PUSH MODE / PULL MODE

Using Push and Pull Modes

Use Push or Pull Modes when the Digital Signage requirements are:

• Playback and looping of media les

• Scheduling and playlist capability

• Remote content management using the built-in FTP client / server

The FTP Client and FTP Server

The Hi-Def Digital Signage Media Player contains a built-in FTP server and an

FTP client. To use the FTP functionality of the Hi-Def Digital Signage Media

Player, you will rst need to install and congure an FTP server and client on the

computer that will connect to the unit. There are many programs that can be

downloaded from the Internet that will serve this purpose.

Push Mode

In this rst section, we will discuss Push Mode. When we refer to Push Mode,

we are describing a process whereby content is (manually) “pushed to” the

Hi-Def Digital Signage Media Player using an FTP client. In this conguration,

the Hi-Def Digital Signage Media Player becomes the FTP server.

Conguring Push Mode on the Hi-Def Digital Signage Media Player can be

changed through the OSD or can be changed, directly, from within the

settings.xml le. Both methods will be presented.

NOTE: You should already be familiar with the schedule.gsh,

schedule.gpl, and settings.xml les and how they work. If

not, refer to the How the Hi-Def Digital Signage Media Player works

section on pages 16 and 17.

STOP: Before making any changes to the Hi-Def Digital Signage

Media Player, through the OSD, the USB drive must be connected

to the unit.
