The act of transferring your content from the PC it was created on to the IMPRESS system for
playback is called “Publishing.” With the IMPRESS system, several publishing options are available:
Ethernet – All IMPRESS systems include built-in Ethernet support, allowing you to place the
IMPRESS on a network of any size for high-speed transfers.
Direct Serial – All IMPRESS systems include a 10-foot serial cable that can be connected
between the PC and the IMPRESS, using an available 9-pin communications port. Serial
transfers are slower than Ethernet, but very simple to set up.
Removable Media – You can also publish to USB Flash drives. After publishing to the
removable media, simply remove it from the PC, and insert it into the IMPRESS. The project will
be transferred and played automatically.
All of these publishing methods are described in detail later in this manual.
Once published, the IMPRESS retains the projects on its built-in hard drive. The hard drive has a
capacity for a nearly unlimited number of images (10,000+). However, capacity may vary depending
on other types of content sent.
