MedeaWiz® Sprite Video Output Mode Select the video output needed to match your monitor. Select NTSC to use the Composite video output from the 3.5 mm AV jack using the yellow RCA plug from the included A/V cable. Select PAL for Composite video for some areas other than the Americas that use PAL video files and monitors.
MedeaWiz® Sprite Audio Output Mode Select the audio output needed. Select HDMI to route the audio through the HDMI cable to your monitor or amplifier with HDMI input. Select A/V to route the audio to the 3.5mm 4 pole AV jack and use the red and white RCA plugs from the included A/V cable.
MedeaWiz® Sprite Play Mode Select the play mode needed for your application Selections with no external input control: Select Off to manually play files using the IR remote control. Select Video to play all video files in a circular loop.
MedeaWiz® Sprite Control Mode Select the external Control Mode for your application Select Trigger Low No Interrupt to use a pushbutton or other contact closure event. When triggered, the file 001.xxx will play to the end with no interruption. Select Trigger Low with Interrupt to use a pushbutton or other contact closure. When triggered, the file 001.xxx will play and will re-start if re-triggered.
The default is 9600 bps. To use the legacy MedeaWiz DV-68K pushbutton control interface with the Sprite, set the baud rate to 4800. You will also need to fabricate or purchase an interface cable to adapt to the 4p4c modular connector on the DV-68K.
MedeaWiz® Sprite SD/ USB Start Mode Select the memory device to start from While files will play from the USB port from a USB drive, some HD video may not play well from some USB drives. For high bit rate files we recommend using the SD port with an SD card of sufficient speed to match your video file’s bit rate.

MedeaWiz® Sprite External Control – Wiring a Pushbutton to the I/O Port Using a pushbutton or other dry contacts The Control Mode should be set to Trigger Low No Interrupt or Trigger Low with Interrupt. The screw terminal adaptor shown above on the right is now included with the Sprite. Note that the numbers near the screws match to the numbers on the plug at the left, which is used in examples later in this manual.
MedeaWiz® Sprite External Control - Wiring for Serial Communications to the I/O Port The Sprite can be controlled by a Show Control or micro controller like a Basic Stamp, PIC, Atmel, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Prop-1 or etc. using serial communications at 3.3V or 5V levels.
MedeaWiz® Sprite PLC Output Interfacing The Sprite can be controlled from a Programmable Logic Controller using “dry contacts” like a push button, or voltage output. The sinking output is the preferred method if dry contacts are not available. The Sprite has an internal 10K pullup so the Sourcing output requires a low resistance from Output to Common to pull the Sprite’s internal voltage down to a “LOW”.
MedeaWiz® Sprite Motion Sensor Wiring There are many possibilities to add a motion sensor to the Sprite. One way is to use a common burglar alarm sensor with normally closed contacts. Wire the contacts like the pushbutton example and set the Sprite’s Control Mode to “Trigger High No Interrupt”...
MedeaWiz® Sprite Using legacy DV-68K and TK series interfaces with the Sprite The Sprite can work with the older DV-68K and TK-68K or TK-69K series of pushbutton controllers. For the DV-68K you will need to set the baud rate of the Sprite to 4800.
MedeaWiz® Sprite Serial Port Control from your Show Controller or Micro-processor For simple file playing, the serial codes are the same as the codes for the earlier MedeaWiz models. The serial communications is on the 3.5mm 4 pole jack at 2400, 4800, 9600 or 19200, 8N1 at 3.3 to 5 Volt TTL levels.
MedeaWiz® Sprite Serial Port Control Commands For Sprite FW version 20160509 Code Definition Remarks 0x00 Play file 000.xxx Play files 000.xxx up to 0x01 Play file 001.xxx file 200.xxx by sending a single hex byte. 0xC8 Play file 200.xxx Use numerical values, not CHAR values.

MedeaWiz® Sprite IR Remote Control We use a generic remote control that is used for various models of video repeaters and DVD players. Not all buttons / functions will respond, and some are only valid in certain modes. Most of our Customers will only use the remote for initial setup of the repeater. This is an IR control, and needs to be pointed directly at the front of the Sprite.
MedeaWiz® Sprite Power Supply The Sprite is one of the most energy efficient “green” video repeaters available today. Using only 5 Volt DC power at an average of 400 mA, it takes only about 2 Watts to run. The Sprite requires a regulated 5 Volt DC power supply, which is included. The power connection takes a barrel plug with 1.35mm ID and 3.5mm OD, center Positive.
