Video brochure module

Selecting the screen depends on the brochure's physical dimensions and the content quality. Common sizes range from 2.4 to 10.1 inches. For premium marketing, prioritize IPS screens which offer wider viewing angles and better color reproduction. Ensure the resolution matches the aspect ratio; for instance, a 7-inch screen typically requires 1024x600 HD resolution to ensure text and graphics remain sharp and professional.

Standard modules come with a 128MB to 256MB memory, suitable for a 5-10 minute video. If you have high-definition or multiple videos, upgrade to 1GB or 2GB. For battery life, ensure the Lithium polymer battery capacity (measured in mAh) supports at least 90-120 minutes of continuous playback. Always verify that the module includes a Micro-USB or USB-C port for both charging and data transfer.

The most common trigger is the magnetic induction switch, which plays the video automatically when the brochure is opened. For more complex interactions, you can request multiple buttons (up to 10) for volume control, play/pause, or selecting different video chapters. For retail displays, a PIR motion sensor might be more effective than a magnetic switch to capture the attention of passersby.

Since these modules contain lithium batteries and electronic circuits, they must meet specific safety standards. Ensure the supplier provides CE, RoHS, and FCC certifications. Crucially, for air freight, the batteries must have a UN38.3 test report and MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) to comply with international transport regulations for hazardous goods.

Request a Grade A screen guarantee in your contract. Before shipping, ask the supplier for a video inspection of the batch or hire a third-party inspector to perform a pixel check and functional test on a randomized sample (AQL 2.5/4.0 standard). Using a secure platform like Made-in-China.com can provide additional payment protection until the goods are verified.

Suppliers often have a Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) of 50-100 units for custom modules. To get better pricing, negotiate based on annual volume rather than a single order. Ask for free pre-loading of video content and customized button layouts as part of the package. Always request a pre-production sample to verify the speaker quality and screen brightness before the full production run.

Shipping electronics with built-in batteries is restricted by many couriers. Use specialized electronics forwarders who are experienced in 'Battery-in' shipping. For the US and EU, ensure the HS Code (typically 8521.90) is correctly declared to avoid customs delays. Be aware of Import Duties and VAT, and consider DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) terms if you want the supplier to handle all tax and clearance complexities.

Never send full payments via unprotected wire transfers to unknown accounts. Utilize the secured payment services on Made-in-China.com to ensure funds are only released after shipment. Verify the supplier's Business License and Audit Reports on the platform to ensure they are a legitimate manufacturer and not a middleman with no quality control.
