freeFree Technical Resource

This content is free to read, suitable for basic learning and search traffic.

Convert any video file into an MP4 format that can be played by HMI. If the format is incorrect, the screen will go black directly or display an error. If this step is not done properly, all subsequent video playback controls will be useless.

Transcoding three-in-one set:① Resolution should not exceed 1280×768; ② Encoding must be H.264 (not H.265/VP9); ③ Bitrate should be reduced to below 1400. If the source file is in 4K, it should be scaled down to 720P before transcoding, otherwise the screen may not be able to support it.
