Recorded files must be in MPEG-TS format and use the supported codecs: H.264 with MP3 or AAC
audio. Having a viewer password could prevent the ability to use UPnP.
To play directly to a media player:
1. Connect to the admin interface using your preferred connection mechanism. See Connect to the Admin
Interface .
2. Login as admin.
3. Ensure Share recorded files through UPnP is enabled on your Networked VGA Grid and for the channel
or recorder you wish to share. (See Enable UPnP .)
4. Go to the recorded files list for the desired channel or recorder. (See View the List of Stored Files .)
5. From the list of files, select the file you want to play and click on the Play To icon for the file; a list of
visible digital media players is displayed.
6. Select a media player; the recording plays on the screen(s) connected to the media player.
Auto-restart playback to a UPnP device
In unmanned situations such as industrial applications and digital signs, it is useful to automatically have a
stream played to a digital media player, even if the Networked VGA Grid restarts.
To configure auto-restart of a stream to a media player:
1. Connect to the admin interface using your preferred connection mechanism. See Connect to the Admin
Interface .
2. Login as admin.
3. Click the UPnP link in the Configuration section; the UPnP configuration page opens.
4. Scroll to the Play on service start section.
5. Select a stream to use from the Live stream drop-down list.
6. Select a digital media player from the Player drop-down list. (Digital media players on your network that
support UPnP playback will automatically appear in the drop-down list.)
7. Click Apply.
Only a single stream and player combination can be configured for auto play. The channel's UPnP
configuration must be enabled for it to appear.
Change UPnP device name
You can configure the UPnP server name that appears for your Networked VGA Grid. By default, if you left the
server name field blank when enabling UPnP, the server name is the system's serial number.
