The DV4 HD Pro Multimedia Player is a simple to operate media player which includes software and
RS-232 functionality. On the DV4 HDV, live video can be directly input into your presentation using the
composite video input included on the device. This input accepts both PAL and NTSC inputs and
automatic detects and switches to the appropriate format. With this feature, users can place the video
into one of four quadrants if required or use the full screen to play the external video. The external
video can be scheduled by day and time of day like any other media file in your playlist for presentation.
The all metal enclosure features a passive cooling system. The product comes with 4 GB of built-in
flash memory and the securable compact flash card slot allows the addition of up to 32 GB of memory if
needed (replacing the internal storage). Two integrated USB 2.0 ports provide connection to a keyboard
and
USB storage devices. Support for over 20 different media formats provides a wide selection for content
creation. Connect composite video sources such as cameras, media players, satellite receivers and
cable boxes. The DV4 HD will recover and resume playback after power and network disruptions.
The included Manager Express Software allows users to upload video playback schedules and
playlists for easy content management. Additionally, software developers can utilize W3C SMIL
(Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language) syntax which ensures compatibility across multiple
Digital Signage platforms. Manager Express features over fifteen different multizoned templates to fit
your specific
Digital Signage needs. It also allows you to utilize our new Widget Templates which allow access the
time and date, in addition to local weather, RSS feeds, websites and tweets.
How It Works
The DV4 HD connects to a display using analog (Composite / Component / VGA) or an HDMI cable.
There are two options for connecting to the network: 1) Connect an Ethernet cable to the network, or 2)
connect using Wi-Fi (DV4 HDW and HDV. Then, connect a keyboard to the USB ports to configure the
unit. Use the included Composite A/V cables to connect the product to the 3.5 mm connector. Connect
the 12 V DC power supply to the unit and connect the AC power cord to an available electrical outlet.
The power supply automatically detects the type of electrical current you have and switches
accordingly. You will have to supply adaptors to accommodate your local electrical plug configuration, if
different from the standard used in the US.
