Drop & Go Disc Updating
Drop & Go Basics
When the Mantis loads a Drop & Go disc, the videos are copied to
the Mantis and playback begins automatically. Depending on the
number of videos to be copied and the length of each video, the
copying process can take several minutes. During the copying
process, the old videos continue to play and the Front Panel
Display indicates copying progress.
Creating a Drop & Go Playback Disc
Create a Drop & Go disc by copying MPEG videos onto a CD/
DVD disc using any Windows or Linux-based computer with a CD
or DVD writer.
1. A Drop & Go disc must contain 4 root-level directories with
the names channel 1, channel 2, channel 3, and channel 4.
These names are not case-sensitive. Moreover, the names are
recognized whether they include a space between the word
channel and the number or not: channel 1 is okay too.
2. Copy the videos for each channel into the appropriate
directory. The videos placed in each directory play back on the
corresponding channel: files in directory Channel 1 play back
on channel 1 of the Mantis. Video playback for each directory
is in alphanumeric order.
The existence of additional directories, sub-directories, and
non-video files is ignored and does not prevent the proper
operation of the Drop & Go feature.
