Hardware Layout

The DMG 1200 platform is designed to offer operators reliability and flexibility. The unit consists of a chassis in which up to two platforms can be installed. To cater to specific system requirements, the chassis can be configured to host optional modules best suited for a given scenario.

DMG 1200 Chassis

The Sencore DMG 1200 platform can be delivered in various combinations. The basic single DMG platform includes redundant power supplies, Ethernet control port, 2 MPEG/IP I/O NICs, and 4 bi-directional ASI ports. The chassis shown in Figure 1 is a basic single DMG platform.

Figure 1: Single DMG platform

A single DMG platform has 3 options for adding additional ASI input/outputs:

1. Additional 4 ASI Inputs

2. Additional 4 ASI Outputs

3. Additional 4 ASI Inputs and 4 ASI Outputs

The chassis shown in Figure 2 is a single DMG platform with (4) additional ASI outputs.

Figure 2: Single DMG platform with ASI output option

A dual DMG platform has 2 options for adding additional ASI inputs/outputs:

1. Additional 4 ASI inputs (for one or both platforms)

2. Additional 4 ASI outputs (for one or both platforms)

The chassis shown in Figure 3 has dual platforms with (8) additional ASI outputs. Platform 1 is on the bottom and Platform 2 is on top. Each platform is independent from one another for stream routing.

Figure 3: Dual DMG platform with ASI output option

Control Ethernet Connection

A standard RJ-45 connector provides connection to the SNMP and web interface of the DMG

1200. The connection is a 10/100 BaseT connection. A user can view the IP address of the unit from the front panel or once known can access the web interface through any supported web browser by typing the IP address of the unit.

Installation

General Considerations

This chapter describes the installation procedure for the unit.

Rack size

The chassis is designed to be installed in a standard 19-inch rack. The DMG 1200 occupies 1RU of rack space. All of the cable connections are located on the rear of the unit.

Ventilation

The DMG 1200 is cooled via forced induction through the front of the unit and exhausted through the vents in the rear. The DMG 1200 is equipped with temperature sensors to ensure operating temperature is maintained.

Power Connection

Using the proper power connections is vital to the safe operation of the DMG 1200. Only use the supplied power cables or one with equal specifications. The DMG 1200 can be ordered with AC or DC Power supplies.

AC Power Connection

The DMG 1200 is capable of either operating on 120/240V 50/60Hz systems. The power supply will automatically detect the system it is connected to. To hook up the power use the following steps:

1. Locate the AC power cord that was included with the DMG 1200.

2. Plug the female end of the power cord (end with no prongs) into the back of the unit.

3. Locate a protected outlet (usually inside of the rack) to plug the male end of the power cable into.

DC Power Connection

Using the proper connections is vital to the safe operation of the DMG 1200. The DMG 1200 is intended for use in 40-70 VDC systems. The power supply will automatically detect the system it is connected to. When installing the DMG 1200, the power supply MUST be used in

conjunction with an over-current protective device rated at 250V, 15A, type: Slow-blo, as part of battery-supply circuit. Failure to include an over-current protective device could cause

damage to the DMG 1200, personnel, or property.

Each input port allows the user to set a local alias for the specific port. This is a friendly name that can be used to name the input for easy reference in the future.

The general IP settings section allows a user to enter the unicast/multicast address along with destination port.

The input buffer size is settable at a range from 1 to 4,000 KB. With a larger buffer size, more latency will be created on the input. The tradeoff with a larger buffer is possible prevention of IP jitter and dropped packets.

The advanced settings allow source specific multicasting using IGMP v3 joins. The filter can be set to exclude or include. IGMP addresses can be added and removed by clicking the appropriate heading in the table. There can be up to 64 addresses entered with the highest address taking priority over the addresses below it.

If the port is enabled and no sync is detected, an error will be indicated by a red light. Errors can be user enabled/disabled if desired. Please see Reporting section for error details.

Figure 9 presents the ASI settings dialog for the ASI bidirectional ports. The port can be enabled or disabled from being shown in the active list. Each ASI port allows the user to set a local alias. This is a friendly name that can be used to identify the input for easy reference in the future.

Figure 9: ASI input configuration

The port can be designated as an input or output. By default, ASI I/O 1 and 2 are set as an input and I/O 3 and 4 are set as outputs. The transport stream source is only used when designated as an output.

Page 15 (37)

DMG 1200 - User Manual

Output Settings

This section focuses around the IP and ASI settings found on the right column of the individual platform home screen.
