How It Works

The Digital Signage Player with Wi-Fi connects to a display using analog (Composite / Component / VGA) or an HDMI cable. There are two options for connecting to the network: 1) Connect an Ethernet cable to the network, or 2) Connect using Wi-Fi. Then, connect a keyboard and peripherals to the USB ports to configure the unit. Use the included Composite A/V cables to connect the product to the 3.5 mm connector. Connect the 12 V DC power supply to the unit and connect the AC power cord to an available electrical outlet.
