Content Programming is so simple and straightforward:
The DV-68 Digital Media Player utilizes a 3-digit numbering system that is easy to set up using your PC’s file manager. If you want to use the Repeat (playlist) mode for continuous track playback then name your multimedia files starting with 001, then 002 and so forth up to track 199. The DV-68 will then play the files in numerical order, continuously and without pause.
In the Menu (select) mode use track #000 as the “attract” file, then track numbers 001, 002, and so forth up to track number 199 can be set up for immediate playback when a selection has been made from an input device such as a touch screen or push button key-pad. When the selected track has played the system reverts to playing track #000.
Use your PC's file manager to simply drag and drop compatible files from your PC to the CompactFlash in the Card Reader. The DV-68 is compatible with MPEG-2, MPEG-1, MP3, and JPEG file formats. While the DV-68 will play almost any order and mix of specified file formats it is recommended that all files have the same format for smooth playback and transitions. i.e. All files should be MPEG-2 or MPEG-1 or JPEG or MP3.
When playing JPEG files a still image will be displayed for approx. 5 seconds with a 2 second top-to-bottom transition wipe. When playing MP3 audio files the video will be blank with an ident in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.
After transferring your multimedia files to the CF card, remove the card and insert into the player and your DV-68 Digital Media Player is ready to play.
