Introduction

Using inexpensive recordable CD’s (CD-R’s) you may play up to 99 tracks of a
video CD or you may present up to nineteen tracks of full motion video and a
‘video attract loop’ that plays continuously until another track is selected. The
selected track plays only one time, then the system returns to play the attract
loop until another switch is pressed.

CP-100 PRO replaces existing VHS or laser disc presentation hardware
solutions. Compared to DVD menu driven players, it is easier to work with and
has a lower media cost.

CP-100 PRO is a stand-alone unit with a built in standard IDE-CD-ROM, that
can be exchanged to DVD-ROM to playback standard DVD’s. The unit is
compact in size and is easy to install. It is especially designed for commercial
and educational uses for high quality video and audio.

If you do change the drives from CD to DVD, not all of the remote functions
will work the same way and the unit may require a firmware update. Please
contact your local Datavideo office to discuss your requirements.

Typical Applications:

Trade shows – video presentations with simple or sophisticated interfaces.

Hotels – A low cost solution to assist the maitre’d in telling about nearby

attractions, restaurants, transportation, theaters, etc.

Schools – Student productions and presentations

Museums – kiosks, exhibits, etc. Get more communication value

for your budget. Messages can be changed for the cost of changing the video
and a 30-cent recordable CD. You can use motion sensors, floor pressure
switches, broken light beam switches, etc., to begin a selected track.

Corporate – Segment your benefits program and have employees watch the
information that they must have.

Realtors – Make an attract loop that sells your company and then select video
tours of the most likely properties. Give the prospect the CP-100 PRO and let
them watch it at home with the family.

Medical – Non-invasive video recordings traditionally stored on VHS may be
created on inexpensive recordable CD’s. The CP-100 PRO is an excellent review
station.

CONNECTIONS

Connecting to a TV Monitor

NOTE: Before making any connections please ensure that the CP-100 PRO and
all devices that you are connecting to are switched off.

The CP-100 PRO should be connected to the video and audio inputs of a TV
Monitor. The TV Monitor may have a European Interface SCART socket,
PHONO (RCA) sockets or S-Video socket.

To connect to a SCART input, a three phono (RCA) plug (Left and Right Audio
plus Composite Video) to SCART Plug cable will be required.

S-Video offers the best image quality. However, the S-video cable does not carry
an audio signal, so a L+R audio cable (RCA) connection is also necessary.

22

Connecting to a Video Projector or TV / Monitor
with Component Video

NOTE: Before making any connections please ensure that the CP-100 PRO and
all devices that you are connecting to are switched off.

The CP-100 PRO should be connected to the component R.G.B. or Y.U.V. video
and audio inputs of a Projector or TV / Monitor.

23

Momentary Contact Switch Card

The beauty of the card is that it makes the switch wiring simple if you are building
a push button controlled, multi track video kiosk or display.

As an exhibit builder your focus is on the message not wiring switches.

This card uses convenient screw terminals to connect any kind of SPST contact
switches in a simple, logical manner so you can spend your time selecting
beautiful switches, engraving buttons or panels and integrating them into the
display. Should a switch ever fail, you can change two wires by loosening two
screws.

The card also has a DB9 connector. You can use nine pin male to male cables
and connectors.

24

Installing the Momentary Contact Switch Card

Mount the card so it is convenient for access. It has no active components. Heat
is not a factor.

After you have selected your switches and where they will be mounted, run two
wires from each switch to the appropriate positions on the green card.

You may connect either a 9-pin connector or nine wires.

Note: that the MENU position on the card is really for track one (the repeating
track – attract loop) on the CD. This switch would be used when someone wants
to exit the selected track and return to the menu track or the attract loop.

The other switches go to tracks 2 through track 20.

After you have selected your switches and where they will be mounted, run two
wires from each switch to the appropriate switch positions on the green card.

Connect these two
contacts together
to access Track #3

Q & A

Q: How do you make CD’s for the CP-100 PRO?
A: The simplest way is to use the Datavideo VDR-3000 as a recorder for your

already produced video tracks. Just record your tracks one after the other and
you’re done.

Of course you may use a computer with a CD burner and software that creates
Video CD’s.

If you don’t own a VDR-3000 they are available for rental or purchase from
Datavideo or through many of our dealers.

Q: How does all of this compare to making and using DVD’s in a display
situation?

A:

CP-100 PRO DVD’s

Media Cost Less than 50 cents More than 50 cents

Production Cost Video production, no

Remote Control Simple, inexpensive Not simple,

Q: How do I turn off/on the (OSD) On Screen Display?
A: Via the hand held remote. The CP-100 PRO has a set up memory. You will

need the remote to turn it on again.

Q: Must I use Datavideo’s VDR-3000 when making CD-s for the CP-100 PRO?
A: No…But here are three good reasons why you should consider using it.

(1) The VDR-3000 is a stand alone system that automatically encodes
incoming video and burns a CD without tying up your computer or risking
system failures if you chose to do something else (like check your e-mail) with
an internal CD burner.

(2) Every CD made on the VDR-3000 includes an auto run file that will let it
play back on your pc, without having to manually turn on the Microsoft
viewers.

(3) The CD-DVD format is easily available on the VDR-3000. This format is
equal to the average compression rate of a DVD.

Q: What happens if we’re watching one track and we push another button?
A: The system goes to the track selected by the most recent button push (contact

closure).

Q: Does the CP-100 PRO remember the set up configuration?
A: Yes. It remembers the last setup change as the next boot default.

Q: Can I replace the CD drive myself?
A: You can replace it with another CD drive and retain the control features

through the DB-9 connector. You may also replace the drive with a DVD player
drive but you might not have the remote control features.

Q: Does the CP-100 PRO remember the set up configuration?
A: Yes. It remembers the last setup change as the next boot

default.
