Prerequisites
Ensure that your Media Player is installed as directed in the Media Player Installation Guide and
Media Player User Guide shipped with the hardware or available on the Control4 Dealer website.
To configure a Media Player in your system:
1. Add a Network File Storage driver to your Composer Pro project (available on the My Drivers
tab), then configure the properties including browsing to the network location. For information on
adding and configuring network file storage, see “Using External Storage Devices.” The network
location must be an open share location (no password required). The Network File Storage driver
supports both audio and video content.
2. Start Composer and connect to a Director.
3. Click System Design.
4. In the System Design view, select the room where the Media Player resides.
5. On the My Drivers tab or Search tab, double-click the Media Player model (such as Media Player
EVA8000) to add it to the project.
6. Identify the Media Player. In the Connections view:
a. Click the Network tab, select Media Player in the list, and then click Identify in the IP
Network Connections tab.
b. Enter the IP address assigned to your Media Player in the box provided.
7. Connect the Media Player.
a. Click the Control/AV tab.
b. Select Media Player in the project tree.
c. Define the correct video and audio connections.
8. Do one of the following:
• Scan the videos. In the Media view, scan the videos that are in video_ts format:
• Select Video Media under the network file share where you want to add the videos.
• Click Scan. The scan operation identifies the video_ts format video files, adds them to the
media database, and automatically associates the video metadata including cover art.
When the scan completes, the videos in video_ts format are available for playback from
the Navigators.
• Manually add the videos. In the Media view, manually add videos that are in formats other
than video_ts. Video formats other than video_ts that are supported by your Media Player
can be added to the media database in Composer Pro manually.
• Select Video Media under the network file share where you want to add the videos.
