VI. Functions and

Operation

This chapter describes the functions

such as remot e serial and how to

update the content.

- 68 -

MEDIAEDGE

1. Update of Content

1-1 About the Update

The contents, the schedule files, and the menu files that are necessary for the

playback in the MEDIAEDGE Decoder can be copied to the body in several ways.

Please choose the method depending on the applications. It is also possible to

use a combination of more than one way; however, please consider the integrity in

operation of each to do so.

1-2 About the Update

Cooperation with the DCM is needed when creating the DCM schedule in the DCM

and managing the content. When the DCM and the MEDIAEDGE Decoder are

properly set to cooperate, it is possible to write the content in the MEDIAEDGE

Decoder and set the schedule only by the operation of the DCM.

Pleaserefertotheusagemethodsofeachapplicationwhencreatingandoperatingscheduleles

in other softwares without using the DCM.

Please complete the following settings in the Web console of the MEDIAEDGE

Decoder.

■ Basic Settings

Default drive

Select the drive where the content le will be transferred by using the DCM.

When the SD card and the USB storage are selected, errors will occur in the

transfer of the content if the device is not currently connected.

Write access drive

Set the drive that the content is transferred to "read-write." The drive that is

not going to be used will have no problems either way.

- 69 -

MEDIAEDGE Decoder

■ Network

For the advanced settings method, please refer to network setting. It is

necessary to set to be accessable to the DCM.

Cooperation with the DCM

Cooperation

Set up to enable.

DCM server

Set up the address of the DCM server and the port address that are

going to be used (It is necessary to adjust to the settings of the DCM).

When connecting to the external DCM server, please set the router to be

accessable.

Account

Set up the same user name and password as the ones set in the DCM.

■ Channel Mode

When the DCM is used and [Basic setting] > [Operation mode] is set in the

channel mode, the settings related to the channel will be done through the

DCM.

1-3 File Sharing

When the file sharing is enabled, it is possible to access to the drive of the

MEDIAEDGE Decoder via network. The drive set as writable will make it possible

to update the content freely. However, when the file being played is deleted or

overwritten, the playback will fail.

■ Network

Please refer to the network settings for the advanced settings method. It is

necessary to set properly so that it is accessable from Windows PC.

File Sharing

Share

Set as enable.

●

●

●

●

- 70 -

MEDIAEDGE

Account

Set the setup value and the account that are used to connect to the shared

drive.

The account of the initial value is “mediaedge,” and the password is not set.

Shared drive authority

Set up the shared authority for each drive. When it is disabled, that drive will

not be shared.

The shared drive authority can be set up separately from the write access

drive; however, when the drive is set on “read only,” writing cannot be

possible even if “read write” is set.

1-4 Content Update by SD Card and USB Storage

The update of the content that will be used in the schedule playback or in menu

mode will be possible by putting the content file to be updated and the update

control script (update.inst) into a SD card or an USB storage and inserting it to the

MEDIAEDGE Decoder. The MEDIAEDGE Decoder recognizes the connection of

the SD card and the USB storage and updates the drive content that is set as the

default drive. When the update of the content is completed, the playback will be

started in the new content and schedule.

Please refer to the chapter update control script concerning to the update control

script.

Notes

Theinformationindicatorwillashwhileupdatingthecontent.

If the SD card and the USB storage are pulled out while updating the content, the update may

notbecompletedproperly,thelemaybreak,ortheplaybackmaynotrunnormally.

1-5 Direct Writing to the Device

When the SD card and the USB storage are used, it is possible to remove the

device from the MEDIAEDGE Decoder and write in the content directly from the PC.

The MEDIAEDGE Decoder supports NTFS and FAT16/32 as the le system.

●

●

- 71 -

MEDIAEDGE Decoder

2. Network

2-1 Time Setting (NTP)

NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a communication protocol which synchronizes the

clock in the device connected to the network to the correct time.

It will correct the time automatically by specifying the address of the NTP server

located within the local network and the internet. Please conrm with the network

administrator concerning to the NTP server to be used.

The MEDIAEDGE Decoder will make the correction by quering the time on the NTP

server every set time that was set after the startup or in the update interval (minute).

The initial value of the update interval is 60 minutes; however, please adjust to the

precision of the time required for each operation.

2-2 UPnP

The UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is a protocol that detects automatically and

acquires the information when the equipment is connected to the network.

The MEDIAEDGE Finder and Windows 7 / Windows 8 will use the UpnP to detect

the equipment that corresponds to the UPnP such as the MEDIAEDGE Decoder in

the same network.

At the startup and the shutdown and also in a regular interval, the UPnP sends out

the packet of recognition to the network. It is possible to stop the packet to be sent

out when the network affects the streaming packet.

2-3 Streaming

MEDIAEDGE delivers the video stream by using the streaming protocol of RTSP/

RTP.

FEC (Forward Error Correction)

The video stream will not be received since the packet of PTP is sent

by the UDP and will not be resent even if the packet loss occurs. If the

FEC is enabled, the packet loss that occuered within a certain range will

be automatically corrected. However, a large communication capacity is

required since the packet for error correction will be superimposed on the

network.

●

- 72 -

MEDIAEDGE

When the FEC is enabled in the MEDIAEDGE Decoder, it will run the

communication that added the packet for error correction by the value set in

the MEDIAEDGE Server and the MEDIAEDGE LEB.

Keep alive

The use of the RTSP communication controls the streaming. With the keep

alive enabled, it is possible to detect and recoonect when the streaming

is stopped due to the stop and restart of the MEDIAEDGE Server and the

MEDIAEDGE LEB.

RTSP redirect

With the use of the RTSP redirect, it is possible to control the playback

content externally.

The control such as playback, stop, and pause of the content can be

done in the control command. RTSP server of this unit will only respond

REDIRECT as Method. Method of others will be ignored. Because there is

no authentication function in RTSP redirect, control will be possible from all

devices that can be connected to the network. If security is an issue, please

disable this feature and use the Web API.

Buffering time

Set the time that buffers the received stream internally in milliseconds. When

the buffering time is long, the playback will be delayed though it will make the

playback error to happen less likely due to the network issue. Even when the

setup value is 0, it continues buffering during the minimum required time for

the playback.

●

●

MEDIAEDGE Decoder

3. Others

3-1 Playback Information

The information of the content that appears on the screen during playback will be

displayed.

3-2 Remote Serial

The remote serial is a mechanism to relay the communication from the RS-232C

that is connected to the COM port of the MEDIAEDGE Decoder via the network. It

is connected one-on-one with the relay destination on the network and cannot be

one-to-many communication with multiple relay destinations.

The interlocking connection mode is the ability to make a connection to the

streaming server when the streaming is started. If a xed destination is specied, it

will connect to that specied address. In server operation, it will wait to receive the

connection and connect with the device that comes in rst.

3-3 Log

The MEDIAEDGE Decoder will keep the log of the playback, the file transfer,

and the error in the main body and display the “status display” screen of the Web

console. Also, it is possible to read from outside by using the Web API and the

remote log output.

The log kept internally will be deleted from the old ones automatically when it

exceeds a certain amount. The holding period may become shorter if the log is

generated in large quantities due to continuous errors. It is possible to delete the

log with [Device administration] > [Initialization] > [Initialization of log] available

in the Web console. This is used to delete the log retention information for some

reasons. (It is not used in normal situation.) If a failure occurs due to some issues

in the equipment, the activity log and the internal situation can be output as a le

through [device management] > [Acquisition of information] > [Acquisition of log].

Please send the data obtained to our customer support.
