Introduction; Playing A Smil Demo - Advantech DSA-2130SAE User Manual

The DSA-2130SAE Media Player uses open communications protocols for extremely
flexible content presentation and playback control. SMIL-compliance means predict-
able results across multiple devices, and SMIL's non-proprietary nature means that
your investments are never obsolete.

4.1 Introduction

Using SMIL (pronounced "smile"), the de facto language of multimedia communica-
tions, the DSA-2130SAE Media Player understands the language "spoken" by pro-
fessional tools from multimedia powerhouses such as Adobe, Apple, Microsoft, and
Real Networks. What this means is quicker, easier, and better integration of your
players into your digital signage networks, opening up avenues of software controls
and realizing the full potential of your player hardware down the road.

4.2 Playing a SMIL demo

The demonstration files can be found in the Software and Documentation CD.
Step 1: Prepare contents using a PC
Prepare a formatted USB drive (using the "FAT32" or "FAT"
file system option). Copy the entire sample SMIL directory
with all its content files from Software and Documentation CD
to the USB drive. Make sure the SMIL directory shows up in
the root directory of the USB drive.
Step 2: Upload contents to player
Power up the player. Booting takes about 60 sec-
onds. When the orange boot indicator lamp goes
out, insert USB drive into the USB port to begin
upload. All files under the SMIL directory will be
copied to the player and the tutorial will begin to
play.
