1. Video Source feed into D90322. D9032 joins and streams to multicast

group in multicast network3. DMM Publishes Multicast Application

or URL of a HTML page with multicast video configured in a zone from optional webserver to DMP (Interactions 4&5 will be skipped if not using webserver)

4. Optional: DMP requests HTML page with multicast configured from webserver

5. Optional: Webserver serves HTML page to DMP

6. DMP sends IGMP join request to multicast group

7. Multicast network joins DMP and streams multicast video to DMP

8. DMP displays multicast video within a zone using HTML page or full screen video without using HTML page.

Multicast Enabled Network

Scientific-Atlanta D9032 Encoder For live broadcasting of high quality MPEG-2 video to the Digital Media

Player, using limited bandwidth

1 RU, single channel, low power-consumption, stackable

Composite input (for cable feed) and SDI input

Supports constant or variable bit rate (CBR or VBR)

Front panel LCD and web interface for encoder control

Supports SNMP

Order through Scientific-Atlanta (instructions on DMSBU web site)


Live Broadcast Set Up Process

1. D9032 physical connections to video source and IP network

2. SA D9032 encoder multicast configuration

3. Verifying D9032 configuration using VLC

4. Testing broadcast/multicast using DMPDM

5. DMM--Multicast configuration

5.1. Creating a full screen design for a multicast stream

5.2. Adding a multicast stream to the design

5.3. Saving the presentation

5.4. Deploying new design with multicast stream


Step 1: D9032 Physical Connections to Video Source and IP Network

1. Connect composite video (yellow) on the video source (video camera, DVD/VCR or cable box) to composite video input on D9032

2. Connect one end of RCA audio cables to video source’s audio output connectors (white & red)

3. Cutoff RCA connector on other end of RCA audio cable and strip the wires

4. Plug the green audio connector that comes separate along with D9032 to the “Analog Audio In 1 & 2” port on D9032

5. Connect stripped wires for left channel (white) to D9032 audio green connector to holes 1 and 2

6. Connect stripped wires for right channel (red) to D9032 audio green connector to holes 3 and 4

7. Connect D9032’s MANAGEMENT and IP TS OUT ethernet ports to network

8. Configure D9032’s Management IP Address and gateway though front panel (follow page 1-3 of D9032 Encoder User and Service Manual)

9. Access D9032 Web management interface using IP Address configured for Management (http://<ip address>) (follow page 1-4 of D9032 Encoder User and Service Manual)

D9032 Analog Audio Port

Note : if you have an orange digital feed off of your source you can use in in the BNC digital input on the 9022/9032.


Step 2: SA D9032 Encoder Configuration Click Video->Encoder Rate

Configure Video Encoder Rate in Fixed Video Rate box with desired bit rate (example below shows 4.5Mbps)


Step 2: SA D9032 Encoder Configuration Click VBI->VBI

Configure Video Source by selecting “Composite” radio button


Step 2: SA D9032 Encoder Configuration Click TS Output->TS Output

Configure Transport Stream Output Bit Rate box with a value higher then Video Encoder Rate (example here shows 5Mpbs for Output Bit Rate and Video Encoder Rate was 4.5Mbps)

Leave Output Format default at 188


Step 2: SA D9032 Encoder Configuration Configure IP Streaming Multicast address and port in IP and Port

Number boxes and leave other default settings

Please note: MAC address is optional when using multicast


Step 3: Verifying D9032 Configuration Using VLC

Test multicast stream from D9032 to ensure correct configuration on D9032

Download, check system requirement for VLC and install VLC from here: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

Start VLC

Click Open Network stream (Ctrl+N)

http://www.videolan.org/vlc/




Step 3: Verifying D9032 Configuration Using VLC Click UDP/RTP Multicast radio button

Configure multicast IP Address and Port number configured on D9032 (example in this document: multicast address 239.2.2.2 and port number 10000)

Click “OK” and video window should start playing video


Step 3: Verifying D9032 Configuration Using VLC

Multicast video streaming from D9032 displaying on VLC


Step 4: Testing Multicast Using DMPDM

Open Digital Media Player Device Manager (DMPDM)

Click Display Actions->Video Multicast

Configure Multicast Address and Multicast Port configured on D9032 (example in this document: multicast address 239.2.2.2 and port number 10000)

Click Start

Display should play full screen video from video source

*Please note: This configuration will not be saved in the DMP


Step 4: Testing Broadcast Using DMPDM Screen shot of sample configuration on DMPDM


Step 4: Testing Multicast Using DMPDM Multicast video streaming from D9032 displaying from DMP output on

display


Step 5: DMM Multicast Configuration

Since the introduction of version 4.1, in order to show a full screen video—multicast or unicast—a design must be created

The Digital Media Designer tool allows you to easily create more advanced layouts to use on the screens beyond a full screen video


Step 5.1: Creating a DesignInside the Digital Signage Module, go to the Digital Signage->Presentations, and open the Digital Media Designer tool by clicking “Create Presentation.”


Step 5.1: Creating a DesignFrom the Objects/Actions panel, drag and drop a Video Playlist on to the screen. Then right Click and choose “Whole Screen”. Move your pointer down toward the bottom right side of the screen and click on the green Plus Sign.


5.2 Adding a Multicast AddressUnder the Content Chooser Dialog, choose URL. Name your multicast stream and fill the URL field with the multicast address in the URL as follows: udp://MULTICAST-IP:PORT, i.e udp://239.2.2.2:10000. Add the stream by clicking on the down arrow. And click on submit to finish.


5.2 Adding a Multicast AddressOnce submitting the Content Chooser Dialog screen, the new stream will appear in the Playlist items and in the Video Playlist of the Workspace.


5.3 Saving the PresentationFrom the menu bar click on File --> Save. Provide a Name and select on the “Presentation” radio button, and click OK.


5.4 Deploying the New Multicast DesignGo back to DMM and click Schedules->Play Now. Open the “Select an Event Type” drop down menu, choose the Presentation and click “Select Presentation” button. In the pop-up window, select the multicast presentation and click “OK.”


5.4 Deploying the New Multicast DesignOnce the presenation is selected, select the DMP in the main window by clicking on the DMP. Then, click “Submit.”


5.4 Deploying the New Multicast Design The Multicast video streaming from D9032/9022 should be

displaying from DMP output on the display
