This Quick Start Guide is intended to provide a brief overview of
the major features of the Firefly Media Player. Comprehensive
user and technical information can be found in the main body of
the Firefly User Manual.
How to Plug & Play
The Firefly comes loaded with sample videos that are useful as you
become familiar with Firefly's features and for diagnostic
purposes. Video playback is typically controlled through a
"playlist" that defines which videos are played on which channels
and in what order. Only one playlist can be active at any time,
though any number of playlists can be stored on Firefly for later
use. Whenever Firefly is turned on, the playlist that was last used is
reloaded and playback begins automatically.
The default active playlist for a new Firefly is called "factory.fpl",
which alternates between a spinning Visual Circuits logo and a
demonstration video. The fastest way to test Firefly is to simply
plug it in, connect the cables and turn it on.
1. Connect the power cable to the back of the Firefly and plug it
in to your power source.
2. Connect your video cables to the back of the Firefly following
the Firefly Video Connections Guide. on page 5.
Note that Firefly's default factory setting plays composite and s-
video NTSC and line-level audio on all channels. If your
application requires you to setup Firefly using a different video
standard and/or video output type, you will need to use the Front
Panel Display to change the system settings as needed. Consult the
section on Video Settings on page 76 within the main body of the
user manual for more information about changing these settings.
