RECORDING AND PLAYBACK OF FILES WITH DISPLAY.

The modulator allows you to record and play .ts files stored on a USB stick. The selection of the files can be done both by front buttons and by “MD HD Soft” software. USB files playback has priority over input A HDMI.
When the USB port is connected, the MD HD EASY TWIN will be detected and the following screen will appear, leaving the display with the indication <USB> and the buttons disabled:

Recording and playback using buttons.
Connect a USB 3.0 stick and plug the modulator into the power.

Playback (PLAY)
Select the file available in memory, using the advanced menu:
In case the USB stick contains a file called “Autoplay001.ts”, it will play automatically when you connect the USB.
To play a list of files, name them with a numeric suffix. For example, “Autoplay001.ts”, “Autoplay002.ts”, “Autoplay003.ts”. At the end of the reproduction of one of them, it will continue through the next one and if there is no other, it will start again from first file.
Recording (REC)
Access the record function and enter the desired name of the file, character by character, for example:
Stop Playback/Recording (STOP)
Stop using a .ts file before starting any other file or be able to use the HDMI A input

USE OF THE USB STICK.

The modulator allows you to store and play back. TS files.
The. TS files must be stored on a USB 3.0 memory stick with FAT32 file system.
On the website you can find the software “EK Converter”. It converts the most common video and image formats to .TS format. Link: https://ek.plus/en/sw/ek-converter-en
Use MD HD Soft software to schedule playback/recording time slots.
When you insert the USB memory stick, the “Autoplay001.ts” file will be played automatically and continuously (unless previously modified by means of MD HD Soft) hosted on the USB memory.
If there are other files “Autoplay001.ts”, “Autoplay002.ts”… shall be reproduced consecutively.

Ek Converter

The recording and playback of files is done primarily over the HDMI A input. Make sure that your TV is tuned on this service to view these files.
