1.3 Summary of CF, SD, USB drives:
1. SD and CF cards can’t be used at the same time
2. When the CF card is in the machine, contents in the USB flash drive will be directly imported
to the memory card after plugging it into the unit.
Use a USB drive with a maximum memory of 8 GB otherwise the unit may not be able to read it.
3. The unit will read contents of the USB flash drive directly when there is no CF or SD card.
4.The unit will read contents of a SD card directly when there is no CF card in the unit-please
note that the maximum memory capacity for the SD card is 2 GB-the unit will not play a SD card
higher than 2GB.
5. When displaying video files, the CF card is the best option (downloaded via a USB drive)
6. When inserting a USB drive into the unit, to download content or play files, there is no need to
turn the unit off.
7. When inserting or removing the CF memory card or a SD memory card, always ensure the unit
is powered off first.
In all cases, the contents must be loaded either using the Ad Playlist Editor or by creating a
loop folder.
1.4 Programs-importing method by USB flash disk:
1. Create programs using the Ad PlayList Editor and copy on to a USB drive
2. Start up the machine, unlock the machine and plug USB flash disk in.
3. The contents of the USB flash disk will load into the memory card automatically.
4. After loading is completed, the machine will indicate which files were loaded/skipped and
restart automatically in ten seconds after pulling out USB flash drive. The unit will then play the
contents according to the schedule created.
1.5 Playing content using a loop folder
If you do not wish to use the Ad PlayList Editor, simply create a new folder, name it loop, and
then insert your files into this folder. Copy the folder into the memory card/drive, then insert the
memory card into the unit and the unit will play all files-you cannot vary the interval time effect etc.
The interval is set, in this instance, at approx 10 seconds per image.
1.6 Scroll Text Editor:
You must use the “AD PlayList Editor” editor software to add scroll text. (Refer to the specific
operating steps in the “AD PlayList Editor” editor software section).
1. Create a text file
2. Edit the words requiring display in created file (supports both Chinese and English)
3. Under single schedule, click the “scrolling text” box, browse through the folders and select the
required file.
4. You can add a “scroll text” text file for each schedule.
