Standard CD/DVD Updating

Standard CD/DVD discs containing MPEG and graphic overlay
(.bmp, .jpg, .gif, .tif, .tga or .png) files can be used to manually
update the media on your Firefly.
Any standard CD/DVD writing program and CD/DVD writer may
be used to create a disc.
1. Copy MPEG's and graphic overlay files to a folder on the PC
with the CD/DVD writer. When writing CD's/DVD's over a
network, test the network speed.
2. Write all files to the CD/DVD.
3. Test the disc in a Firefly prior to making duplicates and
distributing to sites.
See Media Maintenance on page 67 within the Remote Control
section for instructions on how to copy media from a standard CD/
DVD to the Firefly using the IR Remote Control or see Copy From
CD/DVD on page 103 for instructions on how to copy media from
a standard CD/DVD using the Front Panel six-button interface.
NOTE
While copying .jpg, .gif, .tif, .tga, .png or non 256-
color .bmp image files, Firefly converts those files to a
standard 8-bit, 256-color bitmap format and reduces
the image sizes, if necessary, to the system
maximum of 720 x 480 for NTSC. This is necessary
to ensure that all image files used for graphic
overlays are consistent in appearance and
functionality. As a result, all image files listed under
"Loaded Media" will appear with ".bmp" as their
extension.
If you do not want your images to be converted by
Firefly, create them according to the parameters
outlined above before transferring.
