Connecting an external source with priority
An external source like video player or sat receiver can be connected to the POS-Line VideoPoster via HDMI. If priority of the HDMI
connector has been activated, the playback of the play list will stop as soon as a HDMI signal is detected. In this case, the HDMI signal
is shown on the screen. If the external player is switched off, the media player will automatically start or continuing playing back the
internally stored play list.

a network connection is not necessary..
