How to Complete a Manual Upgrade
You can upgrade your Adtec device's firmware via built-in web-based application, described in the Upgrade Tab section, or via a Telnet/FTP session, described in this article. To update your Adtec device 's firmware via a Telnet session, perform the following:
Manual Upgrade Process
Step Action
1 Obtain the desired firmware version file from Adtec Support website via
www.adtecdigital.com note*: Firmware releases are found in the Support -> Documentation & Downloads
-> DPI 1200 Ad Server -> section of the website, there will be a link to the released firmware version for download. note**: Windows Internet Explorer renames adtec firmware file extensions to .gz . When saving please add a t within the extension to read .tgz if IE has renamed your file.
2 Using your favorite FTP client to upload the firmware file to the device.
If you are unfamiliar with FTP you may use a 'My Computer' window and type in the address bar, ftp://adtec:none@192.168.10.48 where 192.168.10.48 should be replaced with the IP Address of YOUR device. You may then drag and drop the
Page 27
firmware file into the hd0 folder.
3 Open a Telnet session and enter the IP address of the unit you are going to update.
note*: If you are unfamiliar with telnet, open a command prompt window (windows: start -> run.., mac: macintosh hd -> applications -> utilities -> terminal) and type: telnet 192.168.10.48
4 Enter the username as ' adtec ' and the password as ' none '.
5 *.sysd vrn search - from the results, look for the pathname of recently uploaded
firmware file
6 *.sysd vrn install [pathname of the .tgz file]
ex: *.sysd version install /media/hd0/DPI-v1.04.05.nfcms.tgz
How to Connect via Telnet
* Using Telnet (standard 23 port)* To connect to your device using a terminal session, you will need to set the IP address of the unit. See earlier instructions on setting the IP via the front panel. Using a terminal window, complete the following:
Step Action
1 Type 'telnet x.x.x.x' in a terminal window, without quotes, where x.x.x.x is the IP
address of the unit.
2 Press <Enter>.
3 When prompted for a username, enter adtec.
4 When prompted for a password, enter none.
Once you see "User 'adtec' connected", the session is open and you may issue API commands to the unit.
Page 28
For the DPI-1200 device, there are specific commands for the DPI Channels and the unit's operating system. Each has a unique way of accepting commands. If using telnet is your preferred method of communication to your device, familiarize yourself with the API commands and their respective command handlers. For more information on this, point your browser to the IPA of your unit and look through the API notes that are described for the device.
How to Connect via FTP
FTP connections can be made to the adtec device using any ftp client. Host: <ipa of the unit> Default Username: adtec Default Password: none Port: 21 FTP is only useful for collecting logs from the device.
Media Encoding Guidelines
All media used for insertion should conform to SCTE guidelines for DPI insertion. The encoded material should be in a transport stream format at a constant bit rate. All audio should be encoded to match that of the insert stream.
How to Use API Commands
Page 29
The Adtec DPI-1200 device is unique in that it handles up-to twelve different streaming channels for Ad Splicing. To accommodate commands for controlling each channel, you will need to specify which channel you are working with for each command you issue. Please make the following adjustments:
Instead of using *.dpid as noted the API descriptions, you will need to use.
*.dpid CLN 0 to specify the first channel. *.dpid CLN 1 to specify the second channel. *.dpid CLN 2 to specify the third channel.
Example: (*.dpid CLN 3) will give you the channel name of the third channel.
Most of the operational features of the Adtec DPI-1200 Ad Server can be controlled via telnet using Adtec's API commands. A reference of the API commands applicable to the DPI-1200 can be found on our website or on the Help Tab of the Web UI and select the API Notes Link.
Setting Time Zone and Daylight Savings
This allows the user to properly configure or view the Timezone offset and Daylight Savings time changes for the DPI-1200 Ad Server in an API telnet command window. Instructions on connecting to the DPI with telnet can be found in the How-To Guides. The API Command TIMEZONE has three different argument options [std] offset [daylight savings rule] where the std and Daylight savings rule are optional. The form of the command TIMEZONE and argument explanation is as follows:
Command Handler: SYSD Command: TIMEZONE | TIZ | TZ Arguments:
std Name of the Time Zone offset Hours offset from UTC (coordinated universal time) dst Daylight Savings Setting
To configure only the time zone offset, you will use the following example:
*.SYSD TIZ -5 This sets the units’ offset to -5 from UTC To configure the units’ time zone offset with a label for the offset, you will use the following example:
*.SYSD TIZ EST-5 This sets the units’ offset to -5 from UTC and labels the setting as Eastern Standard Time
Format to add Daylight Savings Time:
Page 30
Std offset dst [offset],start[/time],end[time] The initial std and offset specify the standard time zone, as described above, the remainder of the specification describes when Daylight Saving Time is in effect. The start field is when Daylight Saving Time goes into effect and the end field is when the change is made back to standard time. The format of the start / end fields are formatted as: Mm.w.d. This specifies day (d) of week (w) of month (m). The day d must be between 0 (Sunday) and 6. The week w must be between 1 and 5; week 1 is the first week in which day d occurs, and week 5 specifies the last d day in the month. The month m should be between 1 and 12. The time fields specify when, in the local time currently in effect, the change to the other time occurs. An example, here is how you would specify the Eastern time zone in the United States, including the appropriate Daylight Saving Time and its dates of applicability. The normal offset from UTC is -5 hours; since this is west of the prime meridian, the sign is negative. Summer time begins on the first Sunday in April at 2:00am, and ends on the last Sunday in October at 2:00am:
*.SYSD EST-5EDT,M4.1.0/2,M10.5.0/2
In 2007, the times for changing Daylight savings time in the US changed to:
EST-5EDT,M3.2.0/2,M11.1.0/2
Chapter 5 - System Integration Application Notes
This section contains various how to guides that will assist you in the configuration and integration of your unit to operate as part of your over all distribution system. These procedures are based on firmware version 1.04.03. When the DPI-1200 is powered up, the front panel will display “System Banner – DPI 1200 V1.04.03”.
There has been every effort to ensure the accuracy of the information provided in these guides. However, due to software, firmware and hardware changes, there may be some degree of difference between what is represented here and what is displayed on your equipment.
Splicer Setup and Configuration
Page 31
The DPI-1200 Ad Server works in conjunction with a various network splicers for seamless commercial insertion. Those include, but are not limited to: Motorola CherryPicker (DM3200 or DM6400), RGB’s BNPxr, BNP2xr, BNP3xr, Cisco DCM and Scopus IVG 7500. (Adtec Digital does not endorse particular product) This section provides a guide on the general setup and configuration of some of these splicers
Motorola DM6400 Network CherryPicker
Screen and guide samples are taken from DM 6400 Version: netcp5.0.1 (Build 18)
Licensing
When using the DPI-1200 in conjunction with a Motorola CherryPicker, you will need a license for each channel desired for insertion. Appropriate licenses will need to be purchased from your Terayon sales representative or reseller. To check the DM to make sure it has the needed ad insertion license keys, you will need to log into the web interface and select Accounts from the top menu bar.
This page will have a section with the heading Product Licenses. If you do not see a line item called Ad Insertion, MPEG-2 Ad Insertion or MPEG-4 AVC Ad Insertion or the existing license has already expired, you will need to contact Motorola or your distributor for licensing service. Because each license key is linked to a specific Data Flash, you will need to look up the serial number for the Data Flash in your DM CherryPicker. (Illustration below)
Time Sync
Per SCTE30 protocol, Time synchronization is required due to the passing of time between the Server and the Splicer. The delay on a TCP/IP message is somewhat unpredictable and is affected by other machines on the network. By having the machines synchronized, time can be passed between the two machines without concern for normal network delays keeping the splicing very accurate. The time synchronization system must be able to keep the Splicer and Server within +/- 15 ms of each other.
One possible method is to use Network Time Protocol (NTP) to keep the Server and the Splicer in synchronization. A network common host system NTP server could be used since this will also typically exist in a cable headend that has a network infrastructure. The DPI-
Page 32
1200 can be used as an NTP server if an NTP network is not available. Please refer to the NTP Menu options under the System Menu description in Chapter 3 and additional time configurations later in this chapter.
To configure the DM CherryPicker to time sync from the DPI-1200, select Configure from the DM Network CherryPicker Desktop menu bar.
Select the Controller from the configuration tree. The controller information displays on the right side of the screen along with the NTP Configuration options. (illustrated figure below)
Note: NTP sync may take up to 30 minutes to be effective
Configuring the splicer for ad grooming Note: Terayon does not support ad insertion on loopback input modules. (source DM
Network CherryPicker 4.0 User Guide 2004)
Physical Connections ASI - Connection of the DPI-1200 Ad Server will need to occur on one of the four inputs of
a DVB-ASI Input Module on the back of the CherryPicker using a coaxial cable with BNC
connectors. See illustration below:
Back Labeling diagram of port / slot configuration:
Page 33
The coax cable, from the DPI, will connect to a port (1-4 illustrated below). If the connection is recognized, the corresponding LED with the same number will light up Green.
4 port DVB-ASI Input Module
IP - Connection of the DPI-1200 will need to be on the same IP Ingest Network as any
other IP Input Stream going to the DM6400. A standard GigE Ethernet Cable will be used.
Note: Please note all physical connections and their labels. This information is needed to configure the DPI properly to work with the attached splicer.
Grooming your ads into the channel
Once you have properly configured your splicer with all of the channels you are wanting to output and the DPI has been configured with the proper IP and channel information matching that of the splicer, the corresponding output program will have [Ad Server Connected] attached to the output name. (illustration below)

Licensing
Page 34
When using the DPI-1200 in conjunction with a RGB BNP, you may need grooming with DPI license key(s) depending on your application. Appropriate licenses will need to be purchased from your RGB sales representative or reseller. To check the BNP to make sure it has the needed license keys, you will need to log into the BNP Element Manager web interface and select Maintenance > License from the top menu. (illustrated window below)
Time Sync
Per SCTE30 protocol, Time synchronization is required due to the passing of time between the Server and the Splicer. The delay on a TCP/IP message is somewhat unpredictable and is affected by other machines on the network. By having the machines synchronized, time can be passed between the two machines without concern for normal network delays keeping the splicing very accurate. The time synchronization system must be able to keep the Splicer and Server within +/- 15 ms of each other.
One possible method is to use Network Time Protocol (NTP) to keep the Server and the Splicer in synchronization. A network common host system NTP server could be used since this will also typically exist in a cable headend that has a network infrastructure. The DPI­1200 can be used as an NTP server if an NTP network is not available. Please refer to the NTP Menu options under the System Menu description in Chapter 3 and additional time configurations later in this chapter.
To configure the RGB BNP to time sync from the DPI-1200, select the Configuration Tab from the BNP Element Manager window, and select the Global subtab. (Illustrated below) Set the NTP Address 1 to that of the NTP Server or the connected DPI-1200 Ad Server.
Note: You must have the NTP Server or DPI up and running prior to booting the BNP.
Page 35
Configuring the splicer for ad grooming Physical Connections ASI - Connection of the DPI-1200 Ad Server will need to occur on one of the six ports
available using a coaxial cable with BNC connectors. The number of ASI ports in your BNP chassis depends on the number of ASI cards that are installed. Up to three ASI cards can be installed, each with six ports. See illustrated example below:
The coax cable will connect to one of the available ASI port connections on an available card. If the connection is good, the corresponding LED with the same number will light up Green next to the port with the corresponding port number.
IP - Connection of the DPI-1200 will need to be on the same IP Ingest Network as any other IP Input Stream going to the RGB BNP or attached directly to the IP Input Card (Typically Labeled E) using an SFP Optical Module Adapter. A standard GigE Ethernet Cable will be used. If the connection is good, the corresponding LED with the same number will light up Green next to the port with the corresponding port number.
Note: Please note all physical connections and their labels. This information is needed to configure the DPI properly to work with the attached splicer.
Page 36
Note: The attached ASI and/or Ethernet port will need to be configured for proper data flow direction. This is set from the Element Manager by selecting the Configuration Tab then
ASI or GigE Ports subtab. (Following illustration)
Grooming your ads into the channel
Once you have properly configured your splicer with all of the channels you are wanting to output and the DPI has been configured with the proper IP and channel information matching that of the splicer, the image icon associated with your program contained in your output transport stream will change. The new icon will have an arrow pointing toward the program name. (illustration below)

Chapter 6 - Scheduling
Scheduling the DPI
"Schedule” in the CCMS format (.sch) is required disregarding the types of triggering methods such as analog DTMF cueTone, GPI/GPO, Sched. Time, manual and digital cueTone – SCTE35 (detected by the Splicer). Similar to the analog Ad Insertion system, Duet – DPI­1200 provides NO play-spot command. The action to achieve a function similar to 'play-spot' is to trigger an event manually. The content being played is according to the pre­programmed CCMS schedule.
Schedules, verifications, commercial media files, etc… are stored in separate directories in the operating system.
Helpful system directory paths
Directory Pathway Notes
Media Directory /media/hd0/media/ Location for all media to be inserted
Schedule Directory /media/hd0/schins/ Location for all schedule files to be used
Verification Directory /media/hd0/verins/ Location for all verification files
Log Directory /media/hd0/log/ Location for all system log files
CCMS Schedule Reference
A schedule file exists for each channel of insertion. The file name will always be eight characters in length plus the three character extension of SCH.

CCMS Scheduling using adManage
Please refer to adManage TM Manual. It can be downloaded from the Support Section of our web page at: www.adtedigital.com
Configure each channel's scheduling identifier, load schedules and media. At this point, you will need to use the "API" interface to perform configuration.
Page 42
Using telnet to the "API" port 23, connect and log in.
To test the connection, type "*<Enter>" and you should see a "0"
returned.
The channel-headend scheduling identifier is used to map this channel to one in your traffic system. It should be in the form CCHHH, where CC is the channel identifier from 00-99 and HHH is the headend identifier from 000-999.
Type the command " *.dpid cnv c <index> <CCHHH> " where index is the (zero-
based) channel index (0-11).
The default configuration for channel 1 is "01001".
To change this to channel 36 for headend 3, the command would be *.dpid cnv c 0
36003
The response should be "OK".
Enter the command again without the CCHHH value to query the setting, so " *.dpid
cnv c 0 " should reply "OK".
Native Mode ID: 0 36003
After configuring the scheduling identifier, the scheduler will automatically load the schedule from the schedule directory (/media/hd0/schins) when it is available. The name of the schedule should be in the format MDDCCHHH.SCH, where m is a single letter representing the month (1-9, A, B, C), dd is the day of the month (00-31), and CCHHH is the scheduling identifier.
Spots referenced by the schedule should exist in the directory /media/hd0/media . The scheduler has a configuration that controls the way the "spot ID" field in the schedule is interpreted. The field in the schedule is 11 characters wide, but the default setting ("novar") interprets the spot ID field by using only the 8 right-most characters of the spot ID field.
CCMS Verification Status Codes

No cue was received in the scheduled window. See the chapter on Cue Methods for more information
Triggering Explained
DTMF Tone Triggers
DTMF tone board is an option for DPI-1200. The Integrated Satellite Receiver Decoder (IRD) typically has a DTMF port which provides audio cue tones. Alternately, some networks use the secondary audio (SAP) channel to provide the cue tones. The DTMF tones should be nominally spaced by 50msec and be between 0.5v and 1.0v peek to peak.
Appearance of DTMF connector on the DPI-1200 back panel:
Connect + and – for DTMF analog tone input to DPI-1200.
12 DTMF connectors, each corresponding to its channel number – for example, DTMF
01 connector is for channel 01.
To configure Netset, please refer to NETSET MENU.
GPI / GPO Triggers
Page 44
GPI/GPO trigger comes with the DTMF board option. GPI uses the I/O port on the DTMF connector, and the Ground cable uses the G port (see diagram above). Connect I/O and G to form a circuit.
There are a total of 12 GPI (General Purpose Input) connectors, each corresponding
to its channel number, for instance, GPI 01 is the connector is for channel 01.
To configure GPI port, refer to the CUE MENU section.
There is one General Purpose Output (GPO) connector. To configure GPO port, refer to the CUE MENU section.
SCTE35 Triggers
A trigger embedded into the original network signal passed directly to the Splicer. It is detected and triggered by the Splicer to the DPI. Please refer to your specific splicer model's manual (non-Adtec material) for more information
Manual Trigger
The manual trigger is the basic, fundamental trigger for the DPI-1200.
Open a telnet session to the DPI-1200.
At the prompt, type: *.DPID TG 0 6000 0 Triggers channel 01 at a pre-roll time of 6000 milliseconds (6 seconds)
following the Avail Time in the CCMS Schedule.

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
Page 46
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.) These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
Page 47
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those
Page 48
countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>

CHNLMGR: The channel Manager interacts with the splicer. The dpi has 12 channels that are referenced by 0 – 11. When a cue is received from a network (the TRGRD catches the triggers) the channel manager will send a request to the splicer to insert on the requested channel.
The TRGR Daemon receives a GPI Trigger for channel 3. Notice the State is 1.

The CHNLMGR for channel 3 starts processing two spots for the insertion and sends the request to the splicer The splicer replies with the go ahead: SCTE30 splice response (100). The channel manager will send this same request for each spot and if the splicer says ok then it will return the same response.

Each channel has two streams assigned to it. In this case channel 3 has streams 6 and 7 managed by the stream manager (STRM). As one spot is being played the next spot is cueing behind it. After the spot is played by the first stream it will cue another spot while the second stream is being played. You can see that demonstrated here: The processes swap until all 5 of the files are played.
