AMX InspiredSignage XPress Programming Guide
Importing multi-media files
XPress lets the user import many types of media files into an XPress project (or other folders) from a standard
Microsoft Windows Explorer window.
The operation is as simple as a drag-and-drop from the Explorer window to the target XPress browsing area.
You can also use the special upload... command, accessible by right-clicking the browsing area of XPress.
The advantage of importing media using the above procedures is that XPress can modify or transform the
media automatically so as to guarantee its content will be easily displayed by the IS-SPX-1000 player.
Whenever possible, use the above procedures when building your XPress project.
Importing images
Importing images into XPress will ensure that they can be properly displayed by the IS-SPX-1000.
Images too large will be resized.
Images in formats not supported by the IS-SPX-1000 (such as .bmp) will automatically be
converted to PNG images. If an image called example.bmp is uploaded, it will be renamed to
example.bmp.png.
Importing video
Video can be imported into XPress. During the import process, XPress will check that the imported video can
be played by the IS-SPX-1000. If it is not the case, XPress will refuse to import the video. In this case, check
that the CODEC used to encode your video are supported by the IS-SPX-1000, and that the video resolution is
within the IS-SPX-1000 specification.
Once the video has been imported, you can preview it directly using XPress, by double-clicking on the video.
By default, the preview of the video corresponds to the first frame of the imported video. You can change the
preview of the video in the browsing area by using the Capture Snapshot button (FIG. 4).
Importing PowerPoint presentations
While the IS-SPX-1000 doesn't support direct display of PowerPoint presentations (PPT). it does provide
import functionality for a PPT, so that when a PPT is imported into an XPress project, it is immediately
converted to video.
When a PPT file is imported to XPress, the conversion status is displayed in an new dialog box. Depending on
your presentation, this conversion can take up to the duration of the presentation. At the end of the conversion
the resulting video will contain all PPT slides with all animations.
For the conversion to work properly, the PPT file should contain automatic timings to control slide transitions.
The speed and the quality of the importing process can be modified using the Settings menu. The import
quality lets you choose between the following:
720p: HD-ready quality at 10 frames per second. Use this settings when converting a presentation
with small amount of animations.
High: SD resolution at 30 frames per second. This mode provides improved quality for the small
size text. If your presentation includes fonts smaller than 24 pt and many animations, it is
recommended to use the high quality mode.
Fastest: SD resolution at 30 frames per second.
Importing Flash (SWF) files
The IS-SPX-1000 doesn't support the direct display of flash files (SWF). it does provides import functionality
for SWF files. When an SWF is imported into an XPress project, it is directly converted to video.
You need to have the Flash 9 or 10 ActiveX control installed on your PC for this
conversion to work. If this is not the case, please install it from Adobe’s web site.
