Storage

The IS-SPX-1000 comes with 2 gigabytes of internal memory, but this may be expanded by connecting to
external hard drives, thumb drives, or other storage options via the USB port on the front of the device. The
USB port also allows connection to external control devices such as touch panels.

Configuration

The IS-SPX-1000 is configured via an intuitive web interface that can be accessed through any web browser.
This interface allows the configuration of display modes, network settings, time zone settings, firmware
updates and other operational parameters. For more information, please refer to the IS-SPX-1000 Web-Based
Configuration Pages section on page 13.

Connectivity

The IS-SPX-1000 connects to displays through onboard HDMI and VGA connectors. Through the HDMI
output, it is possible to support DVI displays via an adapter cable, but in this case the digital audio is lost. Both
connectors are simultaneously active so that two displays can be supported without the need of additional
splitters or distribution amplifiers. Where analog audio is needed an analog audio connector is provided.
The IS-SPX-1000 is a high-definition ready device: it can render content on digital displays with resolution up
to 1280x720 at 60Hz (720p resolution). The maximum resolution supported by the IS-SPX-1000 is
1920x1080 for semi static images.
The IS-SPX-1000 connects to the network through a standard RJ-45 connector. Each device has a unique
MAC address that allows to identify the unit and thus the associated display.
The IS-SPX-1000 supports 10/100BASE-T Ethernet via a standard RJ-45 connector. Each unit has a unique
MAC address and supports all the required protocols to connect to network file systems and retrieve media
elements. These include:

The IS-SPX-1000 supports USB2.0 Hi-Speed with a bandwidth up to 10 Mbyte/second.

Programming

Information on creating content for the IS-SPX-1000 using the AMX InspiredSignage XPress software is
available in the AMX InspiredSignage XPress Programming Guide, available from www.amx.com.

Supported Video File Types

The following codecs, formats, and protocols are supported by the IS-SPX-1000:
Supported Video File Types
Supported video codecs
Supported audio codecs
Media container formats
Streaming media protocol MMS, RTSP, RTP, SDP, HTTP; Uni- & multicast
The IS-SPX-1000 can play files as indicated above if they were created with supported codecs and are within
the video size specifications. If your IS-SPX-1000 is not successfully importing an SD video of the supported
file type, it was likely created with an unsupported codec or the file size is too large. If this is the case, try to
convert the video to a supported codec, using one of the many available tools for video conversion. The best
target format is the MPEG4 codec in the mov or avi file format.
