1.2 iPump 6400 Overview

The WEGENER iPump 6400 is an integrated, digital satellite receiver, decoder, and media server designed to provide the most cost effective method of delivering and storing digital content for broadcast, cable, and business operations. The iPump 6400 is a key part of the

Wegener Communications Digital Media Delivery System which combines secure MPEG and IP digital transmission with media management and server storage. At a given time, up to 260 hours of media content can be stored on a single iPump 6400 (with optional, large disk capacity) and served out via Ethernet according to current need or predetermined schedules.

With the iPump 6400, you can receive, decode, and play out broadcast-quality transmissions while at the same time receiving from satellite and recording multiple

Description

programs or IP data files. Combined with our Compel MediaPlan software, the iPump 6400 can also place spot segments into real-time or recorded programs and can schedule playback of custom sequences of live and recorded content.

The iPump 6400 is housed in a standard, 2 RU, rack-mountable chassis. Its front panel provides a user interface through an LCD and six push buttons (see Figure 3.1: iPump 6400

front panel on page 19). The rear panel holds the power switch and the ports that allow connection to power, incoming signal, and peripheral devices.

The iPump 6400 can perform the following functions:

Status Monitoring

Front-panel and web browser interface screens allow real-time monitoring of iPump 6400 activity, settings, and signal characteristics.

Live Program Play

The iPump 6400 decodes an incoming DVB MPEG program from the received satellite signal. It decrypts and decodes the audio and/or video from the selected program through analog or digital output ports to your monitor or transmission equipment. The incoming content may be either a "classical" DVB program or an IP multicast stream. RF and decoder settings are selected by the user. Two live programs from the same DVB carrier may be played simultaneously by iPump 6400s that have the optional second decoder.

Record Program to File

The iPump 6400 can simultaneously record up to three separate multiplexed programs

(either "classical" DVB or IP multicast stream) from the incoming stream including any that are played live to the decoder(s). The user selects the programs and enters a file name, audio setting, and a recording time (duration) for each. Files are recorded to disk in the

iPump 6400 for later play-out or downloading. Up to 40 GB of storage (up to 43.3 hours of programming depending on data rate) is available on standard iPump 6400s and up to 240

GB on optional, extended-storage iPump 6400s (see Disk Storage Capacity on page 5).

Record and play functions can be used in such applications as "tape delay"/time zone shifting, "spot" localization of commercials, and corporate training media distribution.

Play Recorded Program File

The iPump 6400 plays out the selected, stored program files to the connected audio and video monitors. File playing may be initiated by a predetermined schedule via Compel or by a schedule stored internally to the iPump 6400. The user may also command playing of files directly from a web browser or from the front panel. Two recorded programs (or one recorded and one live) may be played simultaneously on iPump 6400s with an optional second decoder.

File Management

Compel users can rename or delete files stored on the iPump 6400 and organize them into directories or folders. Renaming and deleting files may also be performed through a web browser connected to the iPump 6400 over a LAN.

Playlists

Sequences of programs called playlists can be created and stored on the iPump 6400 by the user (locally or by Compel). Up to 2,000 playlists can be stored in nonvolatile memory and played back with no interruption between programs. Settings can be made to repeat the

2 800009-01 Rev. J www.wegener.com

iPump 6400 User’s Manual playlist indefinitely, complete the playlist and repeat only the last program indefinitely, or complete the playlist and simply return the decoder to its previous state.

Routing

The iPump 6400 can serve as a satellite-to-LAN IP router. Both unicast and multicast IP traffic is supported. Multicast traffic can include, for example, MPEG video streaming data.

The IGMP protocol is followed for multicast traffic.

Stream Creation

The iPump 6400 can create IP multicast video streams and present them on the LAN for use by other equipment. The source of the video stream may be either a prerecorded or downloaded file or a "classical" DVB program.

The iPump 6400 can also multicast previously-stored streams to the LAN. See Figure 1.1:

iPump 6400 routing for an illustration of iPump 6400 routing paths.

Figure 1.1: iPump 6400 routing

www.wegener.com

Scheduled Operation

Schedules of record, play, and other operations for automatic execution by the iPump 6400 may be set up using the Compel network and may be viewed from the web browser interface. (Schedule operations support wild cards and ranges in day, date, and time fields for repetitive events.)

File Downloads

The iPump 6400 accepts files downloaded from the satellite link via Compel’s Assured File

Delivery package. Application software and other files may also be downloaded. Up to five downloads may be performed simultaneously up to an aggregate data rate of 25 Mbps.

The iPump 6400's file download and record functions may be used to load the unit with content for playout (according to a pre-arranged schedule if desired) at any time. This can

800009-01 Rev. J 3

General Information

iPump 6400

Options

be particularly useful in applications with extended or continuous playout needs and limited satellite operating times.

Files Served to LAN

Users sharing a LAN with the iPump 6400 may download stored files from the iPump 6400 to their local workstation or server using FTP or SMB protocol.

Compel Control

iPump 6400 operation may be controlled remotely by a Compel network. Compel

Conditional Access controls which iPump 6400s may access the satellite’s material and prevents access by any other receive equipment. Local control of the unit may be disabled for exclusive control by Compel. The iPump 6400 always follows the most recent command received and does not prioritize commands based on origination from the front panel, web browser interface, or Compel network.

HTML Control

Control of the iPump 6400 is available from any web browser on the LAN to which it is connected or via the internet if desired. The IP address and subnet mask can be displayed and changed at the iPump 6400 front panel.

Contact Closure/Alarms

The iPump 6400 provides a contact closure through a rear-panel connector whenever the unit enters an alarm condition. An additional user relay is also available. The iPump 6400 can also sense a contact closure input. Using Compel, file playouts can be triggered by local closure of this input.

The iPump 6400 Professional Media Server is available in several configurations to meet specific applications. Input type, decoder type, disk storage capacity, Conditional Access, and the presence of a second decoder can be varied to create models best suited for your specific needs.

The iPump 6400 model number is structured as follows to describe the options on each

NSTALLATION

This chapter provides instructions on unpacking, mounting, and connecting the iPump 6400 as well as connector information including detailed pinouts.

2.1 Unpacking and Inspection

Carefully unpack the unit and its ac power cord and inspect for obvious signs of physical damage that might have occurred during shipment. Also locate the bag of accessories including 1/8-to-RCA and SVD-to-RCA adapters. Any damage claims must be reported to the carrier immediately. Be sure to check the package contents carefully for important documents and materials.

Note: Please save the packing materials and original shipping containers in case you must later return the unit for repair. Packing these units in other containers in such a way that they are damaged will void your warranty.

2.2 Location and Mounting

The iPump 6400 should be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. After mounting, maintain a clean, dry environment for the unit.

Precautions

WA RNING This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference for which the user may need to take mitigating action.

DANGE R To avoid damage to this and other equipment, or personal injury, the following items should be strictly observed.

Elevated Operating Ambient

When equipment is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient temperature.

Therefore, consideration should be given to the ambient air temperature within the rack, and not just inside the room, when deciding if the maximum recommended ambient operating temperature (T

MRA

) is being met.

Reduced Air Flow

Equipment should be installed such that airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. To ensure adequate air flow, the iPump 6400 should be arranged in a rack with at least one empty rack unit between it and adjacent equipment and with adequate clearance around both side vents.

Mechanical Loading

Mounting of the equipment in a rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not produced by uneven loading. This unit is not very heavy, but total rack loading must be considered. Also, do not rest any unsupported equipment on your iPump 6400.

www.wegener.com

800009-01 Rev. J 11

Installation

DANGE R Circuit Overloading

Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits could have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Ensure that the total rack or breaker power consumption does not exceed the limits of the ac branch circuit. Appropriate consideration of equipment ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

Reliable Earthing

Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit

(use of power strips, chassis ground lugs, etc.).

Rack

Installation

Procedure

The iPump 6400 is sized at 2 RU and will fit an EIA-standard, 19-inch-wide equipment rack.

1. First, install angle brackets or cross-supports capable of supporting both the unit and its connecting cables. Screw or bolt the supports securely to the equipment rack.

2. Place the iPump 6400 on its supports and use four anchor screws or bolts and nuts to secure the unit's front brackets to the rack.

WA RNING A 1 RU gap (1.75 in) must be left between the iPump 6400 and any adjacent equipment above or below it to provide adequate air flow around the unit. Do not block over 50% of the ventilation or fan opening on each side of the unit. Support arrangements that do not allow adequate air flow or that block over half of the opening on either side may result in overheating and damage to the iPump 6400.

WA RNING The front brackets must be secured to the rack. If front brackets are left unsecured, the unit may shift forward and fall from the rack during installation or operation. Failure to secure the front brackets may result in personal injury and/or damage to the equipment.

WA RNING Locate the iPump 6400 and its cables to avoid impacts, spills, and pulling cables and to ensure sufficient air flow. Failure to locate the iPump 6400 in a proper environment may result in damage to the equipment.

PERATION

3.1 Operation Overview

Most routine iPump 6400 operations are performed over the Compel network or locally through the web-browser interface. However, front-panel control is required to switch the unit’s software (see 3.10 Unit Software Switch on page 60) or to change some key unit settings such as IP address, unit label, LNB LO value, and alarm/warning thresholds. It is important to remember that while most operations are performed remotely, the

iPump 6400 does not prioritize incoming commands based on which interface is used. The

iPump 6400 treats commands from the front panel with importance equal to commands from both the Compel network and the browser interface. Commands are prioritized based only on the order in which they are received. The first command received is the first one performed. Of course, when local control is disabled by command from Compel, no local control is possible until re-enabled by Compel.

In addition to introducing and describing the front-panel and web browser interfaces, this chapter provides details on startup/shutdown of the iPump 6400, making initial unit settings for basic operation, and performing tasks over the web browser. The chapter is organized into the following sections:

!" 3.2 Front-panel Controls and Indicators ,

!" 3.3 Startup/Shutdown Procedures ,

!" 3.4 Front Panel Operation ,

!" 3.5 Front Panel Initial Unit Setup ,

!" 3.8 Web Browser Initial Setup ,

!" 3.9 iPump 6400 Operations by Function , and

!" 3.10 Unit Software Switch .

Note: When operated as part of a Compel network, the iPump 6400 may at times become unavailable for local control or may perform functions not commanded locally. For example, the Compel network operator may command remote iPump 6400s to disable local control during a particular broadcast or program schedule. Also, if set up to expect Compel commands, the iPump 6400 may begin searching RF channels for a Compel signal if that signal is temporarily lost.

3.2 Front-panel Controls and Indicators

There are three major parts of the iPump 6400's front panel controls and indicators: the liquid-crystal display (LCD), the six push buttons, and the eight LED indicators.

Figure 3.1: iPump 6400 front panel

800009-01 Rev. J 19

Operation

Liquid-Crystal

Display (LCD)

The iPump 6400's LCD indicates unit status and prompts for and reflects user input. The

LCD displays the iPump 6400's unit label and serial number on the top line following startup.

The home screen also alternately displays the input signal’s frequency, data rate, and FEC ratio in the lower left corner and continuously displays the current signal-to-noise ratio in the lower right. Using the adjacent push buttons you can navigate the iPump 6400's various screens and edit data fields on the user-input screens.

Push Buttons

These six push buttons are your means of commanding the iPump 6400 from the front panel. The four arrow buttons allow navigation through the menu screens and parameter selection and editing in user-input screens. The ENTER button serves to select menu options (downward navigation), to open user-input fields, or to commit user input to the

iPump 6400. Also press ENTER to quickly start the unit after a normal shutdown. The

Escape (ESC) button allows exit from user-input fields without saving the entry or selection.

ESC also provides upward navigation through the menu structure to the home screen.

Figure 3.4: Editable filename field

1. Press ENTER to begin spelling the filename. The LCD highlights the letter A in the character list.

2. Press the arrow buttons to move through the character list until the LCD highlights the first character of the filename. Additional characters including numerals, decimal, space, and hyphen appear on the LCD as you move downward through the available characters list.

3. Press ENTER to confirm the first character. The first character is displayed at the bottom left of the LCD.

4. Select additional characters as in steps 2 and 3 until the LCD displays the entire filename at the bottom left of the LCD.

5. When the LCD displays the entire filename, press ESC to stop editing. When prompted,

Done?, press ENTER if the filename is correct or ESC to continue editing your entry.

Selectable Fields

Other user-input screens allow selection from a list of options. Figure 3.5 shows an example of a user-input screen with a selectable field.

3.3 Startup/Shutdown Procedures

The first time you start the iPump 6400, the startup process and some initial setup may require a few minutes to complete. After the initial startup, and a normal shutdown, the

iPump 6400 may be started again simply by pressing the ENTER button on the unit’s front panel.

Initial Startup

1. For initial startup, set the power switch to the ON position ( I ) and press and hold the

ENTER button for two seconds. The iPump 6400 powers up and begins the startup process. Usually within three minutes, the unit completes its initialization. (All outputs are muted during this time.)

2. The eight, front-panel LEDs flash on and off together once and then three more times in succession. The LCD shows the current firmware version and the message, "Booting,

please wait. . . .". The expanding and contracting ellipsis shows that the iPump 6400 is booting the software. (Note that the version number shown is that of the front-panel firmware only, and does not indicate the current version of the application software.)

3. During bootup, a quick check of the file system is made to detect and fix any corrupted files.

The message "Auto Maintenance . . ." indicates that this check is in process. The duration of the file system check depends on the extent of any needed repairs to the file system and the size of the affected files. When no problems are detected, the "Auto Maintenance" message briefly flashes on the LCD. If the file system is corrupt beyond repair, the message, "Filesystem is corrupt . . ." appears. Otherwise, the auto maintenance process is continuing normally and you should wait for it to complete.

4. Following a normal check of the file system, the message, "Continuing to boot. . ." is displayed. At completion of bootup, the LEDs lights individually as appropriate to show unit and signal status (see Table 3.1: iPump 6400 front panel LED indicator descriptions on page 22). The display then becomes "live" and typically indicates a loss-of-carrier alarm condition if the unit’s RF configuration has not been completed. This is normal and simply means that the Transport In Settings must be adjusted. After the Transport In Setup is complete, subsequent startups finish by displaying the home screen (showing the unit's serial number, E b

, and alternately displaying FEC ratio, signal frequency, and data transport rate). This indicates that your iPump 6400 is functioning normally and is ready for use.

Normal

Shutdown

Normal

Startup

Removing power to shut down the iPump 6400 does not harm the unit. However, performing a normal shutdown from the front panel is recommended. Normal startup can only be performed following a normal shutdown.To shut down the iPump 6400:

1. Return to the iPump 6400 home screen. (Press ESC repeatedly until the model and unit number or an alarm or warning message displays.)

2. Press the right-arrow button four times to reach the Unit Shutdown screen.

3. Press the ENTER button to select Unit Shutdown.When prompted, press the ENTER button again to confirm.

4. In less than 30 seconds, the iPump 6400 powers down and the LCD and LEDs go out. The

iPump 6400 is now ready for a normal startup. Initiate a normal startup by pressing the

ENTER button.

Following initial startup and after a normal shutdown, start the iPump 6400 by simply pressing the ENTER button on the front panel. If the receiver is tracking a carrier signal, the green CARRIER LED is lit. If the RF set up (See Transport In Current Channel Setup on page 27.) has not been performed or the receiver cannot track the carrier, the red ALARM

LED is lit.

Management

With iPump 6400 playlists, you can set up and play a stored sequence of items without interruption. Playlists are stored in nonvolatile memory so that they remain available after the unit restarts. In the context of the iPump 6400 playlists, an item is a single media file. A playlist consists of one or more items that are played from beginning to end in sequential order.

The iPump 6400 can store up to 2,000 playlists with each playlist containing up to 2,000 items. Available items to add to a playlist are found in the Asset List.

Note: "Loss of service" occurs when the RF signal drops below a minimum threshold or the feed is lost entirely. Loss of service does not affect a currently playing item or playlist, but does interrupt the play of a live program or multicast stream. When loss of service happens, the iPump 6400 plays a user-defined playlist named LOS until service returns for the live program or multicast stream.

Playlist styles

The iPump 6400 supports two styles of playlists:

!" timed

Timed playlists have a specific start time (for example, 1:00 am). As a permanent source for the iPump 6400, a timed playlist resumes playing after a power outage. See Setting a start

time for a playlist on page 59.

Immediate playlist’s items do not have set times and are considered a temporary source since they do not resume play after a power outage except when the playlist’s looping style is Loop Forever. When a playlist’s looping style is Loop Forever, the iPump 6400 recognizes the playlist as a permanent source and begins playing from the beginning of the playlist when the iPump 6400 restarts.

Playlist

Procedures

Looping Styles

A looping style determines how an immediate playlist repeats itself or specific items. A timed playlist ignores looping styles. To set a looping style, see Play Recorded Program File on page 48.

Immediate playlists support one of these looping styles:

Looping style Function

Loop on Last repeats the last item in the playlist until stopped by the user

Loop Forever repeats the entire playlist until stopped by user

Loop N Times repeats the entire playlist "N" times for the number of times entered in the Loop N Times box

Random and sequential tags

The Asset Filter allows you to view the Asset List by all items in the directory, or list directories by the Random or Sequential tags.

When you add an item using the Random tag to your playlist, the iPump 6400 arbitrarily selects an item to play from the selected directory. The item selection is not completely random since the iPump 6400 will not select the last played randomly selected item.

When you add an item using the Sequential tag to your playlist, the iPump 6400 plays the items in order from first to last and then looping back around to the first item in the directory for each pass of the item in the playlist.

Note: In a Loop on Last playlist, when the last item has either a Random or Sequential tag, then the last item follows the normal Random or Sequential pattern.

Note: When the playlist contains random or sequential items, the Total Time listing on the playlist bar is inaccurate and is followed by two asterisks.

Procedures for opening, creating, saving, and deleting playlists

All of the following procedures begin from the Playlist tab on the web browser.

Opening a playlist

X value is 512 and the maximum Y value is 480.

Note: The coordinate (0X, 0Y) is the most upper left corner of the screen.

4. Enter the time in milliseconds for the intro/outro in the Intro/Outro Time box. This setting determines at what times the OSG appears and fades away during the item’s play. For example, if the Intro/Outro Time is set for 1,000 msec (or a second), the OSG appears a second after the start of the item and disappears a second before the item’s end.

Setting a start time for a playlist

The Playlist Builder lets you set specific start times for a playlist and its individual items. If any item has a set start time, then the playlist must also have a start time set for the first item. For more information on timed playlists, see Playlist styles on page 53.

Note: When a playlist with a start time is scheduled for playback, then the decoder is turned off

until the iPump 6400’s local system clock equals the playlist’s start time.

Caution: Start times should not be set for items that follow Random or Sequential tagged items since the actual play times for these cannot be determined.

To set a start time for an item in an open playlist:
