Introduction The HDMP-S100 is a High Definition Digital Signage Player expansion module with simple web management interface to deliver high definition (720p) digital signage contents over any TCP/IP network. This expansion module must be plugged into the expansion bay of a compatible display device designed to work with HDMP-S100.
Warning: The main power switch must be off and the power cord must be detached before installation of the expansion module. Do not pull out the expansion module when the display is in use, doing so may result in damaging the expansion module and the display monitor permanently. Installation of the expansion module must be done by a qualified technician and don't touch these pin inside black connector to prevent ESD.
Principle of Operation The HDMP-S100 Digital Signage Player is a hardware MPEG-1/2/4 video decoder with network connectivity. Contents intended to be played on the HDMP-S100 Digital Signage Player will need to be converted into MPEG-1/2/4 formats before they are played back. When properly connected to a network (LAN or WAN) or via direct connection to a personal computer with a network patch (cross-over) cable, the HDMP-S100 can be configured with a standard web browser.

The letterbox effect will fit the media to entire screen; black edges may be added on top/bottom or left/right side if the dimension ratio of the media is not same as the screen. The pan and scan will adjust the media items by cropping off some edges to maximize the display of the media item.

[PL3] <textImage1.png>,E(CrawlLeft,64),R(5) <textImage2.png>,E(CrawlLeft,64),R(5) ^[PL3] FAQ: How will device respond when loaded with a faulty playlist file? The device won’t play any media files if the playlist file is faulty. Nothing will be shown on the display screen. If the media specified in playlist does not exist under device’s media folder, will device skip those missing files automatically? Missing files is considered as critical condition.
