• ID2 is the address for video control. The occupying length is 1 word, also could not be empty. Please refer to below table for more information about controlling addresses.

Function	Address	Description
Play control	0th bit	HDX102.0	Bit for playing control: play the video file when this bit address is triggered
1st bit	HDX102.1	Bit for pause control: pause playing when this bit address is triggered, or resume playing after pause
2nd bit	HDX102.2	Bit for full screen control: maximize the video when this bit address is triggered
3rd bit	HDX102.3	Last video: play the last video when this bit address is triggered.
4th bit	HDX102.4	Next video: play the next video when this bit address is triggered.
5th bit	HDX102.5	Volume increase: increased by 10
6th bit	HDX102.6	Volume decrease: decreased by 10
Mode selection	7th bit	HDX102.7	Once: only play current video file once
8th bit	HDX102.8	Single cycle: repeat to play current video file
