3. Using Offline

HD PILOT can be used to make settings on the HD-V9000 when connected in a network or by RS-232C, but it is also possible to store the settings files on USB devices or SD cards then load these files on the HD-V9000 to reflect the settings on the HD-V9000.

Settings files stored using the HD-V9000's load/save function can also be edited with HD PILOT.

HD PILOT is designed to set playback plans on the HD-V9000 (power schedule, order of playback and various settings) using the following procedure:

- Preparing the medium

-> Initialize the medium.

-> Create map files.

-> Copy the files to be played on the SD card.

- Creating the playlists

-> Set the order in which the files are to be played.

- Creating the schedules

-> Set the HD-V9000's power on/standby plan by specifying times.

-> Also set the playlist to be played when the power is turned on and specifications for playing videos.

- Creating the settings file

-> Set the HD-V9000's operation (picture quality settings, etc.)

- Reflecting the settings onto the HD-V9000

-> Apply the series of settings created with HD PILOT to the HD-V9000.

3.1Preparing the medium – [File Management]

Preparation of the medium is performed at the [File Management] screen. Click the button shown below.

With the [File Management] screen, the medium is prepared using the following procedure:

1. Initializing the medium

2. SD card speed test

3. Creating the time map tables

4. Copying the files to be played onto the medium

5. Change non-supported filenames.

When using a medium on which this process has already been performed, there is no need to perform the procedure in this order.

Initialization ([File Management])

First initialize the medium.

Initializing the medium with HD PILOT ensures that the medium is in the specified format and creates the special folders used as media by the HD-V9000.

When [MediaInitialize] is clicked, the format is started.

Wait awhile for initialization to be completed.

SD card speed test ([LocalSD SpeedTest])

The performance required of the SD card depends on the videos to be played.

With HD PILOT, it is not possible to guarantee actually reading time on the HD-V9000, but it is possible to measure the SD card's reading speed on the computer as a rough indication.

When [LocalSD SpeedTest] is selected from the menu, the [SDSpeedTest] screen appears.

Click [Ready] to start measuring.

The results show the minimum, maximum and average values for five tests.

If the results shown values below the bit rates of the videos to be played, one can assume that it is likely the video will not play on the HD-V9000.

Also, even if the results are good, it may happen that the video may not actually be playable on the HD-V9000.

This test should only be considered a rough indication.

NOTE: The results of this test on the computer and on the HD-V9000 differ greatly for media formatted in NTFS.

For media formatted in NTFS, use the HD-V9000's measurement function.

Creating time map tables ([File Management])

Time map tables of video files must be created in advance to enable playback using playlists and all special playback functions.

Creating time map tables takes time. We recommend using a computer that is as fast as possible.

Click [FreeSelect] under [PC] in the [OperationMachine] section.

The folder selection screen opens.

Click the [GetInfo] button to display a list of the files stored in the specified folder.

Map files have not been created for video files for which [unknown] is indicated in the [Codec] column.

To create time map tables, select the files, right-click, and then click [MakeTimeMapTable] from the context menu.

Multiple files can be selected at once.

To do so, either click the first and last rows of the selection range while pressing the [Shift] key on the keyboard, or click the individual rows to be selected while pressing the [Ctrl] key.

NOTE: Files whose filenames are displayed in red on the list cannot be handled.

The following restrictions apply to files:

- Filenames must have no more than 120 characters

- Filenames must be in ASCII characters (one-byte alphanumeric characters and symbols 0x20 to 0x7f). Names in Japanese cannot be handled.

- Filenames must have extensions.

- Video contents must have the extensions ".mpeg", ".mpg", ".m2t" or ".ts".

- Filenames must not include the following characters: $, ', `, @, ~ (tilde), [ and ]

NOTE: Generally, various parameters can be specified when creating video files. For details on types of files supported on the HD-V9000, see the HD-V9000's operating instructions.

When [MakeTimeMapTable] is clicked, the screen for specifying the options when creating the map tables appears.

The meanings of these options are, in order from top to bottom:

- Turn the computer's power off after processing is completed.

- Quit the application after processing is completed.

- When creating the time map tables, divide files if they are larger than 4 gigabytes in size.

NOTE: When using split files, even if the content is below 4GB, the assigned drive will require "the size of the content + 1MB".

After the file is divided, it becomes the following.

Ex)001OPEN.mpg

-> 001OPEN.mpg.lst

001OPEN.mpg.prt01

001OPEN.mpg.prt02

001OPEN.mpg.prt03

001OPEN.mpg.map

NOTE: The proper authority for the access folder is required to execute the process. Without proper authority, the process is not executed. For details, contact the system administrator.

NOTE: For the applicable file format, the container must be TS/TTS compatible, the codec H.264/MPEG2 compatible. Time map table creation will fail for other files.

NOTE: When changing File name or replacing video files after creating Time Map Table, please recreate Time Map Table.

After setting the options, click the [MakeMapTable] button.

The progress is displayed at the bottom left of the screen.

When the time map tables are created, the values are displayed in the video file's [Codec] and [PlayTime] columns.

Copying the files to be played onto the medium [(File Management)]

Like when creating the map files, select the contents then right-click.

Select [CopyTo ] > [PC] > [SD] to copy files to the SD card.

Also copy bitmap files for the Image Overlay function and text files for the Text Crawl function to the SD card in the same way.

The file copies are automatically distributed into the proper folders.

Changing non-supported filenames ([File Management])

Like when creating the map files, select the files with non-supported names (displayed in red) then right-click.

Click [AutoRename]. A sub-screen like the one below appears.

Input the new filename in the [NewFilename] column.

With [AutoRename], the [NewFilename] column displays the filenames with non-supported characters replaced with the character specified at [RenameOmiissionSign] under [Application Local Environment].

Filenames with 121 characters or more are shortened to 120 characters and the end is replaced with the specified character and a serial number.

The filenames are changed by clicking the [Apply] button.

NOTE: The [AutoRename] function will not work for filenames including multi-byte characters and cases in which the extension is incorrect.

3.2 Creating playlist settings files ([Playlist])

Playlists are created on the [Playlist] screen. Click the button shown below.

Playlists allow you to specify the order in which contents are to be played, the repeat setting, and the timing at which images and text are played.

Videos, images and text can each be displayed one at a time.

At the [Playlist] screen, the playlist is created using the following procedure:

1. Getting the media's information

2. Specifying the order of playback for videos

3. Specifying the order of playback for pictures and text

4. Making the detailed settings for playback

5. Saving the playlist settings file you have created

The following editing functions are also provided:

- Adding, inserting and deleting playlists

- Playlist [Repeat], [Goto] and [Used Memory] functions

- Undoing and redoing

Getting the media's information ([Playlist])

Use this function to obtain the information on the files to be played as prepared on the [File Management]screen.

Click the [GetInfo] button. A list of the files is displayed.

NOTE: Files whose filenames are displayed in red on the list cannot be handled.

The following restrictions apply to files:

- Filenames must have no more than 120 characters

- Filenames must be in ASCII characters (one-byte alphanumeric characters a symbols 0x20 to 0x7f). Names in Japanese, for example, cannot be handled.

- Filenames must have extensions.

- Video contents must have the extensions ".mpeg", ".mpg", ".m2t" or ".ts".

- Filenames must not include the following characters: $, ', `, @, ~ (tilde), [ and ]

- Time map table must be created in order to add video files to playlists.

Specifying the order of playback for videos ([Playlist])

Video files are displayed in the [Video] section of the file list.

Drag and drop them to the timeline on the right side of the screen.

If the playing time is short, the bar displayed on the timeline may be extremely short.

In this case, use the [Zoom] button in the lower right of the screen to adjust by specifying the desired display magnification.

The video files are displayed with a bar with a length corresponding to the playing time, which grows as files are added.

Drag and drop files to add them to the list

To change the order of playback, use the mouse to move the bar created when the file was dropped.

Fill in the empty space.

Specifying the order of playback for pictures and text ([Playlist])

Picture and text files are subordinate to video files. Drag and drop the picture and text files to assign them to the video files.

When dragged, the video to which the file is to be assigned is highlighted. Drop when the desired video is highlighted.

Multiple picture and text files can be assigned to the same video file, as long as they fit within the video's playing time.

This way, it is possible to switch the picture or text at the specified time during playback of the video.

First, drag the right edge of the picture's bar to shorten its playing time.

Assign the picture file to the video file.

The file is added to the free space.

NOTE: The following restrictions apply to the bitmap files that can be handled as picture files:

- They must have a size of 640 x 360.

- They must be 24-bit bitmap files.

Add text files using the same procedure.

NOTE: Adjust the display timing so that the picture display does not switch during text playback. Playlists may not play properly if the picture display switches.

Check the timing by playing the playlist with the actual playback operation.

NOTE: The Text Crawl start time is the time at which preparations to display the text begin. Depending on the text content and type (RSS/Text), there may be a delay between the start time and the time the text is displayed. Check the operation beforehand.

NOTE: Text in UTF-8 format can be handled with the text function.

NOTE: There are restrictions to the amount of characters that can be handled with the text function. See below for approximate figures. Always check how actual playback operates beforehand.

<Maximum number of characters for the Text Crawl function>
Font size	European characters (*1)		Japanese/Korean characters
Min. (30 dots)	178	characters	136	characters
Small (35 dots)	151	characters	117	characters
Medium (40 dots)	136	characters	102	characters
Large (45 dots)	120	characters	91	characters
*1: 1 byte code calculated as width of the character "W".

NOTE: When "Moving Speed" is set to "Hold", the amount of characters that can be handled with the text function is restricted as shown below.

Font size	European characters (*1)		Japanese/Korean characters
Min. (30 dots)	24	characters	18	characters
Small (35 dots)	21	characters	16	characters
Medium (40 dots)	19	characters	14	characters

After loading the settings, reboot the HD-V9000 to reflect the set of settings.

4. Using Online

HD PILOT is equipped with functions for applying various settings to the HD-V9000 via LAN or serial connections.

HD PILOT can also be used to check the HD-V9000's status and control the HD-V9000 in various ways.

With LAN connections, it is also possible to upload and download content files, to upload firmware, etc.

4.1 Types of connections

Three types of connections are possible.

- Serial connections: Control of the HD-V9000 is performed via RS-232C cable.

- LAN connections: One-to-one communications between the computer and HD-V9000 are performed via LAN.

- Group connections: One-to-many communications between the computer and multiple units of the HD-V9000 are performed via LAN.

These different types of connections have the following distinctive features.

- Serial connections: Communications are possible simply with a computer equipped with a COM port and an RS-232C cable.

- LAN connections: A LAN environment is required, but these connections allow contents to be sent and received remotely.

- Group connections: A LAN environment is required, but with these connections the same settings can be applied in a batch to multiple players, contents can be sent and received, etc. Group connections are convenient when operating multiple players with the same settings.

4.2 Procedure for using while connected

When connected, maintenance of the settings (changing of settings, copying of contents, etc.) can be performed remotely from HD PILOT, but basically not while the HD-V9000 is playing.

Also, the HD-V9000 must be rebooted after the settings are rewritten.

Because of this, maintenance can be performed most smoothly if operations are performed following the procedure below.

1. Connecting to the HD-V9000

2. Stopping the HD-V9000's schedules (when managing the power by schedule)

3. Instructing the HD-V9000 to stop playing

4. Replacing the contents

5. Operations for changing the settings (playlists, schedules, etc.)

6. Starting the HD-V9000's schedules (when managing the power by schedule)

7. Rebooting the HD-V9000 (when playing repeatedly with the power on play setting)

8. Or shutting down the HD-V9000 (when managing the power by schedule)

Note that the HD-V9000 only accepts one LAN connection.

When for example the HD-V9000 is associated with other systems by LAN connections, the connection to the other system must be disconnected.

Serial connection settings

With serial connections, no special settings are required. Click the [Connect To] button to display the [Connection Settings] screen.

Check the [SerialConnection] radio button, and then select the [SerialPort] and [SerialBaudrate] settings.

All the COM ports recognized by the computer are listed in the [SerialPort] pull-down menu. Select the HD-V9000's COM port to which the RS-232C cable is connected.

At [SerialBaudrate], select the same value as selected in the HD-V9000's settings ([Initial Settings] -> [Options]).

Click the [Connect] button to connect.

4.4 LAN connection settings (LAN and group connections)

The HD-V9000's network address, etc., must be set in order for HD PILOT to connect to the HD-V9000 via the network.
