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.

• Screw the unit with the mounting screws 24 and the washer 23 to the four
cage nuts 22.

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

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.

• 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
- 12 - STP 500
> Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
> Properties
• Activate point "Use the following IP address".
• Enter e.g. 192.168.0.2 for the IP address.
• Enter for the Subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
• Confirm the setting with "OK".
- 13 - STP 500
• Start the browser, enter the IP address of the device (factory default is
192.168.0.120) and start the establishment of the connection.
• Enter user admin and your Password and click on button "Login".
The default password is geheim.
