
Below is a brief description of what each File Playback Mode does. All 5 modes can be used when playing
from USB, SD, FTP or LAN.
In Order: (36) All the content loaded either on an SD/USB or in a LAN/FTP folder will be played in alpha
numeric order. In the example below (37) the rst le to be played would be “Adams.mpeg”, then “Break
Dancer.mov” and lastly, “Costa Rica.mov”. Once the last le has played, the VP92 will automatically begin
playing the rst le and continue looping all loaded les endlessly.
Random: (38) This mode functions the same as “In Order” except all the les loaded on the SD/USB or
LAN/FTP folder will loop randomly.
Note: Both of these modes can be used with any combination of videos, photos and/or audio les. If you
desire to mix photos with videos and use transitions, the transitions only work on photos and not videos.
Also, make sure ONLY your desired les are loaded on the SD/USB or LAN/FTP folder. The VP92 will play all
content on the de-
vice/folder the re-
gardless if there are
les in sub-folders.

Playback Modes
(Interactive-In-
stant/Delayed)
These modes would
be used if you have
an application that
requires interactive
video triggering us-
ing one of our so-
lutions (45) (PUSH,
MOVE, WAVE, SENSE
and ELEVATE). For
example: Lets say
your application
requires a looping
video and 3 me-
Push Move Wave Elevate Sense
chanical buttons that each play a specic video (photo or audio) le when pressed. First you would load 4
videos on your SD/USB or FTP/LAN folder (46). These les would need to be labeled 000.mov (mov, mp4,
jpg, mp3, etc..), 001.mov, 002.mov and 003.mov (47). The video le 000.mov represents the video that
will loop endlessly until either button 1 (001.mov will play), 2 (002.mov will play) or 3 (003.mov will play)
is pressed.
• Instant mode (40) will trigger a dierent video even if the rst video has not nished playing. For
example: If 3 buttons are available and button 2 is pressed, video 002.mov will begin playing. If but-
ton 3 is pressed, then video 002.mov will stop and video 003.mov will instantly play.
• Delayed mode (41) will ignore any additional button or sensor triggers until the 1st video is nished
playing. For example: If 3 buttons are available and button 2 is pressed, video 002.mov will begin
playing, play once and then loop the 000.mov video again. If button 3 is pressed during video 002.
mov, the VP90 will ignore all requests for a new video until the 1st selected video is done playing.
Note: The le names MUST start with 3 numbers but you can add additional verbiage after the rst 3. For
example:
000 - Main Looping Video.mp4
001 - Learn More About Our Museum.mov
002.mpeg
003 - The Music Of The Wascanegi People.mp3
Playback Modes (Scheduling) (39)
This mode would be used if you wish to play specic videos at dierent times of the day and/or week. The
VP92 will read a text le (48) on your USB/SD or FTP/LAN folder (49) that you create and can edit at any
time. The text le must be placed on the same USB/SB or LAN/FTP Folder that contains the video, photo
and/or audio les.
For example if you wanted to play a breakfast menu from 9am to 11am, a lunch menu from 11am to 3pm
and a dinner menu from 3pm to 11pm you would use this scheduling mode. Once scheduling mode is
selected you simply need to create a text le (48) with start and stop times and load it on the same SD/

Image Settings
The VP92 has several options for creating transitions when playing photos/images from SD, USB, LAN or
FTP. These settings do not apply to creating transitions between videos or videos to photos... only photo
to photo.
• Image Delay: (60)
The time between
switching from one
image to the next.
• Image Transition
Delay: (61) The
amount of time that
elapses from the
start of the transi-
(60) (61)
USB or LAN/FTP Folder as your video les (49). A sample play list can be downloaded from our web site or
can be manually typed from the example on the right (48).
• [MOVIE–AUTOFILE] (50) will be your looping attract screen
or default video. Even if you plan to play content all day,
everyday you must enter a le and load it on the SD/USB or
FTP/LAN Folder. The “Jennys Logo.jpg” will loop whenever
no other start/stop time is active.
• [DAY_TO_PLAY] Represents what day of the week you wish
to play the indicated le. Days of the week must be entered
as follows MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT (51) SUN. If you
wish to play the content everyday, then enter ALL (52).
• You can input an unlimited number of stop and start times
and the scheduler works o of a 7 day calendar.
Note: If you wish to simply loop les in a specic order, you
do not need to use scheduling (please refer to page 3 “Play
Modes (In Order) (36)).
Tip: The text le must be called playlist.txt (48).

(62)
tion to the end.
• Image Transition
Eect In and Out:
Chose from a vari-
ety of transitions in-
cluding Fade In/Out,
Rotate and Slide In/
Out. You can choose
a dierent transition
when bringing the
new image in and
taking the image out.
• Image scale type: While it is best to use images that match your screen size (If your screen is 1920x1080,
make the image a proportional size ex: 1920x1080 or 2880x1620) the VP90 can scale your images as
well.
- Center Crop: Your image will be centered and if the image is larger then the screen, the edges will
be cropped.
- Fit Center: (62) If your image is larger then the screen then the horizontal or vertical portion of the
image will be adjusted to t which would leave black bars on the sides that are smaller then the
screen.
- Fit XY: If your image is larger or smaller then the screen then the image will be adjusted (Squeezed
or Stretched) to t.
- Fit Start: The image will be scaled vertically and if it is smaller then the screen size it will be ushed
to the left and have a black space on the right.

Working with StudioPro - Advanced Mode
StudioPro is an extremely versatile and powerful screen management system. You can use a pre made
template and/or create a new campaign from scratch. The below instructions are just a quick overview of
the 1,000+ options that are available. For training videos and additional help, please visit - www. videotel-
digital.com/support.
Videotel also oers a campaign design service for a nominal fee. Our team will discuss your general
design requests and implement your photos, videos, links, text, etc. We will then provide you a training
video on how to edit and update your campaign. Simply e-mail us at [e-mail] for a quote.
When you rst open StudioPro the campaign design you chose will appear. To the right is an example of
the“Food Items”campaign (66). You can select a Timeline from the column on the left (67) (Pizza Subs is se-
lected) and then click the play icon in theTimeline window. This will play the designed video for 30 seconds.
If you wish to change the
timeline length, simply
click on the Timeline (69)
and edit the time in the
window to the right (70).
If you wish to play mul-
tiple timelines in order....
drag the next Time line
below the 1st one (71). Each Timeline has an output which is basically the screen
layout. You can design a segmented layout in “Screens”. Each segment can be as-
signed to a channel. In the above example (72)... CH1 is the thin column on the left
of the screen. Each CH is a channel and can be renamed. The channels are layers...
the 1st channel after the output is the back layer. Each additional channel is on top
of each other. The items in the channels are resources (73) or scenes (74) which
can be dragged into the Timeline. Once the are in the timeline you can click on the
(71)

item and change the length in the box on the right or sim-
ply drag it right, left, longer or shorter. You can upload your
photos, videos and other content by clicking the Resources
section (75) then click the + (76). To upload from your com-
puter, use the “from local” option. Once you have selected
your les, you now need to upload them by selecting File >

Save/Upload (77). When creating a scene with multiple items such as a background, text, clock (78), image,
etc... you can use the“Scene editor”(79). Once you create a new scene you can drag and adjust images, vid-
eos, icons, text and components. The components in the“toolbox”(80) includes over 65 widgets including
RichText (81), YouTube, SlideShow, Rss, Playlist (82), Clock, Weather, etc. Components can be used in Scene
editor or dragged directly into a time line. RichText for example allows you to create a box to type text and
edit the size, color, font, etc. Once you drag a widget to the Scene editor or on the time
line, you can click on it and then adjust properties using the edit panel on the right.
The Playlist option allows you to load multiple videos and or photos and have them
rotate according to the or-
der you set along with ad-
justing the time per video
and/or photo. Detailed

StudioPro has 2 modes - Advanced mode and Simple mode.
You can switch between these 2 modes by clicking the icon in the upper right corner (83). Simple mode
allows you to create 1 scene. Inside this scene yon rotate trough multiple images or videos using the Play-
list (84) widget. The“Outline”(92) section lists all the widgets on the scene. You can click on each one and
edit the properties to the right. In this example the text below the 1st“restaurant”section (93) is selected.
To the right you can see the same text in the “Label” section. The below example was downloaded from
the “Global scenes” (85) catalog, accessible from the “library” drop down option. There are hundreds of
templates and samples to choose from or you can create one from scratch (86). After making changes to
anything in StudioPro you must Save/Upload your work (77).
