Play videos, photos and/or audio files from SFTP

The SFTP option will download all files located in the "Folder Path" you designate at an interval of your choosing. Simply select the SFTP option and enter your user name, password, host name, port # and file path. Once "SAVE" is clicked the VP92 will begin downloading your files. Once the first file is downloaded, the content will be looped. Additional files will be added as they are downloaded. In the "Refresh FTP/LAN Content Ever:" box, enter the number in minutes you would like the files refreshed. The VP92 will then check the folder for new files, if one exists, it will be downloaded and played. If a file is removed from the folder, it will then be removed from the player.

Under the “File Play Mode” there are 5 options that will work the same for USB/SD and LAN as well (see top of page for more details)

 
Play videos, photos and/or audio files from LAN

The LAN option will download all files located in the "LAN Folder Path" you designate at an interval of your choosing. Simply select the LAN option and enter your user name, password, host name, and file path (if your LAN permits "anonymous" connections, then only the folder path is required). Once "SAVE" is clicked the VP92/VP92+ will begin downloading your files. Once the first file is downloaded, the content will be looped. Additional files will be added as they are downloaded. In the "Refresh FTP/LAN Content Ever:" box, enter the number in minutes you would like the files refreshed. The VP92/VP92+ will then check the folder for new files, if one exists, it will be downloaded and played. If a file is removed from the folder, it will then be removed from the player.

Under the “File Play Mode” there are 5 options that will work the same for USB/SD and SFTP as well (see top of page for more details)

 
Play videos, photos and/or audio files from a WEB file

The URL option will download 1 file located on any URL you designate at an interval of your choosing. Simply select the URL option and enter the url of a file you would like to download and play. For example: let's say you have a promotional video on your website that you want the VP92/VP92+ to play. You can right click on the video on your web site and choose open link in a new tab. The URL that comes up will be the one you will enter in the "Video URL:" field. When you click "SAVE" this file will be downloaded and then looped. You can decide if you want the player to check for a new file everyday or on a specific day (Monday, Wednesday, Etc) and at what time. If the file is the same, then the original file will keep looping.

None of the “File Play Modes” are available for the URL option.

 
Play content from HDMI IN, with an option to trigger video file 

The HDMI IN mode allows you to play content that is connected to the HDMI IN port to both the HDMI A and B Outputs. You can also trigger the player to switch the HDMI A & B outputs between HDMI IN and a video file that is stored on a SD, USB, SFTP or LAN.

HDMI IN DEFAULT MODE: In this mode, the video signal outputted to HDMI A and HDMI B can be switched between HDMI IN and video 001.xxx that is loaded on a SD, USB, SFTP or LAN. For Example: The signal from HDMI IN will be shown on HDMI A and B by default. When video trigger 001, 002, 003, etc is received (from a button or motion sensor), that video file will play in its entirety and then default back to HDMI IN.

VIDEO FILE DEFAULT MODE: In this mode, the HDMI A and B will loop the video file named 000.xxx on your SD, USB, SFTP or LAN. The HDMI IN signal will be sent to HDMI A and B when the 001 trigger is received. The HDMI IN signal will be displayed for the period of time entered above. For Example: The 000.xxx video file will loop by default. When the 001 trigger is received (from a button or motion sensor), the HDMI IN content will play on HDMI A and B for the period of time entered. Once this time expires, the 000.xxx video will loop again.

TOGGLE MODE: In this mode, the HDMI A and HDMI B output will switch between HDMI IN and the 001.xxx video file that is loaded on the SD, USB, SFTP or LAN. For example: The HDMI A and B will play the content from HDMI IN. Once the 001 trigger is received (from a button or motion sensor), the 001.xxx video will play and LOOP endlessly. When another 001 trigger is received, the outputs will then play the HDMI IN signal and wait for another trigger, then switch back. This mode is basically a toggle switch..

None of the “File Play Modes” are available for the HDMI IN option.

 
Play content from YouTube 

This mode allows you to stream (content is not downloaded) videos from YouTube. You can play and loop a single video, all of the videos on a playlist or all videos from a user uploaded list. In the below example a single video will be streamed. Simple enter the video ID (the text after the = sign) and click save. The file will begin to stream to both of the HDMI Outputs.

None of the “File Play Modes” are available for the YouTube option.

 
Play content from IPTV 

This mode allows you to stream (content is not downloaded) videos from any IPTV channel or playlist. Simply enter the Channel URL, Name and Logo, then click save. The IPTV channel will begin to play. You can also enter a playlist and then click PARSE. A list of all the channels available will appear. Simply choose the channel and click SAVE. 

None of the “File Play Modes” are available for the IPTV option.

 
Play Modes for USD, SD, SFTP and LAN 

Below is a brief description of what each File Playback Mode is capable of. All 5 modes can be used when playing from USB, SD, SFTP, or LAN. Interactive can also be used with our Cloud Service (StudioWeb and StudioPro) but it is controlled through a campaign built in the cloud and requires an additional device to send the commands to the server (I.P. PUSH), not from this settings section.

 
Split Screen - Play Different Content on 2 Screens With USB/SD/SFTP/LAN

When using the split screen option, you are able to play different content on each screen using USB, SD, SFTP, LAN, YouTube, or IPTV. When using USB, SD, SFTP, or LAN you can also SYNC both screens using your files or the VP92/VP92+ can split videos for you.
 
In this example, we will show you how to play different content (not in SYNC on both screens). The example below shows the USB/SD selection, but the instructions are the same for SFTP or LAN, but instead of the A & B folders being on a USB/SD they will be in your SFTP/LAN Folder.
 
Select "Split Screen", "USB or SD" and "Normal" on the "Play Files In A & B Folders" bar. Next, simply create 2 folders on your USB/SD and name them A and B. Load as many Videos, Photos, or Audio files in each folder. The "A" folder contents will play on the HDMI A Output and Folder B will play on HDMI B. All files will play in alphanumeric order and will auto loop.

In this example we will show you how to play different content IN SYNC on both screens. The example below shows the USB/SD selection, but the instructions are the same for SFTP or LAN, but instead of the A & B folders being on a USB/SD they will be in your SFTP/LAN Folder.
 
Select "Split Screen", "USB or SD" and "SYNC" on the "Play Files In A & B Folders" bar. Next, simply create 2 folders on your SD/USB and name them A and B. Load as many Videos, Photos or Audio files in each folder. The "A" folder contents will play on the HDMI A Output and Folder B will play on HDMI B. All files will play in alphanumeric order and will auto loop.
 
Important Tip #1: The files you load, MUST be the same length. Meaning that if the video you have in folder A is 1 minute and 12 seconds long, the same file in folder B must be 1 minute and 12 seconds long.
 
Important Tip #2: The VP92/VP92+ will search folder A and Folder B for files with the exact same name. Before transferring files from your computer we suggest creating the A & B folders first, load your files in each folder and then rename them. For Example: If your file names are Promo Right.mp4 and Promo Left.mp4, drag them to the A & B folder and then change them both to just Promo.mp4.

In this example we will show you how to split one piece content, IN SYNC on both screens. The example below shows the USB/SD selection, but the instructions are the same for SFTP or LAN, but instead of video to be split being on a USB/SD they will be in your SFTP/LAN Folder.
 
In this SYNC mode your video file(s) need to be loaded on your USB or SD without any additional files or folders. Simply chose if you would like your single video split in 1/2 vertically (shown below) or horizontally. When you click save, the player will create an A and B folder and then slice your file.
 
Important Tip #1: Make sure the file you use is proportional to your screens. For example the 2 TVs above are 1080p, meaning each screen is 1920 pixels x 1080 pixels. Since they are stacked on top of each other the horizontal size will stay the same at 1920. The vertical size would double to 2160 since we have 2 screens.
 
Important Tip #2: Slicing a video requires some processing time. The longer and larger the video file is, the longer it will take. For example: a 1 minute 1920 x 2160 file will take roughly 6 minutes to process. A 5 minute 3840x4320 video might take 20 minutes.
