DASHDAQ MEDIA PLAYER
The DashDAQ XL has the ability to play various sound and video files. This is done through an add-on called Media Player. The Media
Player is not installed on DashDAQ when it is shipped. This add-on is free and can be installed by updating DashDAQ with the DashDAQ
Recovery Tool (See Section “Updating DashDAQ” on Page 39). During the install process, at the driver selection screen, make sure to
put a check mark next to “Media Payer” which should be the last item in the list.
Now when the DashDAQ is powered on there will be an “Entertainment” icon in the Main Menu. Files that are to be played need to be
saved on a SD card in a folder called “media.” Most common types of music and video files can be viewed. Video files should be
reformatted to be no bigger than 480X272 and should be cut to around 10 frames per second.
After you have loaded your media onto the SD card, insert the card into DashDAQ and power up. From the Main Menu, tap on
“Entertainment” then “Media Player.” Select the file you would like to screen and tap “Ok.”
The media you selected will now play. Notice you have general playback buttons. If you hit the eject button the media player will turn
off and the Main Menu will reappear.
