NARROW CAST FUNCTION EXPLAINED

In order to use the narrow cast function inside the LS-120 it’s neccesary to upload the content to
the SD card or USB stick. LS-120 will not autoplay content from the SD card or USB stick without
preparing the content with the LS-120 software.

These are the steps you need to follow in order to play content from your SD card or USB stick.

-

Format the SD card or USB stick and use FAT32

-

Insert the SD card or USB stick inside the LS-120 (backside)

-

Install the LS-120 software (Windows only)

-

Make sure the LS-120 and the computer are connected to the same network and are in the
same IP range, in our test we used IP 192.168.1.2 for our computer, 192.168.1.254 for our
router and 192.168.1.200 for the LS-120

-

Install the LS-120 software

-

Double click the LS-120 icon to start the software

-

Now set the proper ip of the LS-120. In able to do this you need to click the following button:

When communication with the LS-120 is estabilist, you need to open the “Red Player Editor”
software to create the “program” which contains the video or image files you want to upload. To
do so, open the “Red Player Editor” from the file menu:

- Now drag the images from the image library to the program window

- When all images are added to “Window1”, please click on “Page1” and add another “Play
Window” just like we did for “Window1”

-

Last step we need to do before uploading the program to the LS-120, is add an item to
“Page1”. Without, the program cannot be uploaded. The item we add will not show on the
output because it’s “underneath” the “Window1” layer, it’s only needed for programming
reasons.

be need for programming reasons.

menu bar;
