HMP Pull Mode
Firmware 3.0, version 1.0

CONTENT ACCESS
When connected to the network, the HMP can use four different methods to access
content:
Fusion: The content is uploaded and managed directly on the device using the
build-in Fusion interface.
Push mode: Files are pushed to the HMP using a WebDAV server. For example,
the HMD uses push mode to publish a Hyper Media Project to a HMP unit.
Client/Server mode: The HMP accesses files from a remote HTTP server. The
internal storage will be used as a cache.
Pull mode: Files are copied periodically from a remote server to the local storage
of the HMP.
Fusion
Fusion is a built-in web interface available on all HMP devices. Once Fusion has been
enabled, the user can upload content and manage playlists directly on the device,
without the need for any external software.
Fusion also includes the concept of a slide, enabling dynamic editing of text, and content
layout based on templates available on the unit. In this case projects or templates
created with HMD can be used, providing more flexibility to the user.
Fusion has the following advantages:
No setup is required as everything can be done directly on the HMP.
All the content is managed directly on the device.
The interface is intuitive and allows a basic set of operations that can be
performed by user without the need for special training on the device.
However, Fusion offers only a limited access to all the capacities of the player. It is
design for users desiring to control a small number of units, each of them individually.
Push Mode
Push Mode is the initial mode used to publish content to the HMP devices. This is the
mode used by HMD to copy files from the local storage of the PC to the internal storage
of the HMP.
When using the pull mode, the publication workflow is as follows:
The content is created on the local PC. HMD or other software can be used to
generate a set of SVG and media file compatible with the player.
