MP80RA Connections
The MP80RA is capable of driving a wide variety of displays at up to 2160P resolution at bit rates up to 40 Mbps. Depending
upon your application, connect the following cables to operate the unit.
Display cable
– The preferred connection between the MP80 and the display monitor is a high quality HDM I cable
of no longer than 15 feet. Depending on the application, plug in the cable from the media player to the display,
switch, or first distribution amplifier. The MP80 does support Composite video and analog audio output via the
3.5mm jack on the rear panel.
o
The R/L Video port is a 3.5mm combination jack that requires a 4 conductor 3.5mm TRRS plug.
Note: Video output resolution has been pre-set at the factory for automatic negotiations. The media player should select the
highest resolution reported available from the Display. The output and resolution can be specified at time of order and pre-set
to your requirements.
Audio cable
– The analog audio output is via the 3.5mm jack labeled R/L Video. You should only use the proper
cable for this output.
Note:
The analog R/L audio will not be synchronized with the Digital Audio routed to the HDMI output. Simultaneous use of
Analog and Digital Audio is discouraged as there is noticeable delay between the two.
Note:
If HDMI cable is being used, a separate audio cable is not required as long as the monitor has internal speakers.
Toslink
– Digital Multi-channel audio is available on the optical connector. This may be configured by accessing
the Android setup screen via USB mouse control. Select Sound Manager and set as desired.
Power –
The MP80RA uses a 12VDC, 2A power supply. Total power consumption is approximately 6 Watts
which leaves a large reserve in the power supply. Insert the power supply 12 VDC plug into the MP80RA power
jack. Insert the AC Plug of the power supply into an electrical outlet. The green power LED will be illuminated and
the unit will boot up within 1 minute.
Ethernet –
If this is a networked installation, connect the Ethernet Port to a Switch or Router via an Ethernet cable.
The unit will automatically obtain an IP address as long as unit’s DHCP is selected as ON and there is a DHCP
server somewhere on the local subnet.
o
Please wait for approximately 1 minute
until the unit completes the boot-up process. The media player
can be configured to have a default start-up item such as a video file or photo playback. If the default
application is the CE labs MP75 Emulator, Video should start playing automatically when the unit has
completed its boot-up process. Most applications with use the QS Player as the default startup
application. This allows communication with the QuickSign local and QuickSign Cloud PC control
applications.
IR Remote –
Optional.
GPIO -
These ports are generally used to interface with pushbuttons that can be used to trigger certain videos.
Refer to the GPIO section later in this manual for a full description of the eight GPIO ports.
IR Receiver –
There is an internal IR receiver just to the right of the IR input jack. This is for use with an optional
IR remote.
WiFi Antenna Jack–
The MP80RA may be ordered with an optional WiFi module which includes an external
antenna.
Reset–
There is a recessed Reset button just to the right of the SD security door. Use a paper clip to reset.
