HDMI VIDEO INPUT The BRZ-301 model of Breeze Player allows for an external video source to be included in a playlist. This means cable programming, live video input (from external hardware), and a variety of other video signals can be embedded directly in the playlist! Incorporating cable programming is the most common use for external video sources in digital signage. - Page 7 Note: Testing with the HDMI IN application is NOT recommended.
