iPump6400 User’s Manual

1.2 iPump6400 Overview

The Wegener iPump6400 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 iPump6400 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 iPump6400 (with optional, large disk capacity) and served out via Ethernet according to current need or predetermined schedules.

Physical

Description

Functional

Description

With the iPump6400, you can receive, decode, and play out broadcast-quality transmissions while at the same time receiving from satellite and recording multiple programs or IP data files. Combined with our Compel MediaPlan software, the iPump6400 can also place spot segments into real-time or recorded programs and can schedule playback of custom sequences of live and recorded content.

The iPump6400 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 iPump6400 Front Panel on page 30). The rear panel holds the

power switch and the ports that allow connection to power, incoming signal, and peripheral devices.

Your iPump6400 can perform the following functions:

Status Monitoring

Front-panel and web browser interface screens allow real-time monitoring of iPump6400 activity, settings, and signal characteristics.

Live Program Play

The iPump6400 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 iPump6400s that have the optional second decoder.

Record Program to File

The iPump6400 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

800009-01 Rev. B 8 wegener.com

wegener.com

iPump6400 User’s Manual programs and enters a file name, audio setting, and a recording time (duration) for each. Files are recorded to disk in the iPump6400 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 iPump6400s and up to 240 GB

on optional, extended-storage iPump6400s (see Disk Storage Capacity).

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 iPump6400 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 iPump6400. 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 iPump6400s with an optional second decoder.

File Management

Compel users can rename or delete files stored on the iPump6400 and organize them into directories or folders. Renaming and deleting files may also be performed through a web browser connected to the iPump6400 over a LAN.

Playlists

Sequences of programs called Playlists can be created and stored on the iPump6400 by the user (locally or by COMPEL). Up to 100 Playlists can be stored in nonvolatile memory and played back with no interruption between programs. Settings can be made to repeat the 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 iPump6400 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 iPump6400 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.

iPump6400 User’s Manual

The iPump6400 can also multicast previously-stored streams to the LAN. See

Figure 1.1 iPump6400 Routing for an illustration of iPump6400 routing

paths.

Figure 1.1 iPump6400 Routing

Scheduled Operation

Schedules of record, play, and other operations for automatic execution by the iPump6400 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 iPump6400 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 iPump6400'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 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 iPump6400 may download stored files from the iPump6400 to their local workstation or server using FTP or SMB protocol.

Compel Control iPump6400 operation may be controlled remotely by a Compel network. Compel conditional access controls which iPump6400s 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 iPump6400 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 iPump6400 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 iPump6400 front panel.

Contact Closure/Alarms

The iPump6400 provides a contact closure through a rear-panel connector whenever the unit enters an alarm condition. An additional user relay is also available. The iPump6400 can also sense a contact closure input. Using Compel, file playouts can be triggered by local closure of this input.

The iPump6400 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.

Chapter 2 Installation

This chapter provides instructions on unpacking, mounting, and connecting your iPump6400 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 iPump6400 should be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack.

After mounting, maintain a clean, dry environment for the unit.

WARNING

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.

DANGER

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 of the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient. 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. The iPump6400 may be arranged in a rack without empty spaces between units if heat rise is prevented by ensuring its side vents remain unblocked with adequate clearance around the vent holes.

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 iPump6400.

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.).

800009-01 Rev. B 20 wegener.com

Chapter 3 Operation

3.1 Operation Overview

Most routine iPump6400 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 3.7 Unit Software Switch) 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 will be performed remotely, the iPump6400 does not prioritize incoming commands based on which interface is used. The iPump6400 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 your iPump6400, making initial unit settings for basic operation, and performing tasks over the web browser interface. 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 Initial Unit Setup,

•3.6 iPump6400 Operations by Function, and

•3.7 Unit Software Switch.

NOTE: When operated as part of a Compel Network, your iPump6400 may at times become unavailable for local control or may perform functions not commanded locally. For example, the Compel network operator may command remote iPump6400s to disable local control during a particular broadcast or program schedule. Also, if set up to expect Compel commands, your iPump6400 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 your iPump6400's front-panel controls and indicators: the liquid-crystal display (LCD), the six push buttons, and the eight

LED indicators.

Liquidcrystal

Display(LCD)

Figure 3.1 iPump6400 Front Panel

The iPump6400's LCD indicates unit status and prompts for and reflects user input. Here, you will see your iPump6400's unit label and serial number displayed 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 (described in the next paragraph), you can navigate the iPump6400's various screens and edit input fields.

Push buttons

These six push buttons are your means of commanding the iPump6400 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 userinput fields, or to commit user input to the iPump6400. 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.

3.3 Startup/Shutdown Procedures

The first time you start the iPump6400, the boot-up process and some initial setup may require a few minutes to complete. (See Initial Unit Settings.) After the initial startup, and if a normal shutdown was performed, the iPump6400 may be started again simply by pressing the ENTER button on the unit’s front panel.

Initial startup

a) For initial startup, set the power switch to the On position ( I ) and press and hold the ENTER button for two seconds. The iPump6400 will power up and begin the boot process. Usually within three minutes, the unit will complete its initialization (all outputs are muted during this time).

Normal

Startup

b) 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 iPump6400 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.) c) 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 will only briefly flash on the LCD. If the file system is corrupt beyond repair, the message, "Filesystem is corrupt . . ." will appear.

Otherwise, the auto maintenance process is continuing normally and you should wait for it to complete.

d) Following a normal check of the file system, the message, "Continuing to boot . . ." is displayed. At completion of bootup, the LEDs will light

individually as appropriate to show unit and signal status (see Table 10:

LED Indicator Descriptions on page 31). The display then becomes

"live" and will typically indicate a loss-of-carrier alarm condition if the unit’s RF configuration has not been completed. This is normal and simply means that the RF settings must be adjusted. After the RF setup has been completed, subsequent startups will 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 iPump6400 is functioning normally and is ready for use.

Following initial startup and after a normal shutdown has been performed, the iPump6400’s normal startup may be performed quickly by simply pressing the

ENTER button on the front panel. If the receiver is tracking a carrier signal, the green CARRIER LED will light. If the RF set up has not been performed or the receiver cannot track the carrier, the red Alarm LED will light.

3.6 iPump6400 Operations by Function

Most iPump6400 functions can be performed locally from either the front panel or from a web browser attached to the iPump6400 via Ethernet. However, web browser operation is described in this section because after initial configuration, that is the method by which most local operations will be performed. Operations are listed and described by function.

Live Program

Play

When set up for live program play, the iPump6400 decodes an incoming

MPEG stream from the received DVB satellite signal and decrypts and decodes the audio and/or video from the selected program to the connected audio and video monitors. Two live programs from the same DVB carrier may be played simultaneously if your iPump6400 has the optional second decoder.

a) To set up for live program play, first ensure the appropriate RF input and audio and/or video output connections have been made.

b) Next, ensure that the proper RF settings have been selected. Check that downlink frequency, transport data rate, FEC ratio, and program number are properly selected before playing a live program.

NOTE: The LNB LO frequency may only be set from the front panel. In typical operation, changes to this setting are not usually necessary after initial unit setup.

c) From your web browser, click the Setup tab to display the various iPump6400 settings. (The Aux Audio settings only appear for units equipped with the Aux Audio option.) wegener.com

iPump6400 User’s Manual d) Next, click the Edit button under Satellite Receive Settings to change that group’s parameters.

e) After changing the fields as needed, click the Activate button to save your changes. Any changes will take effect immediately.

f) If you do not wish to make or save any changes, click the Cancel button and any changes will be discarded.

g) Next, click the Edit button under Settings for Decoder #1 (or #2 if available and desired).

800009-01 Rev. B h) Choose a specific DVB program, an IP multicast program, Follow

Tune, or Off from the Setting pull-down menu. The Follow Tune setting causes the decoder to play whatever DVB program is selected under Satellite Receive Settings. Audio and video mute options, plus

UDP port and multicast address if multicast is chosen, may also be selected from this screen. If you don't wish to keep your changes, click the Cancel button. Otherwise, click the Activate button to make your changes immediately effective and begin playing the selected program.

48 wegener.com

wegener.com

iPump6400 User’s Manual

NOTE: The setting at initial startup is Follow Tune. To stop live program playing, select Off under Decoder Settings.

i) Next (if the Aux Audio option is enabled), click the Edit button under

Settings for Aux Audio to change that group’s parameters and provide an extra audio-only service through the auxiliary audio port.

j) Choose a specific DVB program, an IP multicast program, Follow

Tune, Follow Decoder 1 (or 2), or Off from the Setting pull-down menu. The Follow Tune setting causes the decoder to play the audio from whatever DVB program is selected under Satellite Receive

Settings. For IP multicast programs, also set the UDP port and multicast address. The first audio content detected in that stream is used.

When Aux Audio is set to Follow Decoder 1 (or 2), it uses the same program to which the followed decoder is set and a language descriptor

(from the Language setting) is used to find a matching audio stream within that program. The Language may be the same as, or different from, the primary audio output of the followed decoder. If First Available is chosen as the Language setting when Aux Audio is set to Follow

Decoder, the next unused available audio is played. Consider the example of a program that contains a first audio ‘ENG’ and a secondary audio

‘FRE’ and the followed decoder’s language descriptor is set to ‘ENG’. If the Aux Audio is set to ‘ENG’, then both will produce the audio tagged as

‘ENG’. Likewise, if the followed decoder is set to First Available and the

Aux Audio is set to ‘ENG’ they will both produce ‘ENG’. However, if the followed decoder is producing ‘ENG’ and the Aux Audio is set to

First Available, the Aux Audio will produce ‘FRE’ because ‘ENG’ is already being produced by an audio port for the followed decoder.

If Aux Audio is set to Follow Decoder 1 (or 2) and a normal file play action takes place on the followed decoder, then the Aux Audio port will be silent for the duration of the file play. However, if the file was recorded using the All Audio option, then during playback to an A/V decoder, any audio within the file with a matching language descriptor will be sent to the Aux Audio port during file playback.

NOTE: A file may only be played back through the Aux Audio port if Aux

Audio is not set to Follow Decoder 1 or 2. The single audio stream in the file is extracted and played (regardless of the Aux Audio Language setting), and the associated video is discarded.

Also choose the desired mute option (Muted or Unmuted) for Audio

Left and Audio Right. If you don't wish to keep your changes, click the

Cancel button. Otherwise, click the Activate button to make your changes immediately effective and begin playing the selected program.

Double click directory names (displayed in red text) to browse other directories. Multiple files may be highlighted at one time by using control-click to select individual files and shift-click to select multiple adjacent files. Again, clicking the left-arrow button adds all highlighted programs to the playlist.

NOTE: When a playlist is chosen for file playback, programs will be played in the order that they appear in the playlist.

e) To edit an existing playlist, first select it from the Edit Existing

Playlist dropdown.

f) Files are removed from the playlist by highlighting using the same click, control-click, and shift-click methods followed by clicking the

Remove From List button. All spots may be removed from the playlist by clicking the Clear List button.

g) Add files to the list in the same manner as when creating a new playlist.

If desired, a program may be inserted in the middle of a list. Do this by first highlighting a spot in the playlist before which the new program should appear. Then add the new program as before. The added file will be inserted before the highlighted playlist spot.

NOTE: RANDOM and SEQUENTIAL are default "files" which may be added to any playlist. When RANDOM is selected, the iPump6400 randomly selects a file to play from the selected directory. When SEQUENTIAL is selected, the iPump6400 plays the first file in the selected directory that has not already been played as SEQUENTIAL. Or, if all files in the selected directory have been played as SEQUENTIAL, then SEQUENTIAL will again play the first file. For example, if the selected directory contains the files ’A’, ’B’, ’C’, and ’D’ (in that order), then the first time SEQUENTIAL appears in the playlist, file ’A’ will be played. The second, third, and fourth times

SEQUENTIAL appears in the playlist, the files ’B’, ’C’, and ’D’ will be played respectively. If SEQUENTIAL appears in the playlist a fifth time, then file ’A’ will be played again and so forth. The file played by the SEQUENTIAL entry is dependent only on the order of files played as SEQUENTIAL and is not affected by any other previous playlist entries.
