[SOUND OF DRAWING A SWORD]
[THUMP]
[SOUND OF LOCKING]
Hey, DIYers!
I'm Jorge with Alarm Grid.
Today we're going to be demonstrating the slideshow
feature on the Lyric Controller.
So to start off, first thing you'll need
is going to be a USB.
You're going to want to make sure that the USB has preloaded
images onto it.
The images-- you want to make sure
that the file size of each image is 30 megabytes.
The image-- if you want to go ahead and scale it down or fix
the size of it, Honeywell recommends that you
use a 1240 by 600 file size.
And the image also has to be formatted as JPEG,
which is J-P-E-G.
Now, this is a good chance to upload images
of you, your family.
Anything that you'd want to have acting as a slideshow
feature on your Lyric Controller, that's
what you can go ahead and do.
Now the easiest way to go ahead and insert this,
is if you already have the Lyric mounted on the wall,
you're just going to need to crouch underneath the panel.
And there's going to be a USB right off to the center left.
So if I look right here, I just plug it in.
There we go.
So, once you have the USB plugged in,
you now have to go to the master user screen.
I have this Lyric defaulted, so I'm
going to be using my master code, which is 1, 2, 3, 4.
It's the default master code for all Honeywell systems.
I'm going to go ahead and go to Security.
Make your way over to Tools.
Enter in 1, 2, 3, 4.
I'm going to go ahead and hit the right arrow key.
It's a little gray button off to the side.
It takes me to the next page.
And the Slideshow is where I want to be.
Now, right now you're going to see it's empty.
I haven't loaded any images from the USB onto there.
Now, I do have some images on here that are formatted PNG.
That will not show up on here.
Remember, they have to be JPEG--
J-P-E-G only.
So going to go ahead and do the load
images off to the right hand side.
And now this can take a few minutes to load the images.
As you can see, we're probably going to be here for a while,
'cause loading even about--
I think it'll load five images, six images--
that may take a minute or two.
So if you're loading more than six, it may take even longer.
So just be patient with the panel.
And the images, once the screen has stopped,
they will all load by two, yeah?
Now one thing that I noticed when we started the video
was that I had the backlight timeout on,
which I'm going to show you guys how to turn off.
Because right now, when we were testing, when the Lyric--
when the backlight timeout is enabled--
I have it set to 30 seconds.
So after 30 seconds, the screen goes dark.
If you guys have the slideshow feature enabled
to start after 30 seconds, but the screen has already
blacked out, you guys won't see anything because
of the backlight timeout.
So I'm going to disable that in a second
here after we get this done, so we can actually
see the images and the slideshow feature.
So it's still loading.
It should be done any second here.
And again, before you used to be able to load images from Total
Connect directly to the panel.
You would even be able to do that on Links panels.
But since Total Connect has changed,
the only panel now that can do it
is Lyric, since it's the only one that
has the USB port in it.
So, as you can see, it loaded the images by two.
I can hit the down arrow key to scroll through my images.
Yes?
Underneath you have different options.
So the slide interval is how long
you want each light to be on before it goes to the next.
So I have mine set to five seconds.
If you click it, it'll up it to 10, to 15, to 20,
and then back to 5, seconds which is the minimal--
the minimum.
So I'm going to leave it at five.
The slide after-- this is how long after the panel goes idle
you want the slideshow to start.
So I have mine set to 30 seconds,
because I want to show you guys for the video's sake how long--
the actual slideshow feature.
But you can change that--
so if you want it to start after 2 minutes,
10 minutes, 30 minutes, et cetera.
If you disable it, the slideshow feature will not work.
So you want to make sure that you do set a time on this.
I'm going to set mine for 30 seconds.
Now, I accidentally pressed on one of the images.
It actually highlights it yellow.
I don't know if you can see it in the video,
but it has a yellow border.
And you can actually-- let's say you didn't want an image.
You can highlight it and hit Delete.
And that'll delete the images from the loaded images
you took from the USB.
Now, right now I'm going to go ahead and hit Save,
because I want to save my work.
I'm going to hit the back arrow key.
And remember, we have to change that backlight timeout,
or else it will not work.
To do that-- just really quick--
I'm going to go to Tools.
Enter in the installer code.
Default is 4, 1, 1, 2, unless you or your monitoring company
has changed it.
You go to Program, System Settings.
And like I said, I have mine to 30 seconds.
If you set it to No--
and then hit Save.
And back out to the main screen.
Now, after 30 seconds, after the system
has been idle for 30 seconds, the slideshow feature
should start.
The backlight will not timeout, because I just disabled that.
And then we will start seeing all the images
that we loaded from our USB onto there.
Your USB-- if you still have it plugged in,
you can go ahead and unplug it.
You don't need the USB in there the whole time.
You've already loaded the images onto the panel,
so they're actually saved onto the Lyric Controller.
So if you want to upload new images,
plug this right into your computer--
whatever device you have-- and just upload new images to it
if you want to go ahead and do that.
And as you see, the Lyric starts scrolling through.
And in five seconds, it'll switch
to the next image and every other image I
loaded onto there from the USB.
Once you tap on the screen--
tap on the screen-- there you go--
it brings you back to the main page.
And again, this is just a quick video on how--
and a quick demonstration, actually--
on how to upload images to your Lyric panel
and use the slideshow feature.
