Chapter 1
Simple mode
Using the LoopDVP-HD in simple mode, is, as the title suggests, rather simple. Simply load the media
file(s) onto the SD card and it/they will be played in a loop in alphanumerical order.
When the player is turned on it will attempt to auto-configure the resolution on the VGA output. If there
is no device connected on the VGA port it will try on the HDMI port. If no device is detected also on the
HDMI port or communication between the screen / projector and LoopDVP-HD was unsuccessful, it
will revert to default mode: 1024 x 768 x 75p
NB: in most cases the screen or projector must be already turned on when the LoopDVP-HD is
switched on for the auto-configuration to work.
The following defaults are used:
- Audio output simultaneously on analogue output, and HDMI AC3
- Volume 100%
- Stretch videos to cover entire screen - aspect ratio is NOT maintained
- Centre static images with no scaling (edges may be cropped)
- 3 second interval between static image files
- Switch static image with no transition effects
If any of these settings need to be different then playlist mode should be used (see next chapter)

Playlist mode
A playlist / configuration file can be created using a basic text editor, such as Windows Notepad. The
file should be saved as autoplay.BSP (NB ensure the text editor doesn’t automatically add the
extension .TXT)
If there are no configuration settings in the playlist file the LoopDVP-HD will use the following default
settings:
When the player is turned on it will attempt to auto-configure the resolution on the VGA output. If there
is no device connected on the VGA port it will try on the HDMI port. If no device is detected also on the
HDMI port or communication between the screen / projector and LoopDVP-HD was unsuccessful, it
will revert to default mode: 1024 x 768 x 75p
NB: in most cases the screen or projector must be already turned on when the LoopDVP-HD is
switched on for the auto-configuration to work.
The following defaults are used:
- Audio output simultaneously on analogue output, and HDMI AC3
- Volume 100%
- Stretch videos to cover entire screen - aspect ratio is NOT maintained
- Centre static images with no scaling (edges may be cropped)
- 3 second interval between static image files
- Switch static image with no transition effects
If these default settings are acceptable then a playlist may simply contain the names of the files to be
played and their order, for example:
Introvideo.mpg
Show1.ts
Show_two.ts
The end slide.BMP
Outromusic.mp3
10min black video.mpg
In this example the files would be played in a continuous loop. Media files may contain spaces, and
combinations of numbers and letters. Any combination of static images, audio files, video files with
audio, and video files with no audio can be used.
