Playing a Test Video
Now it’s time to put that nice shiny new Binloop to work and make it
play some video. This section will guide you through the steps
necessary to make that happen.
Preparation
Before you can play video on the Binloop, you need to load video
content onto a Compact Flash card. To do this, you’ll need the
following items:
1. Compact Flash card
2. Compact Flash card reader
3. Digital Binloop HD Test Video
Compact Flash Card
If you did not purchase Compact Flash cards with your Binloop, we
highly recommend you purchase SanDisk® brand cards. There are
many different Compact Flash devices out there with different specs
and compatibility issues. We recommend SanDisk® cards because
we can guarantee that they work in all of our Compact Flash products.
Also, it’s important to mention that Compact Flash cards come in a
variety of capacities. To help you select a size that suits your needs,
be sure to read over
Appendix B: Compact Flash Media
Capacities.
Compact Flash Card Reader
The Compact Flash card reader is required to interface the Compact
Flash device with your PC. The most common card reader connects
to your PC using USB. These are widely available in consumer
electronics stores, and can also be purchased from Alcorn McBride.
