duplicates and distributing to other sites.
Using a Media Update Disc
Use the following steps to perform a CD/DVD update:
1. Open the player’s CD/DVD drawer and insert the disc.
2. Close the CD/DVD drawer and the update proceeds
automatically.
3. The Front Panel Display indicates when the update is complete
and the disc ejects automatically.
4. If there are several updates to be completed, use as many media
update discs as required to perform the update. Insert the discs
one at a time. After each disc’s update is complete, the player
ejects the disc automatically.
Conversion of Graphics Files to 24-bit Format
When WebView makes a copy of a .jpg, .gif, .tif, .tga, or non
256-color .bmp image file, to the Mantis, it converts the file to a
standard 24-bit format and automatically determines the correct
image size for the selected output standard, for example 720 x
480 for NTSC. The Mantis stores the original image and uses it
as the thumbnail that is displayed in the various WebView
editing windows
If you do not want your images to be converted by Mantis,
create them according to the parameters outlined above before
transferring.
Test Master Update Disc
As a precaution, test the master disc before duplication and
distribution of the media update discs going into the field. In
addition, review CD/DVD update creation information and
always check videos for assured quality.
