Content can be uploaded and managed through the following methods:

• LedArt Mobile App: Connect your smartphone or tablet to the player's Wi-Fi hotspot or the same local network to upload content, create playlists, and configure settings.
• XiaoHui Cloud Platform: For remote management and large-scale deployments, use the cloud platform to publish content, monitor device status, and update firmware over the internet.
• USB Drive: Directly transfer content files to the player via a USB drive.

3.3 Video Playback

The HD-A4L supports a wide range of video formats and advanced playback features:

• Supported Formats: MP4, AVI, MOV, MKV, and others.
