HD3. The HD3 is one of the easiest to use, costeffective and reliable capture, recording, streaming
and archiving products on the market today. It can
archive important audio, video, and graphical data
while simultaneously transmitting it anywhere on your
network.
This user’s guide describes how to set up and use the
HD3 to record and transport graphics, video and audio
content over IP networks. As with all MediaPOINTE
AV-over-IP products, you can control the HD3 by
different methods. These methods include: Web
Portal interface, remote control, contact closure, RS232 serial port, Telnet, or from the convenient front
keypad.
This guide is written for units running 5.3 software.
If your HD3 is operating on a different version of
software, some capabilities and screen shots may be
different.
Key Features
The HD3 may be used in a variety of situations for live
communication and collaboration, including:
• Capture, record, stream and archive live events,
meetings, conferences, seminars, colloquia
in digital High Denition. All content can be
easily accessed and published with full security
privileges dened by the content owner.
• Capture, record, stream and archive up to three
separate HD sources simultaneously. Two HD
inputs support HD cameras or other HD video
sources and one HD video input supports graphics
content from computing devices such as laptops
• Archive media content from multiple independent
sources.
• Share visual information, designs, and concepts
with dispersed groups of people to gather input
during a video conference.
• Stream important video conferences to other
locations such as overow rooms or remote
conference locations over your corporate
network.
• Conduct customer or employee training across
vast geographical areas.
• Discuss research, engineering, architecture,
product design, or process analysis when the
participants are not able to meet in one central
location.
• Access a centralized data bank of expertise from
a eld location.
How It Works
(Method of Operation)
The HD3 can capture, record, stream and archive
video, graphics and audio media. The HD3 accepts
three digital DVI inputs. The selected digital video
input source along with the audio is captured into a
le which can be simultaneously streamed live over
your network and archived. The digital DVI inputs
can accept HD cameras, other HD video sources,
computer video. The audio input and output signals
are connected via RCA stereo unbalanced inputs. A
DVI output allows easy connection to a monitor. HDMI
input and output is also available via a DVI-to-HDMI
adapter or cable. Audio via the HDMI cable is not
supported.
Users can select from several congurable parameters
(proles) for capturing and subsequent playback
of the recorded material. These proles are fully
congurable, allowing the user to specify the input
source, capture resolution, bit, visual layout style and
frame rates.
The archived recordings are stored on the HD3’s hard
drive. The recorded le can then be viewed on your
PC locally or replayed directly from the HD3 on a local
monitor using the DVI output connector. The content
can also be copied to a USB memory stick, burned to
DVD-R, DVD+R or CD-R disk, downloaded to a PC, or
2 | DMR HD3 User Manual 1.0 APRIL, 2015
automatically transferred (FTP) to a server after the le
has been indexed.
How It Works (cont.)
The HD3 records content in standard H.264/MPEG-4 AVC
format, which can be played on a variety of desktop
client players including QuickTime, VLAN and others.
The HD3 supports multiple resolutions up to full 1920 x
1080 HD.

On-Screen Menu/Front Control Panel
The On-Screen Menu is displayed on the DVI output of
the HD3. The HD3 IR remote or Front Control Panel
(keypad) will provide some of the conguration features
of the Web Portal as well as provide the ability to
navigate and playback non-password protected content
stored on the HD3.
Currently the on screen menus give the user the
following capabilities:

♦ Browse and Play non-password protected
content
♦ Browse and Play recent content
♦ Burn content to optical disk
♦ Copy content to USB
♦ Set audio input recording level
♦ Adjust the Menu opacity, position and timeout
♦ Retrieve System Information
Note: There is a +5V on the tip
This closure can be in the form of a relay, manual
switch or semi-conductor switch. This allows for relay
control via external control systems such as AMX,
Crestron, or by a plain momentary trigger, such as a
foot switch.
Semi-conductor closures are found on AMX or Crestron
controllers in the form of a D I/O port. If using a semiconductor closure, polarity is important. The phone
plug tip must be wired to the + or individual input of
the D I/O port, and the sleeve connected to the ground
or - connector. Note that, unlike relay connections,
these connections are not isolated and can form
grounding or hum loops.
External Control
Telnet
The telnet client within the HD3 provides access to the
Command Line Interface through the TCP/IP protocol.
By default, TCP telnet is disabled but can be activated
from the Web Portal with an optional password. The
available commands are the same as listed in the RS232 section.
Once logged in, type ‘help’ or ‘?’ for a list of
commands.
Infra-Red
The Infra-Red (IR) receiver for the remote control is
located on the front of the HD3. It can also be used for
IR control via control systems such as AMX or Crestron.
Remote Contact Closure (Relay)
A relay contact closure connection is mounted on the
back as a 1/8th (3.5mm) phone plug. Either a mono or
stereo plug can be used, but in the case of the stereo
phone plug, short the sleeve to the ring as the negative
connection. This connection can be wired to a simple
momentary switch closure and will start or stop a
recording.
