Can one of you please tell me how I can play gif animations on my Galaxy 3500 I have sold and installed about thirty of these units and all my customers want to play gifs on their units.
James, thanks for the question. You can find 3rd party programs online that allow you to convert animated gifs to uncompressed avi. One free program that we use sometimes is called Virtual Dub. You can search our knowledge base at http://www.daktronics.com/support, for DD2782221 “How do you convert an animated Gif to work in Venus 1500 v4?” for full instructions. Hope this helps!
