About distributing the difference of the program data

For programs that are redistributed via LAN in order to reduce time, only the newly added movies, still images, and audio files in the program are distributed.

Program Type

Program to be newly distributed Program to be re-distributed Note 1)

Note 1) Redistribution means a program with the same name was previously distributed to the Media Player. Note 2) The message data and schedule file are always distributed. Note 3) After distribution, Media Player generates new program from new files and existing files. Unnecessary old files and old programs are deleted.

All files registered in the program Distribute only the movie, still image, and audio files that were added. Note 2)

Distribution file

Maximum program data capacity

For the maximum program data capacity of one Media Player, refer to the table below. If an insufficient SD card memory capacity error (Error code 441) is displayed during distribution, reduce the program data or increase the SD

Memory Card capacity.

Distribution method

USB memory

LAN

Note 1) The program data capacity is the total of capacity for each program data.

The capacity of one program data is the total capacity of the movie, still image, and audio data registered.

Ex) When the program distributed to one Media Player registers program 1 (still image 1 and movie 1) and program 2 (still image 2 and movie 1), the program data capacity

will be the total capacity for still image 1 + movie 1 + still image 2 + movie 1. Note 2) After distribution, the SD card occupied area can be confirmed in the “Memory Card” items of the OSD. Note 3) Depending on the structure of the program, the maximum capacity may increase.

Within 90% of the SD Memory card capacity Note 1), Note 2)

As a guideline, it should be less than 45% of the SD Memory card capacity. Note 3), Note 2)

Maximum program data capacity

Ex)

In the case of 2 Gbytes SD card, up to 1.8 Gbytes.

In the case of a 2 Gbytes SD card, up to 0.9 Gbytes as a guideline.
