[XDS-1060/1062/1068/1078, MBR-1100, XMP-6200/6250/6400/7300 series]

1. Player configuration : player must set to rotate (90 degree or 270 degree) in player's display setting first

2. Content preparation : 

Video content 

The hardware restricts video display at no larger 1920 width x 1080 height(*) , if you play a portrait mode video at 1080 x 1920, the height is 1920 which far exceeds 1080 height limitation, so a video re-encode process is needed. 

    Please use ffmpeg(**) to rotate the video and add metadata:

ffmpeg -i 1920x1080.mp4 -vf "transpose=2" -b 10000k -acodec copy -metadata:s:v:0 "rotate=90" 1080x1920.mp4

In this way, although the video is 1920x1080, the player will automatically rotate it to 1080x1920 when playing it.

* 720x1280 video must also be rotated as 1280 height exceeds 1080 height limitation as well.
