How do I manage the playback of contents?
The media appliance is designed to be interoperable with leading 3rd party
management software solutions or via SMIL open standard commands.
Could the player display Flash or Microsoft PowerPoint presentations?
The player features limited PowerPoint support, but not Flash support.
While PCs can play many formats with varying degrees of success, RISC-
based media players are designed to reliably play specific video formats
(Please see spec for details). While Microsoft PowerPoint native files could
not play directly on a RISC-based player, the file is converted through other
software (i.e. Adfotain Manager Express) into an image format to be played as
an image slideshow.

Why won’t some media files play properly?
The video data bit-rate used may have exceeded the recommended bit rate.
The video data bit-rate is the amount of video or audio data used per second
to store or play the contents, usually expressed in Mbps (mega-bits per
second). Video encoded with excessive bit-rates will not playback smoothly in
the media player, likely due to storage i/o bottleneck.

The media playback looks different on a PC compared to the media player’s
screen. (Wrong aspect ratio)
There are 2 major aspect ratios (width-to-height ratios) for video content, but
many kinds of displays. If you play 4:3 video on a 16:9 display (or vice versa),
a circle becomes oval, and the picture takes on a squeezed or stretched look.
To avoid this distorted look, adding black bars are a common technique.
The Network Media Player can be configured to automatically add black bars
for certain types of displays. You can set the output resolution in NMP-570’s
configuration menu to match the native resolution of your display.
Some JPEG images cannot be played in the media player.
Progressive JPEG are not supported. Please convert to baseline JPEG for
maximum compatibility.
JPEG images can be either of 2 types: baseline or progressive compression.
Baseline JPEG offers greatest compatibility, while progressive JPEGs are
suitable for web site images. Progressive images are downloaded and
