6.4 Attract Videos
Overview
When the Game Gate™ VU is not being used by a player (no credits inserted), the Game
Gate™ VU will play videos on the LCD screen to attract the player and inform the player how to
get the game started. The Game Gate™ VU is designed to work with many file formats, such
as AVI, MPEG, and WMV. We recommend files that are high definition 720p minimum for the
best picture and audio quality. The Attract Videos must be uploaded into the Game Gate™ VU
through a USB flash drive, such as the one included with each machine.
What Videos to Use
Quasimoto recommends that the videos displayed include at least one video clip of the current
game being played in the machine, such as a game trailer. High definition game trailers can be
found through internet searches on websites such as www.gametrailers.com.
It is also possible to load commercials for products, movie trailers, and other consumer notice
videos. Such videos can be sold as advertising opportunities. If you have a good location, this
is an alternative revenue opportunity in operating Game Gate™ VU.
Video files will play in random order. To increase the frequency of particular videos, simply cre
-
ate more copies (with a slightly different file name) to increase the odds that a particular video
will play.
How to Load Videos
To load video files into Game Gate™ VU, you will need a computer and a USB flash drive, such
as the one included with the equipment. The example below assumes that the computer is run-
ning a Windows based operating system, but the principle remains the same regardless of the
operation system being used.
Insert the USB flash drive to an available USB port on the computer.
Click “Open folder to view files” to view the files
and folders on the USB drive.
