4. Standard- or Fast Mode

4.1 Choose Mode

If the autoplay.txt has the following statement:

fastmode=yes (lower case letters only), then FP-PRO HD+ will enter Fast Mode. If theautoplay.txt DOES NOT have fastmode statement, then FP-PRO HD+ is in standard mode.

4.2 When to use Fast Mode or Standard mode

• If you need instant playback when a input (push button) is triggered, choose FastMode.

• In this Fast Mode you are limited to maximum 32 inputs (files) and you have tocombine these 32 files into a single file.

• If you are playing many files (different format) using push button OR need to useTimer and/or IR mode, choose the standard mode. In this mode, there is a 2-3 secondsdelay between input trigger.

4.3 Fast Mode

In this mode, FP-PRO HD+ will play a video segment instantly when an input is triggered.The FP-PRO HD+ will only play only a single file in the root, it will not play multiple files. After powering up, FP-PRO HD+ will SEAMLESSLY loop line 00 (see line 00 explanationbelow).

If you have a number of files that you want to play using the input, use your video editingsoftware to combine these files together to create a new single file. This single file is basicallya compilation of many files (video segments) where each video segment is represented byplaytime in seconds. You can then assign different input to play these different videosegments.

Example:

Suppose you have 4 different files, 1 loop file: loop.mov and 3 files to play using input:Lion.mov, Dog.mov and Tiger.mov.

Suppose Loop.mov is 100 second long, Lion.mov is 60 seconds, Dog.mov is 80 secs andTiger.mov is 220 secs.

Use your video software editing program to combine these 4 files and create a single file e.g.Test.mov. Inside this test.mov, you actually have 4 video segments: loop, lion, dog andtiger.mov. Total playtime of this test.mov is 100+60+80+220= 460 seconds long.

Page 21

Note:When creating the new single file video, end each segment of the video into the nearest fullsecond by adding black screens.

Example:

If the original Loop.mov is only 99.3 seconds, end this loop.mov segment at 100 seconds byadding 0.7 seconds of black screens. This segment is 100 seconds and starts at 0 sec and endsat 100 seconds.

After powering up, FP-PRO HD+ will seamlessly loop this Loop.mov.

If the original Lion.mov is only 59.7 seconds, end this loop.mov segment at 160 seconds byadding 0.3 seconds of black screens. This segment is 60 seconds and starts at 100 sec andends at 160 seconds.

If the original Dog.mov is only 78.2 seconds, end this loop.mov segment at 240 seconds byadding 1.8 seconds of black screens. This segment is 80 seconds and starts at 160 sec andends at 240 seconds, etc.

And here is an example of the memory card in fast mode:

Test.mov Autoplay.txt

And here is the content of the autoplay.txt:

fastmode=yes ……. (important: lower case letters only) 00=00,10001=100,160 02=160,240 03=240,460

Explanation:

fastmode=yes ……. (important: lower case letters only)FP-PRO HD+ is in Fast Mode.

00=00,10000 is the main loop file. This line 00 will automatically loop after powering up.FP-PRO HD+ will automatically loop line 00 after powering up. It will loop between 0 secsand 100 secs. Input 00 plays from 0 sec to 100 seconds, total playtime is 100 seconds.

01=100,160If input 1 is triggered, player will instantly jump to 100 second play to 160 second. At 160secs, player will return to loop line 00. Input 01 plays from 100 sec to 160 seconds, totalplaytime is 60 seconds.

02=160,240If input 2 is triggered, player will instantly jump to 160 second to 240 second. At 240 secondplayer will return to loop line 00. Input 02 plays from 160 sec to 240 seconds, total playtimeis 80 seconds.

03=240,460If input 3 is triggered, player will instantly jump to 240 second and play to 460 second. At460 second, player will loop back line 00. Input 03 plays from 240 sec to 460 seconds, totalplaytime is 220 seconds.

4.3.1 Input Codes:You can add special codes into each input as follows:

• If input does not have any code, FP-PRO HD+ will play this input from start to endtimeand automatically return to line 00.

• If the input has code X, then after playing from start to endtime it will pause and wait foranother input. It will not return to play line 00.

• If the input has code N, it will play with No Interruption. While playing it will ignoreother input. After playing from start to endtime, FP-PRO HD+ will automatically returnto play line 00.

• If the input has code L it will LOOP this video segment from start to endtime

Another sample autoplay.txt in fast mode using input codes X,N and L:

fastmode=yes ……. (important: lower case letters only)00=00,100 01=100,30002X=300,620 03N=620,82004L=820,9000

Explanation:

00=00,100FP-PRO HD+ will automatically loop line 00 after powering up. Playtime is 100 seconds.

01=100,300If input 1 is triggered, player will instantly jump to position 100 second and start play. Atposition 300 second, player will return to loop line 00. Playtime is 200 seconds.

02X=300,620If input 2 is triggered, player will instantly jump to 300 second and start play and thenPAUSE at 620 second, Player DOES not return to line 00, it will pause and wait for anotherinput. While waiting it will show the last frame (code X). Playtime is 320 seconds.

03N=620,820If input 3 is triggered, player will instantly jump to 620 second and play to 820 second. Whileplaying, player will ignore other input (N is no interrupt). At 820 second, player will jumpback to loop line 00. Playtime is 200 seconds.

04L=820,9000If input 4 is triggered, player will instantly jump to 820 and play to 9000 and then return to820 to loop input 4. (L is loop). Playtime is 8180 seconds.

Note: Use IR remote control key to test the input. Press key 1 to test input 1 etc

4.4 Standard Mode

If autoplay.txt DOES NOT have fastmode=yes, then FP-PRO HD+ is in standard mode.

Note: File name has to be 8 characters or less.

4.4.1 Resume play function : If an input is triggered while playing the loop file, the player will pause the loop file and playthe input. After finish playing the input it will return to resume play the loop file again. It willnot return to play the loop file from start. It will play from the last paused position.

Example:

While playing the loop file, input is triggered at 300 seconds. FP-PRO HD+ will pause theloop, play the input and after finish playing will return to resume play the loop file starting at300 seconds.

4.4.2 Loop video after powering up (standard mode): After powering up, FP-PRO HD+ will automatically loop the video in the root directory.

Manual heddier FP-PRO-HD+Rev. 1.1 (09.02.11)

Page 24

To loop video files after powering up, you have to do at least 2 items:1. Copy the video files into the memory card. 2. Create autoplay.txt using notepad etc. The content of autoplay.txt can be anything or evenempty.

The FP-PRO HD+ needs autoplay.txt as a pointer to locate the drive that will be used to playthe file.

Here is an example of the memory card content for loop after powering up:

F:/ 1Cat.mov2Bird.mov3Dog.movautoplay.txt (could be empty)

After powering up, the FP-PRO HD+ will play 1Cat.mov and then 2Bird.mov and then3Dog.mov and then loop back to play 1Cat.mov.

4.4.3 S eamlessly Loop Video after powering up (standard mode): After powering up, FP-PRO HD+ will seamlessly loop a video in the root directory.The FP-PRO HD+ will seamlessly loop a single video file, it will not seamlessly loopmultiple files.

To seamlessly loop a video file after powering up, you have to do at least 2 items:1. Copy the video file into the memory card. 2. Create autoplay.txt using notepad etc and add endtime=xxx statement (lower case only) 3. xxx is the length of playtime time in seconds.

Here is an example of the memory card content for seamless loop after powering up:

Suppose cat.mov playtime is 30 seconds. Normally the FP-PRO HD+ will loop cat.mov withblack screen in between. To seamlessly loop cat.mov, add endtime=30 statement insideautoplay.txt.

F:/ Cat.movautoplay.txt

Content of autoplay.txt is:

endtime=30.

Make sure that endtime is in lower case letters only.After powering up, the FP-PRO HD+ will play Cat.mov. 30 seconds after it starts playingcat.mov, FP-PRO HD+ will automatically (instantly) loops back to the start. It will loop backinstantly without black screen in between.

4.5 TIMER Mode (Standard Mode)

Automatically play different video files with time delay in between : After powering up, FP-PRO HD+ will automatically loop the video in the root directory.After a certain time delay, it will automatically play a file and then return to loop again. Afteranother time delay, it will play another file and then return to loop again.

It will repeat this cycle after the last file on the repeat list has been played. This mode is thetimer mode.

In Timer mode, the FP-PRO HD+ will play lines 80=xxx to 99=xxx in the autoplay.txt.To enter timer mode you have to set 2 items, number of files to play and time delay.

4.5.1 Set number of files:In Timer mode, set lines 80=xxx to 99=xxx in the autoplay.txt.

Use the IR remote control and do the following:

Suppose you only want to play 4 files (line 80 to line 83).While the FP-PRO HD+ is booting up or while playing a video, press the following keysequence: “SLOW”, “ SLOW”, “4”, “ SLOW”

The number of files to play is now 4 (lines 80 to 83).To exit timer mode use IR remote and do the following: “SLOW”, “SLOW”, “0”, “SLOW”

Note: The FP-PRO HD+ will remember this Timer Mode setting.

X is the number of files to play and is a value from 1 to 20. If x=0, the FP-PRO HD+ will exittimer mode.

4.5.2 Set time delay:To enter timer mode use IR remote and do the following:

“Time seek”, “Time seek”, “x”, “Time seek”, where X is the number of time delay in minutes.If x=0, the FP-PRO HD+ will exit timer mode.

Suppose you want to set time delay to 15 minutes.While the FP-PRO HD+ is booting up or while playing a video, press the following keysequence: “Time seek”, “Time seek”, “15”, “Time seek”The time delay is now set to 15 minutes.

To exit timer mode use IR remote and do the following: “Time seek”, “Time seek”, “0”,“Time seek”

4.5.3 To use this mode you have to do the following items:1. Copy the loop video files into the root of the memory card. This file will automatically

loop after powering up.2. Create a file folder and copy the files that you want to automatically play (with time delayin between) inside this file folder.3. Create autoplay.txt and define lines 80 to 99 in the autoplay.txt 4. Set the time delay5. Set the number of files that you want to sequentially play.

4.5.4 And here is how the FP-Pro HD+ operates:After powering up, the FP-PRO HD+ will loop the root files. After a set time delay, it willpause the loop file and automatically play 80=xxx file and then return to resume play the rootagain.

After another time delay, it will pause the loop file and automatically play 81=xxx file andthen return to resume play the root again. After playing the last file, FP-PRO HD+ will repeatthe cycle. This mode is called TIMER MODE

Example of the memory card content for timer mode:

F:\ Tiger.movautoplay.txt

VIDEO (File Folder)Bird.movCat.movDog.movLion.mov

And here is an example of the autoplay.txt for timer mode:

80=VIDEO/Bird.mov81=VIDEO/Cat.mov82=VIDEO/Dog.mov83=VIDEO/Lion.mov

4.5.5 S uppose the time delay is set a 15 minutes and the number of files to play is 4 (lines 80 to 83) : After powering up, FP-PRO HD+ will loop Tiger.mov. After 15 minutes delay, it will playLine 80 (Bird.mov) and then return to loop the root files. After 15 minutes delay, it will playLine81 (Cat. Mov) and then return to play the root files again etc. After playing the last file(Lion. mov), it will repeat the cycle again.

4.6 Play video using build in digital input (standard mode)

4.6.1 Standard-Mode:FP-PRO HD+ has 3 built in digital input. They are configured as IN1, IN2 and IN4, lines 01to 06 in the autoplay.txt.

To play file(s) using push buttons you have to do the following items:1. Copy the loop video files into the root of the memory card. This file will automatically loopafter powering up. Note: Add endtime=xxx statement to seamlessly loop this file.2. Create a file folder and copy the files that you want to play using the push buttons insidethis file folder.3. Create autoplay.txt using wordpad, notepad etc and save it into the root of the memorycard. The content of autoplay.txt contains the instruction on how you want to play the filesusing the push buttons. FP-PRO HD+ built in input plays lines 01 to 06 in the autoplay.txt.For inputs 07 to 48 use FP-PRO IOB.

Example of the memory card content for playing using digital input:

F:\ Tiger.movautoplay.txt

VIDEO (File Folder)Bird.movCat.movDog.movLion.movTiger.movBear.mov

Content of autoplay.txt for digital input:

01=VIDEO/Bird.mov02=VIDEO/Dog.mov03=VIDEO/Cat.mov04=VIDEO/Lion.mov05=VIDEO/Tiger.mov04=VIDEO/Bear.movendtime=60

In this example, the video files are stored inside VIDEO folder.60 seconds after playing tiger.mov, the FP-PRO HD+ will instantly loops back.

When IN1 is momentarily shorted to ground (01), bird.mov will play.

If IN2 is momentarily shorted to ground (02), dog.mov will play.

If IN4 is momentarily shorted to ground (04), lion.mov will play.

4.6.2 IR Mode (Standard mode):Use this mode if you want to use NEXT, PREV, PAUSE/PLAY, STOP and VOL+/- functionsusing push buttons through the FP-PRO HD+ built in digital input.

FP-PRO HD+ has a total of 6 built in input. In this mode, these inputs operate asfollows:

IN1 operates as PAUSE/PLAY.IN2 operates as PREV (previous, plays lines 60 to 79 in autoplay.txt only). IN4 operates as NEXT (next, plays lines 60 to 79 in autoplay.txt only).IN3 (IN1+IN2) operates as STOP.IN5 (IN1+IN4) operates as VOL + (volume up). IN6 (IN2+IN4) operates as VOL- (volume down).

To enter IR mode use the IR remote keys and press the following key sequence:

“Menu”, “Menu”, “x”, “Menu”, where x is a number between 1 to 20. To play 6 files, press“Menu”, “Menu”, “6”, “Menu” .

To exit IR mode, set the number of files to 0.To EXIT IR mode press: “Menu”, “Menu”, “0”, “Menu”

To use the IR mode, you have to do the following:1. Copy the loop video files into the root of the memory card. This file will automatically loopafter powering up.2. Create a file folder and copy the files that you want to play using the Prev/NEXT inputinside this file folder.3. Set the number of files to play. Use “Menu” key of the IR remote. This function sets thenumber of files to play using Next/Prev input. It will also causes the FP-PRO HD+ to enterthe IR mode.

If the number of file is 0, the FP-PRO HD+ will automatically exit the IR mode. 4. Define lines 60 to 79 in the autoplay.txt

Note: The FP-PRO HD+ will remember this IR setting.

Example of the memory card content for IR mode:

F:/ Tiger.mov autoplay.txt VIDEO …… (File Folder) Bird.mov Cat.mov Dog.mov Lion.mov

Here is an example of the autoplay.txt, set to play 4 files using NEXT/PREV:

5. Sync a Group of FP-PRO HD+

Use this mode if you want to sync a group of FP-PRO HD+ to create a single videopresentation. To sync together a group of FP-PRO HD+’s, you need 1 FP-PRO-IOB and theFP-PRO SYNC(s).

Please refer to the input board section below. The FP-PRO-IOB has a 4 pole dipswitchlocated at the rear. Switch is OFF if it is in UP position and ON if in DOWN position.

The input board is in sync mode if switch #3 (JP3) is ON (switch is in down position).

When input board is in SYNC MODE, it will initially send a SYNC command 60 secondsafter powering up and then continuously send sync commands at a preset time intervals. Thispreset time interval is called the synctime.

The synctime can be set by adding synctime=xxxx inside autoplay.txt of the master unit only.Xxxx is the synctime in 0.1 seconds increment. The sync board itself does not have anyswitches or settings.

Note: The FP-PRO HD+’s are sync based on it’s internal video clock not the SMPTE clock.

Here is an example on how to sync 3 FP-PRO HD+’s:

Manual heddier FP-PRO-HD+Rev. 1.1 (09.02.11)

Page 33

Note: Input board will automatically send SYNC command 60 seconds after powering up andwill continue sending sync commands as set by the synctime.

The synctime is set by adding this line inside the autoplay.txt of the master unit only:

synctime=xxxx. (xxxx is the synctime in 0.1 seconds increment). If an input is triggered, thesync will be OFF! To return to sync mode again, manually trigger the sync command bymomentarily shorting the UP and Ground terminal.

To expand the sync network, add Sync board only. You do not need to add another inputboard. Each sync board can connect into 2 (or 3) FP-PRO HD+.

Example:

To sync 5 or 6 FP-PRO HD+, you only need to add 1 more sync board (total 2 sync boards).Maximum connection is 2 sync boards, total 6 FP-PRO HD+. For larger sync system (morethan 6) use RS485 hub.For more information contact heddier electronic Inc.

For CF and SD card use USB card reader and connect it into the PC’s USB2.0 port. To copythe files, “drag” and “drop” the files directly into the drive.

The FP-PRO HD+ will only read DOS format. It will not play memory card that has a MACformat however you can use MAC to copy the files.

6.4.2 How to name the video file:Use simple 8 character letters only, DO NOT use any space in the file name. The FP-PROHD+ will not play if a file has a space in its name or if the name has more than 8 characters.

Example:

Big Bird.mov. This file will not play because of the space between Big and Bird. To play,change it to BigBird.mov (no space).

6.4.3 How to sort the video file:FP-PRO HD+ will sort and loop the file using 2 digit number.

Example:

The root directory contains Bird.mov, Dog.mov and Cat.mov.If you want to play Bird.mov to play first, add 01 in front of Bird.mov. The new file name is01Bird.mov.

The new files are: 01Bird.mov, 02Cat.mov, 03Dog.mov. After powering up, 01Bird.mov willplay first. Followed by 02Cat.mov and 03Dog.mov.

6.5 Power Requirement

The FP-PRO HD+ is supplied with a desktop switching power supply. The power supplyoperates from 120VAC to 240VAC at 50 –60Hz. Output is 12VDC, power draw is 20 watt.

Maximum input is 16VDC. This means that the FP-PRO HD+ will play directly from a12VDC car battery.
