Getting Started

Chapter 1 –INTRODUCTION

Introduction to the MP80RA UHD Media Player

The MP80RA is a high quality advertising solution that allows users to play SD, HD and

UHD content from USB or standard SD cards. It has an extremely effective performance

versus cost ratio and provides a great return on investment.

The MP80RA is a commercial grade, application specific graphics processor, specifically

designed for driving digital signage. Do not let the small size fool you; the powerful

internal video processor rivals the performance of a PC costing many times more. The

graphics capability is on par with a BluRay player and higher but with much greater

reliability because there are no moving parts.

Package Contents

The packing box should contain the following items:

MP80RA Media Player

12 Volt DC Universal Input Power Supply

HDMI cable

(optional) 3.5mm Video / L/R Stereo Audio Cable

Quick Start Guide

MP80RA Connections

The MP80RA is capable of driving a wide variety of displays at up to 2160P resolution at bit rates up to 40 Mbps. Depending

upon your application, connect the following cables to operate the unit.

Display cable –The preferred connection between the MP80 and the display monitor is a high quality HDM I cable

of no longer than 15 feet. Depending on the application, plug in the cable from the media player to the display,

switch, or first distribution amplifier. The MP80 does support Composite video and analog audio output via the

3.5mm jack on the rear panel.

oThe R/L Video port is a 3.5mm combination jack that requires a 4 conductor 3.5mm TRRS plug.

Note: Video output resolution has been pre-set at the factory for automatic negotiations. The media player should select the

highest resolution reported available from the Display. The output and resolution can be specified at time of order and pre-set

to your requirements.

Audio cable –The analog audio output is via the 3.5mm jack labeled R/L Video. You should only use the proper

cable for this output.

Note: The analog R/L audio will not be synchronized with the Digital Audio routed to the HDMI output. Simultaneous use of

Analog and Digital Audio is discouraged as there is noticeable delay between the two.

Note: If HDMI cable is being used, a separate audio cable is not required as long as the monitor has internal speakers.

Toslink –Digital Multi-channel audio is available on the optical connector. This may be configured by accessing

the Android setup screen via USB mouse control. Select Sound Manager and set as desired.

Power –The MP80RA uses a 12VDC, 2A power supply. Total power consumption is approximately 6 Watts

which leaves a large reserve in the power supply. Insert the power supply 12 VDC plug into the MP80RA power

jack. Insert the AC Plug of the power supply into an electrical outlet. The green power LED will be illuminated and

the unit will boot up within 1 minute.

Ethernet –If this is a networked installation, connect the Ethernet Port to a Switch or Router via an Ethernet cable.

The unit will automatically obtain an IP address as long as unit’s DHCP is selected as ON and there is a DHCP

server somewhere on the local subnet.

oPlease wait for approximately 1 minute until the unit completes the boot-up process. The media player

can be configured to have a default start-up item such as a video file or photo playback. If the default

application is the CE labs MP75 Emulator, Video should start playing automatically when the unit has

completed its boot-up process. Most applications with use the QS Player as the default startup

application. This allows communication with the QuickSign local and QuickSign Cloud PC control

applications.

IR Remote –Optional.

GPIO - These ports are generally used to interface with pushbuttons that can be used to trigger certain videos.

Refer to the GPIO section later in this manual for a full description of the eight GPIO ports.

IR Receiver –There is an internal IR receiver just to the right of the IR input jack. This is for use with an optional

IR remote.

WiFi Antenna Jack–The MP80RA may be ordered with an optional WiFi module which includes an external

antenna.

Reset–There is a recessed Reset button just to the right of the SD security door. Use a paper clip to reset.

Mounting

The media player should be located in a well ventilated air conditioned space for best operation. The overall

dimensions of the units are 3.2” x 6.2” x 1.0”. It is recommended to reserve 3 inches to the rear of the unit for

routing cables. The mounting dimensions given below are measured from center to center of the mounting holes.

The mounting holes will accommodate a #6 screw.

1.8”

6.45”

The unit has ventilation holes all along the top. Theses should remain uncovered during operation. There are no

ventilation openings on the bottom of the chassis, so it may be bolted directly to a shelf or monitor.

Chapter 3 –CONTROL SOFTWARE

Hardware and Software Requirements

Hardware

Platform Pentium4 2.0GHz Class Processor or better

Operating System Windows XP Pro / Vista Premium, Windows 7, 8, or 10

RAM 1 GB or more

Ports Ethernet 10/100

Software

There are two methods to control the MP80:

1. Local LAN control via QuickSign PC application (free).

2. Internet based control via QuickSign Cloud (paid subscription).

CE Labs QuickSign for MP80

The MP80RA can be remotely controlled from within a LAN (restricted to local sub-net) via the CE labs QuickSign PC

control software if the unit has our CE labs QS Player application installed. QuickSign allows you to scan your network to

discover installed players or you can manually add them. Once the player is discovered, the software may be used to check

status, set up the GPIO ports, add or delete content, create playlists, etc.

Please refer to the Help tab in QuickSign for a complete reference of available command options.

The QuickSign software is available at no cost with the media player. It may be downloaded from our website Support

Section at http://www.celabs.net. Click on the Digital Signage Solutions site, then RESOURCES and then DOWNLOAD. If

you need assistance in acquiring QuickSign, please contact CE sales dept. The help tab in QuickSign will show you how to

use the software and get started controlling your players.

MP80RA HD Media Player Manual Page 9of 32 Rev. 107- 06/21/16

Getting Started with QuickSign

First Impressions

When QuickSign is launched, it will scan the local LAN to find any available players and will automatically populate the

Media Players column in the left window. The Player Status tab in the right window will show you the current status of the

player that is selected in the left window.

The first screen you see on QuickSign is

Player Search. Click OK to add the

discovered players to the Media Player

database.

The main screen with Player Status selected will show you what is loaded and playing on the selected media player. The TV

symbol will be green when content is playing. If you see the RED cross/circle, that unit is not communicating with the control

software.

Loading New Content

Pre-requisites:

You have the QuickSign software loaded, the MP80 is all connected and communicating, so now how do we get our new

content on the TV screen? This software is very flexible and allows many avenues for digital signage content creation. There

are some basic steps to follow:

Procedure:

1. Load Media into QuickSign

2. Create Media Playlist

3. Optional –Configure GPIO push buttons

4. Create Layout (if desired to have signage around Video/Playlist Region)

5. Send Content to the player

Load Media into QuickSign

Click on the Videos tab and select Add Videos. Navigate to the folder that contains the videos that you wish to load on the

MP80. The files should be encoded according to MP80 Encoding Specification. Make certain that the file names do not

contain any spaces or unusual punctuation marks (such as @, %, &, *, etc.). Add all the video files you wish to use in your

content package.
