| $70 bluray player and disc is probably the most idiot proof since it's the same as DVD. USB sticks in TVs work but far trickier to get them to work and things like fast forward, rewind etc. don't work nearly as well. Sharp is using my IMAX film's trailer for demo material in their stores and they are using blu-rays for that. stephen van vuuren 336.202.4777 http://www.insaturnsrings.com/ http://www.sv2dcp.com/ http://www.sv2studios.com/ A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later. -Stanley Kubrick -----Original Message----- From: After Effects Mail List [mailto:AE-List@media-motion.tv] On Behalf Of Jim Curtis Sent: Monday, March 24, 2014 4:44 PM To: After Effects Mail List Subject: [AE] playout system recs I'm getting ready to prep graphics for a video that's going to play in big-box retail stores, and client has asked for recommendations for playout hardware. I'm behind on that kind of thing, but I'm thinking that a DVD player and a DVD set to loop is the cheapest option. But, I really don't want to do standard def graphics. The video is being shot in 1080. Is there a standalone HD player that doesn't require a computer that's idiot-proof like a DVD player that I can suggest to my clients? Something that I can load an H264 or other format onto, and they just hook it up to a TV and press play? Some HDTVs have a USB port, and my research shows that some will allow you to play video from them. That might be ideal. But, maybe some of you can offer your thoughts on our options.
