ID-AL Event Video Player EVP380 – Quick Start Guide V1.0
3 Connecting the Hardware Interfaces
First, make sure that the player is off (mains adapter unplugged). Then, connect the hardware interfaces according
to the needs:
Interface
Usage
microSD and USB
If needed, prepare a storage device, then plug it into the player. See 5
Video output
Compatible with a wide range of HDMI displays.
Audio outputs
Connect non-amplified speakers to the amplified speaker output, or amplified speakers to the line-level audio
output, or use the HDMI audio.
Ethernet network
Player time synchronization using NTP, access to the player storage through FTP, media stream playback,
playback synchronization for a group of players, player control using a dedicated TCP/IP protocol or Art-Net,
transmission on the DMX512 output or recording of an Art-Net stream.
Power supply outputs
(pluggable terminal blocks)
Power supply for accessories requiring little power.
RS-232 serial link
Control of other devices, such as video projectors or PLCs, or control of the player from another device using a
dedicated protocol.
DMX512 input and output
Connect them respectively to a DMX512 controller, such as a lighting console, and to DMX512 receivers, such as
dimmers or moving lights.
Input and output contacts
Connect them as explained in the following sections.
3.1 Input Contacts
The 1 + 8 input contacts can be configured to trigger
various actions, such as playback control, standby, wake-
up, or sending a serial frame. Devices behaving like
switches can be connected between these inputs and the
ground of the player (e.g.: push-button, presence sensor,
relay, PLC, SensoPad, IRPad). Active devices can use
the power supply pass-through. Each input can be
configured as normally open or closed.
The 1
st
to 8
th
combined inputs are respectively associated
with the following values when active:
1
,
2
,
4
,
8
,
16
,
32
,
64
,
128
. The action taken for these inputs depends on
their combination, defined as the sum of the values of all
the active inputs, which is simply the value of an input if it is the only one active. If more than 8 triggering devices
are needed, the ID-AL Ext15In board or a diode-based circuit can be used to get more than 8 combinations from
these devices.
By default, the standalone input plays folder
1
, and the 8 combined inputs play the folder numbered with the active
combination.
3.2 Output Contacts
The 8 outputs behave like normally-open switches between each contact and
the ground of the player
(up to 500 mA per output)
. They can be used
to operate
devices such as power relays, motor controllers, lights, or players.
