INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Hi Def Digital Signage Player. Your
complete satisfaction is very important to us.
Gefen
Gefen delivers innovative, progressive computer and electronics add-on solutions
that harness integration, extension, distribution and conversion technologies.
Gefen’s reliable, plug-and-play products supplement cross-platform computer
systems, professional audio/video environments and HDTV systems of all sizes
with hard-working solutions that are easy to implement and simple to operate.
The Gefen Hi Def Digital Signage Player
The Gefen Digital Signage Player is a compact schedulable media playback
device that allows user to create effective digital signage solutions in minutes.
Supporting 1080p Full HD on its HDMI output, this player is well suited for high
resolution digital signage applications.
Using pre-created video and audio files, user can easily schedule and distribute
these files for playback on the compact unit located at the digital signage
location. A multitude of audio and video codecs are supported for playback by
the player, including Full HD H.264 and WMV-HD. Connecting these units to
a network will allow the included server software to manage and upload new
schedules and files in a mater of minutes. The internal 2GB of flash memory
ensures ample space for hours of content.
A single user can literally control one hundred units, with grouping functions,
and see the live status of each player. If internet access is available to each
player, off-site management becomes possible with users creating content at one
location and uploading new schedules to a network of one, many, or all players.
Schedule designing software and server management software is included.
An HDMI and VGA output is available for connection to both analog and digital
displays, while a separate analog audio output is also provided for connection to
a separate audio amplifier.
How It Works
Using the included software suite, content can be scheduled into a playlist in
the Gefen Hi Def Digital Signage Player. Playlists can be created in a matter of
minutes. Content is transferred over IP to the internal memory.
User-created playlists are supported and can contain multiple digital signage file
formats such as audio files, video files, scrolling text messages, and background
images. This content can be set to play individually or combined for playback at
different times of the day, week, or month. Landscape and portrait-style displays
are supported. 2GB of built-in internal memory is provided to store multiple
playlists.
READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THE HI DEF DIGITAL SIGNAGE PLAYER
• Hi Def Digital Signage Player is only compatible with the Windows®
operating system.
• This unit can be used as a standalone solution, however, it is recommended
that each unit be connected to a network, thereby its full potential can be
realized by using the remote management software.
• The network settings on the player must be configured first so that the server
PC and unit can properly communicate with each other.
• Once connected and configured on the network, playlists can be set up and
timings can be created for practically any type of displayed media using the
Designer software which creates schedules and sends playlists to the device
for onward transmission.
• The maximum internal storage capacity of the DSP is 2 Gigabytes.
• The unit will continue playing its current schedule while a new schedule
is being uploaded. If there is not enough free space to upload this new
schedule, which includes all media content, the unit must be formatted to
create the space needed for this new schedule. This can be done using the
FORMAT option in the server software. Please see page 117 for details.
• The USB port cannot be used to expand its storage space. This port is
utilized for firmware updates and live ingestion of content directly into its
internal flash memory.
• This unit does not support the use of proxy servers
