DISPLAY CONTENT MANAGER — Installation and User Guide 65

Configurations Using MEDIAEDGE-SVS4

The Display Content Manager (DCM) software may be installed on the

same computer as the MediaEdge server software or on a separate client

machine. The choice as to where to install DCM components depends upon

your MediaEdge network topology and usage requirements.

Note A single instance of the DCM software can manage the content for one or

more MediaEdge servers. A separate DCM instance is not needed for each

MediaEdge server.

The computer on which the DCM client software is installed is referred to

as the Control PC.

Before beginning the DCM installation, determine where you wish to

install the DCM client software. If the DCM will be installed on a separate

Control PC, the software installation is a two-step process involving the

Control PC and the MediaEdge SVS4 server(s). Begin with the MediaEdge

SVS4 server(s).

Figure 50 depicts a MediaEdge system in which there is one MediaEdge

Server and one control PC managing the content for four set top boxes and

their output displays.

In this configuration, any of the following client devices may be used for

content playback:

• HDMA-4000/HDMA-4000Sync/HDMA 4100

• MediaEdge-STB3-DS/STB4/STB4H

• MediaEdge SWT3-DS/SWT4 (software client - operates as browser

plug-in)
