2 ShowVault Presentation

Thank you for choosing the Doremi ShowVault. The ShowVault is a high quality DCI JPEG2000 server capable of playing movie or trailer packages in MXF format at up to 250Mbits/sec.

The unit features a PCI-Express cable to interface with the IMB unit installed in the projector. This interface is used to transfer digital cinema files to the IMB which is capable of 12-bit 4:4:4 2048x1080p24 or 10-bit 4:2:2 for 48fps and 3D applications. Data storage is done on an internal RAID5 disk array.

The ShowVault/IMB also supports MPEG2 Interop movies, pre-show, and alternative content playback.

2.1ShowVault Front Panel

A silver front panel with a LCD screen is shown below (Figure 5):

These jacks can be used interchangeably, but traditionally the purple jack is for a PC keyboard and the green jack is for a PS-2 mouse. If the user has a USB keyboard or mouse, then use the USB ports on the left side of the motherboard connector panel.

3.3.3 Serial Port

This is a standard 9-pin male DB-9 serial COM port on the motherboard.

3.3.4 VGA

Connect a standard VGA monitor to display the ShowVault software user interface.

This connector can also be linked to the center rear panel VGA connector to facilitate use of the front panel LCD screen. The VGA cable is provided with the ShowVault and is further explained in section 3.1.

3.3.5 USB Ports

Connect standard USB 2.0 peripherals for a PC USB keyboard, mouse, hard drive, etc.

3.3.6 Ethernet

The Motherboard has two built-in Gigabit Ethernet connectors. The left one is identified as "Eth0" and the right one is identified as "Eth1".

4 ShowVault IP Address

All ShowVault servers are shipped with a default IP address of 192.168.100.50 on the Ethernet port (Eth1) and a DHCP assigned dynamic IP address on the Ethernet port (Eth0) – see section 3.3 to locate each Ethernet connector.

To change the IP address of the ShowVault server, go to Menu → System → Networking Configuration and follow the steps below:

A window will appear asking for a password as illustrated below (Figure 17):

Figure 17: Authentication Windows

Follow the steps according to the Ethernet Networking Configuration Wizard (Figure 18):

System hostname - dcp2000 used as an example

Figure 18: ShowVault Network Configuration

Press Enter to confirm the configuration of each page of the Ethernet Networking Configuration Wizard. Press Tab to select an option.

Enter the desired system’s hostname and then press Enter.

oNote: It is a good idea to put the circuit location/screen number in here. For example, “AMC_bir_scr1,” as it will be easier to identify when connecting via VNC and in the logs.

Enter the desired system domain name and then press Enter.

Select Yes to configure eth1 and then press Enter.

Select No for Removable Device and then press Enter.

Select No for Automatically Configure Device with DHCP and then press Enter.

Enter the IP address of eth1 and select OK – in the example, enter 192.168.100.50 and then press Enter.

oNote: Do not put leading zeroes (0) in front of any numbers. For example, do not input 192.168.100.050.

Enter the desired default gateway or leave empty and then press Enter.

Enter the desired subnet mask and select OK – in our example, enter the same subnet mask as the projector: 255.255.255.0 and then press Enter.

Enter the IP Address of the System's Domain Name Server (or leave empty) and then press Enter to exit the wizard.

To verify the setup, go to Menu → Doremi Apps. → Diagnostic Tool and verify the IP Address under the Diagnostic Tool System Tab.

Note: The configuration for Ethernet 2 that might be asked by the Ethernet configuration wizard is not needed at this point. It is ok to skip this step if asked for the configuration.
