Application Notes
Note 1: Automatically Play on Power-Up
Many times, all you may want the Binloop to do is to play and
loop a video clip when it is powers up. This can be accomplished
using the Binloop’s built-in SMPTE generator, and the Timecode
control interface. This application note will lead you through the
process of configuring the unit to use these features to perform
this type of function.
Preparation
If you do not already have a SSD loaded with a video clip, then
follow the procedures found in the
Playing A Test Video section
before going any further. This section will take you through the
steps needed to format an SSD and load it with a test video.
This application note also requires that you have the Binloop
Configuration software installed on a PC, and that the PC is
connected to the Binloop using Ethernet or RS-232. If you do
not have this software or you need guidance with connecting
your PC to the Binloop, refer to the
Binloop Configuration
Software section before continuing with this example.
Connecting to the Binloop
To get started, launch the Binloop software and verify that you
have established a connection with the PC to the Binloop. An
easy way to do this is to upload the configuration from the
Binloop to your PC. To do this, click on
File ! New Upload from
Binloop… Unless you have already established a connection
with the Binloop, a screen will appear prompting you to select the
communication method. Select the appropriate method, and the
click
OK to begin uploading the Binloop configuration to your PC.
Once the upload is complete, a window will appear within the
Binloop application. This window is called the Trigger List, and
contains a list of all timecode triggers that were stored in the
Binloop. If there were no triggers stored in the Binloop, this list
will be empty. If you have reached this point without receiving
any communication errors, you have successfully established a
connection with the Binloop.
