2.4 des Cr i P tion

The media streamer can play back video/audio files stored on the internal
hard disk. These video and audio files must be in *. ts format during playback so that TV sets and set-top boxes can display them.
The transcoder is used for the adaptation (transcoding) of non-DVB-compliant
data streams in "real time".
All common formats (mkv, avi, divx, mp4, mov, mpeg) can be transcoded into
the transport stream format (*.ts) for the media streamer.

ge n er al

The configuration of the device is to be done via an HTML user interface via a
PC and a standard HTML browser connected to the configuration interface.
The streams for the media streamer are transferred to the hard disk via a SFTP
access or USB interface.
They are output at the streaming interface.
—> You will find descriptions to important terms for configuring a
streaming network in menu Help > Multicast Setup.
If the configuration interface is con-
nected to the Internet, after the initial setup, you can get worldwide ac­cess to the station via an OpenVPN connection – by PC, tablet or smart phone with Internet access.

3.2 inst alli ng the d e v i C e

– The device is meant exclusively for use in rooms with normal operating
conditions (temperature, humidity, radiation) such as air-conditioned server rooms, offices and publicly accessible rooms with similar conditions. To en­sure optimum cooling of the system, we recommend, to operate the device in an air-conditioned room in a dedicated rack (recommended ambient tem­perature according to BSI 20 - 22 °C; recommended humidity max. 40 %).
• Attach four cage nuts 22 at the installation site. We recommend the use of lateral slide rails/component carriers in order to
relieve the front panel.

3.3 Con ne C ting the d e v i C e

Pow er su PP ly

• Connect the attached mains cable to the IEC connectors C14 3.
• Connect the mains cable to mains socket with protective conductor connec­tion. Thereby note the voltage specified on the device.
—> This device has no primary power switch and is in standby mode im-
mediately after connecting the operating voltage. Power ON/OFF
1
switches only the secondary DC voltages!
For a complete disconnection from the mains, the mains plug must
be pulled out of the mains socket. Ensure that the mains plug can be pulled out without difficulties.

str e a m i n g int e r fa C e

• Configure the device (page 12).
• Make sure the LAN network is adapted and configured for streaming!
Therefore note menu Help > Multicast Setup.
• If the programming is finished connect the streaming interface 7 to the
LAN network via a CAT 6 cable.

Confi gu r at io n/ wa n inter faC e

• After the initial configuration, connect the configuration/WAN interface 6 to the LAN network using a CAT-6 cable if you want to process content from the Internet or have remote access.

4 Configuration

The configuration of the device is to be done via an HTML user interface via a
PC and a standard HTML browser.

4.1 init ia l C o n f i g ur at i o n

• Connect a PC via a LAN cable directly to a configuration interface 6.
—> The PC and the device must be within the same network (same IP
address range). Cookies must be accepted and JavaScript must be active.
Use current browser versions.
—> Example for IP address setting with Windows 7 operating system:
• For the initial setup open the properties for TCP/IPv4 of the PC: > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center
> LAN connection
> Properties
