Compute Stick is a portable PC thats great for signage. Here's some instructions for setting up a video to autoplay MP4 off a usb stick on the digital signage screens on level one of the edge( or any other HDMI equiped screen for that matter) 


  * Put your mp4 file inside a folder named "file" on your usb stick
  * Plug the compute stick into the HDMI 2 port on the screen and select this port as the input for the screen 
  * plug in 5v power supply
  * Compute stick should fire up, and as long as the compute stick has the right bat file installed,  it should auto play your mp4 file. 

If it doesn't 
  * go to the Bat file in c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\windows\start menu\Programs\StartUp  and  make sure that this autoplayscript is picking up from the usb stick 

"C:\ProgramFiles\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" d:\file\ --fullscreen
