Connecting to Other Devices

A Variety of Options

PPA is designed with a variety of options to  

connect to other devices for input and output. 

Connecting to Computer 

PPA can be connected to a computer by USB 2.0. The

computer will recognize PPA as an external hard 
drive for copying files between the devices. 

When the USB cable connection is made, the PPA 

screen will turn off and the green light next to the 
PPA USB port will light up. At this time, all operations 
will be done on the computer. 

Display to TV or Monitor

To view photos and videos on a larger screen, PPA can 

connect to a display device by HDMI or RCA plugs. 

When the video output connection is made with the 

display device, the PPA screen will turn off and send  
the image to the display device.  If no image appears,
check to make sure that the display device is set to 
show the proper input. 

For RCA Component and Composite video connections,

use the “V-Out” jack at the top left corner of PPA and 
make sure to check the settings for 

Setup > System > Settings  > Display

Connecting External Hard Drive 

An external hard drive can be connected to PPA using

the USB port at the top of the device. This allows an 
an USB cable to connect PPA to an external hard drive.

For the external hard drive to be recognized by PPA, 

it 

must be formatted in FAT32 file format

.

Powering External Hard Drive: Since the external hard 

drive will be using power from PPA to operate, it is 
necessary to connect the AC power adapter before 
connecting the hard drive. In some cases, where the 
hard drive is still not able to get sufficient power, 
charge the PPA battery to full before connecting the 
hard drive. This will redirect the power from the 
battery charging to support the external hard drive.

Input Video Stream for Video Rec

The Video Rec feature on PPA makes video recordings 

in 640x480 resolution at 29 frames per second.  The 
video is recorded from the video signal provided via 
the “V-In” jack at the top right side of the cluster of 
three jacks. After the cable is connected, open 

VIDEO REC

 from the Home Screen to start recording.   

Either RCA Component or Composite video can be used.

Check settings in
