Via the Initialization File that you can find on the delivered SD Card Web Interface vs. Initialization File: Which to choose? This depends on your situation and personal preference.

  • Page 19: Web Interface

    6.1. WEB INTERFACE Using the Web Interface is a fast and intuitive way of configuring the UHD Player. You need a network connection to access the UHD Player via its web interface. Refer to the Connecting the Player to the Network Network Settings chapters for network details.

  • Page 20: Web Interface Overview

    Open your web browser and enter the UHD Player’s IP address into the address bar. The main page of the Web Interface will then be displayed in the web browser. Fig. 9: Main page of the UHD Player’s Web Interface with IP address in the web browser’s address line Info: Compared to the illustrations in this manual, the Web Interface may be displayed in a slightly different way, depending on the web browser used.

    6.1.2. CONFIGURING THE WEB INTERFACE After having edited one or several settings in the [Basic Settings] or [Advanced Settings] tab, these changes need to be applied. To do this, press [Apply Settings] at the bottom of the Web Interface. To restore the previous configuration, press [UNDO].

  • Page 23: Initialization File

    Data transfer is usually faster via an SD Card than via a USB data carrier. When using a USB data carrier, please ensure that the read speed is minimum 30 MByte/s. The UHD Player will only read from the USB data carrier (use the USB data slot) if the SD Card has been removed.

  • Page 28: Display Configuration

    Typically, the output devices send their EDID to the connected video source via the HDMI cable. By enabling Auto EDID, the UHD Player will automatically attempt to detect the native resolution of the attached output device. If [Auto EDID] is set to “On”, entering any value for [Resolution] will be ignored.
  • Page 29 Alternatively, you may set a fixed dynamic range. To do so, choose between the following options: “SDR”, “HDR10”, “HLG” (Hybrid Log-Gamma). [Pixel Aspect Ratio] The value for [Pixel Aspect ratio] should typically remain set to “Auto”. This means that square pixels are used for the video files (pixel aspect ratio = 1:1), which means that all common video files will be displayed in their correct aspect ratio on the output device.

    10.5.4. CUSTOMIZED ASSIGNMENTS Customized Assignments for external control devices will overwrite the default key assignment. For example, the first GPIO of the remote input port triggers [Item 1] in the playlist by default, no matter which item is currently being played. To assign a different command to this trigger, the new and customized assignment must be entered for every item in the playlist for which it should be valid.
  • Page 49 To call a certain playlist item when the default key assignment is turned off by adding “KeyOff”, use the following syntax: KeyOff <Key Name>=<Item number> … When “KeyOff” is used in a playlist item to disable the default key assignment, <Key Name>=<Item number>...

Button presses while ITEM 1 is running: When Button1 is pressed, the playback of ITEM 1 starts again. When Button2 is pressed, ITEM 2 starts.

  • Page 51: Media File Management

    11. MEDIA FILE MANAGEMENT The media content that is played by the UHD Player needs to be stored on the player’s SD Card or USB device; there is no internal storage for media files. There are several possibilities to manage the content of the player’s data carrier:...
  • Page 52 [Server address] e.g. ftp.dummy.com [Username] e.g. “User1” [Password] e.g. “secret” [Server folder] e.g. “/UHD Player content” [Start date] & [Start time] Set a [start date] in the format (dd:mm:yyyy) and a [start time] in the format (hh:mm:ss) by choosing the values from the corresponding dropdown menus. This is needed to define the beginning of the External FTP Auto Download.
  • Page 53 [… Interval] When the defined start date and start time is reached, the UHD Player tries to establish a connection to the FTP server and starts the Auto Download process. Based on the initial time, you can define whether this procedure will be repeated hourly, daily, weekly, monthly (every 28 days), or after an individually selected interval (in seconds).
  • Page 54 HOW TO CREATE AND USE A FILE LIST Use a file list (“FileList.txt”) if you want to do one of the following things while executing the External FTP Auto Download: Delete files from the player’s data carrier Copy only certain files from the external FTP server Create a text file using any text editor.
  • Page 55 PLEASE NOTE: As soon as a “FileList.txt” is used, e.g. to delete files from the player, only the files that are specified in this text document will be downloaded from the external FTP server to the player’s data carrier. EXAMPLE 1 – WITHOUT FILE LIST BEFORE Auto Download is started Content on the Player’s SD Card: Content on the External FTP server:...
  • Page 56 AFTER Auto Download is executed Content on the Player’s SD Card: 01.mp4 02.mp4 ByeBye.mp4 Welcome.mp4 As defined in the FileList.txt on the external FTP server, the file “Event.jpg” is first deleted, then only the files Welcome.mp4, ByeBye.mp4 and Playlist.txt are copied from the FTP server to the player’s data carrier.

  • Page 57: Via Local Ftp Server

    11.3. .. VIA LOCAL FTP SERVER The UHD Player hosts a local FTP Server. Using any FTP Client software, you may connect to the UHD Player and delete and/or copy files from/to the player’s SD Card. PLEASE NOTE: If you have changed the contents on the SD Card through FTP access or the file browser in the Web Interface, the UHD Player needs to rescan the sources.
  • Page 58 CONNTECTING TO THE LOCAL FTP SERVER You may use any FTP Client Software to connect to the UHD Player’s Server, e.g. the freeware FileZilla (https://filezilla-project.org/).
