1 - Product presentation
The GeoPlayer is an audio player which reads MP3 and WAV files stored on a SD memory card.
Playback of audio files is triggered by global positioning coordinates recorded by the integrated GPS
sensor.
The GeoPlayer can read files in loop automatically on powering on ; at any time broadcast of background
audio can be interrupted to play a file when a identified geographical position is reached.
Through the integrated GPS sensor, the GeoPlayer compares its current position with the positions listed
in a correlation table. When they match, the GeoPlayer plays the audio file(s) associated to the position.
The GeoPlayer offers interactive GPS broadcast for tourist vehicles such as trains, buses, boats...
2 - Functionnalities
Geopositioning and interactivity: The GeoPlayer broadcasts audio files in relation to GPS positions.
Three trigger modes are available: Track mode, Alarm and Free Tour mode.
Autoplay: This function is available on the GeoPlayer; the player will automatically start playing the
selected files on powering on.
Broadcast mode: The way files are organized and named on the SD card defines the broadcast mode.
Directory and file names provide powerful automation of playback patterns.
Updating: By removing the SD card from the player to transfer updates using a card reader on a PC.
Audio output: Two audio outputs are available. Line level stereo output on standard 3.5 stereo Mini-jack
to connect the player onto a sound system and amplified output on screw-in terminal block to connect
directly onto speakers. The ouput power is sufficient for any vehicle.
Power supply: The player is protected against polarity reversal. Caution, the NanoPlayer accepts
variations between 10 and 15V. Outside this range, the player could be damaged.
Amplifier output power is determined by the power supply. When the line level output is used a 500mA
6W unit is enough to power the player. If the integrated amplifier is used a 2A (24W) power supply unit
minimum is required. If the supply unit has insufficient power, sound will be very bad and the power unit
will heat up and eventually break down.
