Today I received a package from Avaya. It contained some marketing material for Avaya flair. Inside was what is called "video in print". Google it if you want more information. Simply put its a video screen inside of some printed material. I was curious what made this thing work. So I figured I would rip it apart and try to hack it.
This is what it looks like new:
I open the tabs and the video starts:
Remove the back cover to expose the switch. This starts the video:
Carefully place the switch aside and remove the back cover:
Now I removed all the cardboard, that exposed the electronics. As you can see there are 3 buttons and a USB port. When you plug the USB port into your PC, it asks for the password. The password is 1 2 3. Now you have access to the files via your PC. There is a file called AV0.avi. Replace that with another avi file and you can put your own videos on this device.
After uploading one of my own avi video's it didn't work. After a quick Google search, I found link
Here is the important part:
you can see that the video files are AVI containers encoded with XviD and mp3 at 320×240 and 25 fps and ~1500 kbps bitrate.
The audio is 44100 sampling, 2 chan, 128 kbps bitrate.
Install XviD codec and use SUPER to encode into this.
Just rename the files to overwrite the .avi files on the media player.
