Quick Start Plug and Play

Installation Sequence

1.Install Firefly on network.

a.Connect your video and audio cables to the back of the Firefly.

b.Connect the video and audio cables from the Firefly to the inputs on the monitor and audio component.

c.Connect the power cable to the back of the Firefly and plug it in to your power source.

d.At start up, the Firefly runs through a a short series of self- diagnostics before beginning automated playback.

The Firefly comes loaded with sample videos that are useful as you become familiar with Firefly’s features and for diagnostic purposes. Video playback is typically controlled through a “playlist” that defines which videos are played and in what order. Only one playlist can be active at any time, though any number of playlists can be stored on Firefly for later use. Whenever Firefly is turned on, the playlist that was last used is reloaded and playback begins automatically.

The default active playlist for a new Firefly is called “factory.fpl”. The fastest way to test Firefly is to simply plug it in, connect the cables and turn it on.

The Firefly’s default factory setting plays component, 1080i, and line-level audio. If your application requires the Firefly to employ a different video standard and/or video output type, use Webview to change the system settings as needed. See the section on Video Settings on page 71 for more information.
