Loading Software
The VOE software and firmware package is available on the CD accompanying a digital signage display with
VOE capability. It can also be downloaded from
http://www.hp.com/support. Install the software on each
networked media player to be used as a video source for displays.
To download from the Internet: Follow the link above, select the applicable country or region and language,
choose Support and Drivers, and then select Product Support and Troubleshooting. Enter the model name
of the display.
TIP: Before starting installation, owners of Windows 8, Windows 7, and Windows Vista operating systems
need to ensure that the display adaptor of the media player is running the latest Windows display driver
model (WDDM) driver. The drivers are available from Microsoft.
Launch the VOE installer from either the CD or the downloaded installation package. Two programs will be
installed: VOE and ViewSpan.
Windows may display a warning box or Security dialog during installation. Select the options to allow
installation and trust software from both Elite Silicon Technology and SMSC (Smart Mixed-Signal
Connectivity).
After the programs are installed, VOE starts automatically and will always run as a background process
unless the user deliberately stops it. The installation process installs a VOE icon on the desktop. In addition,
the user will see two new icons in the system tray as shown in the following figure:
