Viewsonic NMP-570W [16/21] Appendix faq

7. Appendix: FAQ

What video format can I play?

Video les encoded in MPEG-4 ASP up to 720x400 resolutions and 2Mbps

bitrates should play perfectly. If a certain video is not played as scheduled, or

if it plays poorly, please search the support site for “transcode” instructions.

The signboard is placed near my Wi-Fi access point, yet the connection is

unreliable.

Wi-Fi appliances in general should be placed 10 feet (3 meters) from the Wi-

Fi access point for reliable operation. Try relocating the access point further

away from the signboards to improve connection.

What can I do about the gap between video and video?

Video gaps (blank screen) occur before and after each video is played. To

minimize the gap, avoid back to back video programming by scheduling an

image between each video.

If both Ethernet & WiFi are connected, which one will take precedence?

When Ethernet is not available or disconnected, system will try to use WiFi

connection. If both connections are available, Ethernet will be used.

What is the maximum le size for a single video le?

The maximum video file size for the NMP-570/NMP-570w is 2GB. We

recommend reserving a safety margin to avoid exceeding the limit (i.e. limiting

les to 1850MB).

What should I do if I forgot my password?

In this case, please perform a factory reset.

Use the S/W RESET button located at the back of the media player to restore

factory settings. This will also clear the player’s password.
