The VC-HD16 can loop video, images or audio if there is a mixture of content it will

For more slideshow options view ‘7.ADDITIONAL SLIDESHOW AND VIDEO OPTIONS’
BUTTON ACTIVATION
The VC-HD16 can play content upon activation of up to 16 buttons. It is programmed
to play all content contained within the associated folder (01 - 16) when the button is
pressed. It will play through this content in an uninterruptible manner (pressing a
button again will not activate content) unless you change the ‘Autoplay.txt’ le to
remove the [n] after the designated button (see following section for more
information).
Volume + and - are set to inputs 17 and 18. The VCHD 16 is supplied with a SDHC card
already set up with the appropriate le order;
AUTOPLAY
FILE ORDER
Simply put the content you wish to be activated
via each button into the corresponding folder.
More than one media le can be placed in each
folder, however when that button is activated
the player will need to play through all les
completely before returning to the looping
attracter screen.
In this example a number of images have been
used as the attracter screen.
Note: You only require folders if they contain
content to be activated (see following button
examples for more information)
The Autoplay.txt programs the
buttons - it will appear like so.
If you delete this le or use a new
SDHC card be sure to recreate it
exactly as shown.
The [n] after each button number
enforces a non-interuptible rule
for each button. If you wish to
have content which can be
interupted when a dierent
button is pressed then remove
this [n] from the associated
button.

BUTTON EXAMPLE 2: 4 BUTTON - 2 FOLDERS + NEXT/PREV CONTROL
As mentioned you will not require all 16 folders if you only intend to utilise some
of the buttons.
The example above utilises only button 01 and 02 to activate 6 video les in
succession each, with a single image utilised as an attracter screen.
PIR ACTIVATION
The VC-HD16 can be programmed to play
content upon PIR activation.
A single PIR can be connected via the 12v
supply and button 01 terminal (see image
right). This means upon PIR activation all
content within folder 01 will be displayed.
for additional help please contact us:
www.blackboxav.co.uk/support
Tel: +44 (0)1639 874 100
Email: sales@blackboxav.co.uk
The above content will loop through 3 images ‘01’, ‘02’ and ‘03’ until the PIR is activated
it will then play the video located in folder ‘01’ before returning to the looping slideshow awaiting another PIR activation.
NOTE: Compatible PIR’s should be ordered via blackbox-av, they will come with the
appropriate voltage designated and teriminals connected.
.
A looping display can be utilised in PIR mode just as in the previous modes, this
means the VC-HD can display video or images in a looping fashion until the PIR
activates folder 01 and the content found within.
Note the autoplay.txt le must be set to non-interruptible playback for button 01
(01[n]=01/).
