Ad hoc presenting films in meetings or at trade shows

With modern smart TVs nowadays it is easy to use films as a fast and effective source of information during meetings. Or use films as a continuous loop on a fair booth for your presentation.

Smart TV for film presentations

Smart TVs have integrated video players, with which you can easily play video files, for example, online via network or via USB stick.
Even smart computers are integrated with a web browser for surfing in the modern appliances. The TV however must be properly contected and configured via the network or via Wi-Fi to make an online connection.
The simplest solution is playing videos with a USB flash drive. The video is available as a file and can not suddenly stop during the presentation, which might occur when you playback an online stream.

Back of the Smart TV with USB ports.
Current smart TVs have a USB port. Here USB flash drives can be connected, on which commercials or explanatory films can be stored and presented during a presentation.

Don’t think too complicated!

You save a video file on a USB flash drive and plug it into the USB port of your smart TV and you can quickly and easily show your film.

We recommend video files in H.264 video format with the following settings:

Video resolution1920×1080 FullHD (FHD)
Video codecH.264 Bitrate 6 bis 8 MBit per sec
Container.mp4
AudioAAC, 320kBit per sec, 48kHz, stereo

The devices are capable of playing other formats [1] such as, WMV or MPEG2. Meanwhile, the H.264 format is clearly the favorite in terms of quality and compatibility. You can access the USB stick with the remote control by selecting the stick is as the source.

Advantages TV and USB flash drive

You do not need an external player (Blu-Ray, DVD) or other accessories to show films quickly and effectively. A 32-inch Smart TV (or greater) and a USB flash drive with video files on it is enough and you’re ready. And for the audio you don’t need additional expenses, because this comes from the built-in TV speakers as needed. This means that you only need one power cable for operation and you can also very quickly remove the display after the presentation as needed.

The selecting the files and controling the playback is done with the TV remote control. At a trade show you just use the repeat function and allow individual videos to run as a continuous loop.
