DMP900 User Guide SAFETY PRECAUTIONS There is always a danger present when using electronic equipment. Unexpected high voltages can be present at unusual locations in defective equipment and signal distribution systems. Become familiar with the equipment that you are working with and observe the following safety precautions.
1.1 Front Panel DMP900 is a powerful, platform-based and multipurpose video-processing product. Equipped with six hot-swappable modules, DMP900 supports almost any video delivery requirement with any combination of receiving, de-scrambling, transcoding, re-multiplexing/grooming, scrambling, modulating and IP/ASI turn around for service providers.
The DMP00 is cooled via forced induction through the front of the unit and exhausted through the slots in the rear of the chassis. The DMP900 is equipped with a temperature controlled status indicator. If the temperature inside the chassis exceeds 50° C (the default alarm threshold) the mainboard status indicator will be flashing red on the front panel.
Part 2 Installation 2.1 Rack Installation The DMP900 is designed to be mounted in a standard 19” rack. It takes 1RU of rack space. To install it into a rack, please use the following steps: 1. Determine the desired position in the rack for the DMP00. Make sure that the air intake on the top of the unit and the exhausts on the back of the unit will not be blocked.
Version Mainboard Version Sub board/Slot Version To configure DMP900 network, use the following steps: 1. Press MENU button to enter Main Menu. 2. Use Up, Down, OK button to navigate and enter submenus. 3. In order to change the addresses, press OK button to enter edit mode. When a short line appears under editable digit, press Up or Down button to change the digit, then press Left or Right button to edit next digit.
CAT5 straight-through cables. If you do not have a switch, you can connect the computer directly to DMP900’s management port. Set the IP address of the laptop/computer in the same network with the DMP900 management IP address. For example, you can set the computer’s IP address to 192.168.1.98. ...
DMP900 User Guide 3.1.2 Logging into the Web GUI Type the DMP management IP address into the URL field of any recommended browser (IE8 or above, Firefox, and Google Chrome) to access the logon page. By default, the admin user account is admin with password admin.
Menu Module Configuration is where you set input and output parameters for each board. Menu Service Configuration is where to distribute services. Menu Equipment Configuration includes the basic settings for a DMP900 unit. 3.1.4 Service Configuration Service Configuration page, see the following image, is the main page to distribute input and output services.

Click Apply buttons every time you complete the settings in these pages. Click Save to save all the configurations into the flash memory. Only in this way will the DMP900 be able to restore all the configurations after power recycling.
Click Clear Power Alarm to clear the alarm for power supply. If you change the IP address of the DMP900 in System page and click Apply, this unit will restart itself to activate the new IP address.
DMP900 User Guide 3.2.2 Configuring Input Before configuring the input, please plug in an input cable with valid signals. Steps to configure ASI input: 1. Go to Module configuration > ASI, set Port 1 and Port 2 as input ports. Click Apply before you go to the next step.
Page 17
DMP900 User Guide Batch Scan is really a convenient function especially used to search multiple TSIP input channels. So you do not have to do it one by one. Note before you use this function, please go to Status > TSIP and verify all the input channels you are going to batch scan present input bitrates.
DMP900 User Guide 3.2.3 Configuring Output Verify the output ports are enabled in Module Configuration. Use the following two ways to create output TS: Drag TS to TS Click an input TS; drag and drop it to an output TS. Click Apply. Click Save if necessary. See the following Image, there is a TS coming from Board6 ASI input, and a TS is to be created in Board4 TSIP output port.
Page 19
DMP900 User Guide Go to Status > TSIP (64I32O) to verify the Effective Bitrate in the corresponding output channel. Go to Module Configuration > TSIP (64I32O) > Output*Channel (1-16). See the following image. Set the Constant Rate 2 Mbps higher than the output Effective Bitrate you to avoid overflow. For example, if the Effective Bitrate of ASI output TS1 is 3.822 Mbps, set Constant Rate 6 Mbps.
DMP900 User Guide EMM and Other PIDs (EIT, SDT, TDT and other PIDs) can be output by drag-and-drop procedures. 3.2.4 Delete an Output TS/Program/PID Move the cursor to a TS, Program or PID until a red icon ( ) appears. Click the red icon to delete the service or PID.
Click Browse to select the software. Then click Upgrade to start update process. If it is a mainboard upgrade, DMP900 will reboot itself after upgrade is finished. If it is module upgrade, Go to Module Configuration and click Reboot to load the module again.
DMP900 User Guide License page is where to check and update licenses. Note slot 0 refers to the Mainboard. Updating License 1. Click Browse to select a license file. 2. Click the circle to select a slot number, then click Export License to save the license in the computer.
In that case, you will lose the configuration of this unit. 3.2.9 Log Log records the operations and activities of a DMP900. We may request an exported log file from user for troubleshooting or other use.
