BUG FIX, NEW FEATURES, MINOR UPDATES

• Initial version

COMPATIBILITY

• PlugnCast V3.10.51
• Device Gekkota V4.11.10 (or above) supporting Jack 35 GPIO
  • Playzilla V4.10.20 (or above)

INFORMATION

INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION

• In PlugnCast, create a type text variable name (ex: videoSource), whose name has to be also defined in VAR_NAME of the playout script play-video-by-gpio-V1.10.10.js, and create values for this variable
  • Variable value examples
    • VideoA/video.mp4
    • VideoB/video.m2v
• Associate an appropriate value of the variable videoSource to the device
• Create a playout with a nominal content
• Add the required video media to the playout manifest
• Insert the play-video-by-gpio-V1.10.10.js script in the script to execute screen of the Property tab of the playout

• Edit the script play-video-by-gpio-V1.10.10.js and adjust the 2 parameters value of triggerOnEdge and mediaOnState depending on your needs:

  • Typical use case when using a luminosity sensor or a switch:
    • triggerOnEdge = false :
      • mediaOnState = false:
        • on GPIO level 0, the video is played infinitely
        • on GPIO level 1, the nominal playout content is played
        • in case GPIO level bouncing, the played content is following the GPIO level
      • mediaOnState = true:
        • on GPIO level 0, the nominal playout content is played
        • on GPIO level 1, the video is played infinitely
        • in case GPIO level bouncing, the played content is following the GPIO level
  • Typical use case when using a movement sensor or a push-button:
    • triggerOnEdge = true :
      • mediaOnState = false:
        • when there is noone in the room, the nominal playout content is always played
        • on a presence detection [rising edge], the video is played once
      • mediaOnState = true:
        • when there is noone in the room, the nominal playout content is always played
        • on a presence detection [falling edge], the video is played once

• Publish the playout on the device

Note: the video can be played only in the main region of the playout

MOVEMENT SENSOR AND GPIO CONFIGURATION

• Plug the movement sensor on the Jack 35 GPIO of the device with an appropriate connector
• Read and apply the configuration-by-script application note to configure as input the GPIO Jack 35 of the media player
  • For example: setJackGPIO(false, "in", 100000000); // Jack GPIO : Input, Debouncing 100ms
  • The rising and falling edges for detection can be inverted using this same command
