Introduction to MagicInfo Pro

 What is Samsung MagicInfo Pro?

 Samsung MagicInfo Pro is a software and hardware system within specialized
network compatible LCD monitors, allowing transmission of media and office
files across a standard Ethernet local area networks, from a computer with
installed MagicInfo Pro software.
 MagicInfo Pro consists of two parts:
 The MagicInfo Pro software built into the Samsung LCD display

 The MagicInfo Pro Network

 Samsung MagicInfo Pro relies on an Ethernet based Local Area Connection

(LAN) network to transmit and receive data. The display can be connected
in several ways, explained in the following slides:
 Display and Server PC connected to an existing network.
 Display and Server PC connected directly.
 Multiple displays connected to a network with a single server PC.
 Multiple displays, and multiple server PCs connected together.
 Multiple systems connected into a larger network via WAN.

 The display can be connected to an existing LAN, via Ethernet cables. This
will typically involve plugging a cable that connects to a hub, switch, or
router into the display’s network port, and another cable to the server PC’s
network port, as illustrated below.

 The MagicInfo Pro Network

 The display can be connected directly to a server PC, using a specific kind
of Ethernet cable, called a “crossover cable” this will allow the server PC to
“talk” directly to the MagicInfo Pro display, without any other network
equipment or computers in between.
 Note: A crossover cable is NOT a standard network cable. Using a standard cable will not
connect the two devices. A crossover cable is built differently, internally wired specifically to
let two networked devices “talk”. If you connect the display and server PC directly with a
standard network cable, they will not think they are connected at all.

 Several MagicInfo Pro equipped

monitors can be connected to a single MagicInfo

computer via a LAN, as we have MagicInfo MagicInfo
previously discussed, and files can be Pro Client 1 Pro Client 3
transmitted to any monitor over the
local area network. You connect the
displays and server PC to the network LAN
as you would if you had only one
display in the system, and the
MagicInfo Pro software will identify
and allow you to address multiple
displays. MagicInfo

 You can also connect more than one server PC to your MagicInfo Pro
system. The displays and server PCs connect to the network as previously
discussed. When there is more than one “server” (source computer with
MagicInfo Pro software on the network), the display can be directed to
download it’s content from a specific server, and receive a schedule from
that server PC.

 MagicInfo Pro also offers the ability to control multiple MagicInfo systems
from a single point, and tie them together into one larger MagicInfo network
across multiple sites. This requires the use of an intermediate “Content
Server” at each site, with the master MagicInfo Pro server issuing all
control, scheduling, and content. This can be done via a simple Internet
connection provided to all sites.

 MagicInfo Pro Content
 Samsung MagicInfo Pro is designed to
allow the user to show files from the
connected MagicInfo Pro server PC
onto the MagicInfo Pro display.
 MagicInfo Pro allows the use of several
types of files:
 Photos and Image files
 Music (audio) files
 Movie (video) files
 Office/HTML files
 Adobe Flash and PDF files
 MagicInfo Pro also offers the user a
web browser for Internet access when
the display is connected to a network
with an active Internet connection.
 MagicInfo Pro Content

 Sources for MagicInfo Pro Content:

 Photo (image) Files
 Typically, these files are photos taken from digital
cameras, scanned materials, computer generated
graphics, images saved from the Internet, etc.
 Music (audio) Files
 Music or sound files can be captured from a CD,
recorded by a PC, or downloaded from online resources
like Apple’s iTunes music store.
 Movie (video) Files
 Movie or video files are usually video clips captured from
DVD or TV sources, or video produced specifically for
computer use.
 Office/HTML/Flash Files
 MagicInfo Pro can view files produced from Microsoft’s
Office suite of programs (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint)
as well as viewing saved HTML and Flash files from the
Internet. MagicInfo Pro can also view documents created
with Adobe’s Acrobat program.
 MagicInfo Pro Content

• Samsung MagicInfo Pro supports many

file formats:
• Movie (video):
• MagicInfo Pro supports MPEG-1 and 2
video file formats, and WMV video files.
• Photo (images):
• MagicInfo Pro supports both the JPEG and
BMP image file formats, as long as the
resolution does not exceed 3500x2625.
The digital camera EXIF file format is not
supported, unless it is input from a
Samsung digital camera.
• Music (audio):
• MagicInfo Pro supports only the MP3 file
format.
• Office/HTML/Flash:
• MagicInfo Pro supports Microsoft Office
Word, Excel, and PowerPoint formats, as
well as HTML and Adobe Acrobat PDF and
Flash files. A reader must be installed
before using these features.
 MagicInfo Pro Content

• Additional codecs and readers may be

required for certain video, audio, and
office file types.
• These codecs and readers may be
installed on the MagicInfo Pro display as
needed, in the same manner as they
would be installed on a PC.
• Examples:
• To play a DIVX based video file, the
user would need to install the proper
DIVX codec on the display prior to use.
• To view an Adobe Acrobat PDF
document, the user would need to
download and install the Adobe
Acrobat Reader software.
 MagicInfo Pro Server Software

 MagicInfo Pro Server Software

 The MagicInfo Pro software must
be installed on a PC connected to
the same network as the MagicInfo
Pro display, or connected directly
to the MagicInfo Pro display, as
previously discussed.
 The MagicInfo Pro software allows
the user to “register” a library of
files for use by the MagicInfo Pro
display.
 The software also allows the user
to schedule content to be viewed
on the MagicInfo Pro display. MagicInfo Pro Server Software
 Using the MagicInfo Pro software,
a user can control the connected
MagicInfo Pro display.
 MagicInfo Pro Server Software

 The MagicInfo Pro server software content system is based around the
concept of templates or “screens”. Each piece of scheduled content, or
combination of pieces, must be assembled into a template file. This file is
what tells the display what content is displayed, and how it is laid out.
 MagicInfo Pro Server Software

 MagicInfo Pro’s template creator allows you to create boxes for photos,
videos, Flash files, websites, text scrolls, and external video sources.
 These boxes can have numerous special effects applied, as well as animations.
 Photo boxes can be assigned as slide shows.
 A single box can be assigned to play audio for that template, or a background
audio can be added.
 More sophisticated templates can be created by layering content types.
 MagicInfo Pro Server Software

 Once a template is created, it can be assigned to play on any display, or

combinations of displays, available on the MagicInfo network. These can be
set to run for durations as short as 1 minute, and as long as is desired,
either as a single event, or on a user controlled repeat.
 Content will be “published” out to the network – It is sent to the display for
playback. This sends the template and content to the display, for the
duration of that template’s schedule.
 MagicInfo Pro Server Software

 A template can be saved, and transferred to other MagicInfo servers.

Templates and content can also be saved, and transferred manually to the
display via USB, for local playback without network use.

downloaded and stored permanently on the display to minimize network
traffic.

 DX Series – New DID Panel

 New DX Series Panel Technology

 The new DX series of displays incorporate the DID panel technology in a true
commercial grade panel targeted at the semi outdoor and digital signage display
markets.
 The DID panel introduces a proprietary Samsung heat shield technology that
allows for rapid and complete dissipation of heat, the number 1 enemy of LCD
panel technology.
 This heat dissipation allows for higher brightness, longer use, high reliability
displays.
