MediaStation is SPEA's easy-to-use control software to playback MPEG 11 (*.MPG), *.VPG, *.AVI and VideoCD *.DAT files under Windows. The TV's remote control can be used to select and playback files or films (e.g. VideoCDs), program and save film sequences, modify the volume, colours and display size.When you click on the MediaStation icon in the SPEA program group, the remote control appears on the screen. Click on the power button on the top left side of the remote control to switch on the TV window on the screen.
The functions on the remote control correspond to the ones of a real TV's remote control.
If you click on the two arrows (marked with a square in the image below) a track bar will be added to the right side of the remote control. This tack bar contains a slider to move quickly within a video and a display area for time or frames.
Via MediaStation's online help you can obtain additional information about all the buttons and dialogue boxes of MediaStation. Just click on the 'lifebelt' on the remote control. If you have problems playing back files please refer to the Troubleshooting section at the end of this manual.
Important Notes:
You can replay Video CD's labelled with 'Video CD' only. Other CD's can not be replayed.
1. Handle VideoCDs with great care. Due to the nature of the data they contain, they are much more sensitive to surface damage than ordinary music CDs.
2. Standard MPEG 1 and AVI files can be played back with MediaStation, however, check your README file for information on the current support status!
3. You must be using either a HighColor (65.536 colors) or TrueColor (16.7 million colors) mode to playback MPEG and AVI files. To make sure this is the case, click on the V7SETUP icon in the SPEA group and select an according mode.
We've kept the following descriptions very brief as we intend to integrate multimedia features as they come onto the market. Check your README file and the MediaStation online help for the latest information on file playback and recording.
