Using A Drop & Go Playback Disc - Visual Circuits Firefly User Manual

Creating a Drop & Go Playback Disc
A Drop & Go disc can be created by copying MPEG videos onto a
CD/DVD using any Windows or Linux-based computer with a CD
or DVD writer.
1. For a CD or DVD to be used in Drop & Go mode, the disc
must contain 4 root-level directories. These directories must be
named "channel 1", "channel 2", "channel 3", and "channel 4".
These names are not case-sensitive. Moreover, the names will
be recognized whether you have a space between the word
"channel" and the channel number or not.
2. Next, copy videos into each directory. The videos you place in
each directory will play back on the corresponding channel.
For example, if you placed a video called test.mpg in the
Channel 1 directory, it will play back on channel 1 of the
Firefly. The playback order of the videos you place in each
directory is determined by alphanumeric order.
NOTE
The existence of additional directories, sub-
directories, and non-video files will be ignored and
will not prevent the proper operation of the Drop &
Go feature.
Using a Drop & Go Playback Disc
