2. Composition The digital video player is made up of a player section and the following different modules: - A network connection. An RS232 connection. A GPI connector. A Keypad connector. This is a list of the equipment supplied : - Rev 1.5 A digital keyboard, this guide, a Y/C cable , a BNC-BNC cable, a RCA-RCA stereo cable. special MP107 cords (mini din / RCA & mini din / 3 RCA) audio cord MP107 3.
3. Usage 3.1 The player When you turn the player on, the script reader starts up automatically after about 30 seconds. You must verify beforehand that the disk is indeed plugged in and that the key locking is activated. The order of the script reading and the description of the interaction with external modules are programmed in the script named SC00 and possibly in the sub-script files (SC01, SC02 …). 3.1.
Introduction to the FTP transfer protocol FTP = File Transfer protocol. After electronic mail and the WEB, FTP is another Internet service that evolutions in technology have made much easier to use, but the aspect of which is still not very userfriendly. This service, with email and discussion groups, were the only tools in existence before the appearance of the Web in 1990, and were at that time used mostly by research centres and universities.
On the contrary, others, before giving you access, ask you to fill out a little form. It's nothing to worry about, and won't present any problems if your intentions are honest. And if, upon the opening of an FTP page, you encounter the abbreviation pub, it has nothing to do with publicity, it just signifies free and public access. . For the ALPEG, the connection is made by directly typing your IP address with your login as: anonymous, and no password. How to access it? -Either through your navigator.
3.2.3 RS232 Connection The RS232 connections allow the player to be driven. - See programming chapter See connection appendix 3.2.
4 How to write script(s) 4.1 Language *: equals a space 4.1.1 Play Allows a script to be read Command: Play file_name_mpeg (option). Options: - * /f: no transition to black between two video files. - */l,n: read the video file ‘n’ times. Example: play*/clips/drop.mpg*/f 4.1.2 Wait Allows a time delay to be introduced Command: wait*n Example: wait*5: wait 5 seconds 4.1.3 Goto Allows you to go to a line of data. Command: goto *1 Example: goto*5: continue to execute script file at line n° 5 4.1.
4.1.6 R Allows a specific command to be sent to another channel by the series port. There are 3 commands possible: - R*x,KEYyy: read on player n°x, script corresponding to event yy - R*x,MPG/clips/fichier.mpg: read on player n°x video file.mpg. - R*x,SEQy read on player n°x script yy Examples: - R 1,KEY12 R 2,MPG/clips/drop.mpg R 3,SEQ14 _____________________________________________________ 4.2 some examples 4.2.1 Example 1 play/clips/drop.mpg /1,2 wait 3 play/clips/pubsony.
4.2.3 Example 3 play/clips/pubsony.mpg wait 2 SC01 Goto 1 10 : SC02 Goto 1 This script plays the pubsony.mpg video, waits 2 seconds, reads the SC01 script and returns to the beginning. If event n°10 is called up, the SC02 script will be read and will then return to the beginning of the script. ATTENTION: in the script file SC02 you must absolutely have a return order to the script SC01 (SC01), otherwise, the reading will always remain on the script file SC02. 4.2.4 example 4 play/clips/pubsony.

ATTENTION: If fewer channels are used, the contacts must imperatively be earthed (grounded). The closing of contact 1 activates an action associated to a command number 1 (example in the file SC00: 1: play /clips/video1.mpg ). Rev 1.
The closing of contact 2 activates an action associated to a command number 2 (example in the file SC00: 2: play /clips/video2.mpg ). The closing of contact 3 activates an action associated to a command number 4 (example in the file SC00: 4: play /clips/video3.mpg ). The closing of contact 4 activates an action associated to a command number 8 (example in the file SC00: 8: play /clips/video4.mpg ).
5.2 Language capacity 5.2.1 sub-scripts. The player allows up to 10 linked sub-scripts to be called up. Example: In the file SC00: Play /clips/file.mpg SC01 5.2.2 Video player Because of the FAT32 system, the maximum size for one single video file is 4 Go. 5.2.3 Commands The video output and format commands are: Colour video system: F0 = NTSC F1= PAL F2= PAL 60 Hz Outputs: F4= Comp -Y/C F5= YUV F6= RGsB F7= SVGA (Format: 720x575 - 37.
