MEDIAEDGE I. Checks This chapter describes the checks that should be performed before setup and the required precautions.
Display Content Manager Ver1.80 Installation Guide I-1. Overview of Display Content Manager Display Content Manager (hereinafter referred to as “DCM”) is special software for expanding the features of MEDIAEDGE4 (SVS4, STB4H, STB4, SWT4), HDMA-4100 and MEDIAEDGE Decoder (or ME-DEC), to make them compatible with digital signage (*1).
MEDIAEDGE I-2. Overview of the DCM Application The DCM Application is comprised of three items, the DCM Console, the DCM Configuration Tool and the Status Monitor. The main features of the DCM application are as follows.
Display Content Manager Ver1.80 Installation Guide I-3. System Components The DCM system is comprised of various devices that perform the roles described below, and the network that connects these devices. When constructing the DCM system, if you first confirm the roles that each device will perform, it will be easier to decide how to configure the system. I-3-1. Operation PC The operation PC is the computer on which the DCM application of Display Content Manager is installed.
MEDIAEDGE I-3-3. FTP server The FTP server is used as a relay point to which content files registered on the operation PC are uploaded, and from which the content files are then distributed to the MEDIAEDGE server or storage type playback clients. For this reason, at least one(*12) FTP server must be installed in the DCM system. *12: Usually, only one is required. More can be added if required, for example, if there is insufficient storage capacity.
Display Content Manager Ver1.80 Installation Guide I-3-5. Playback clients A playback client is a terminal that plays back a playlist that has been scheduled by the DCM console. At least one playback client must be installed in the DCM system. Playback clients can be broadly divided by their features into three categories. STB A Set Top Box (STB) is a hardware playback client that does not have internal storage, such as an HDD or SSD. It can play the video that is distributed by MEDIAEDGE-SVS server.
MEDIAEDGE Playback clients can also be divided into two categories depending on how they are used: network type playback clients and storage type playback clients. Network type playback client This is a network playback device that operates by receiving video streams from a MEDIAEDGESVS server. STB SWT HDMA Storage type playback client This is a stand-alone playback client that stores the content files and schedule files that are required for playback on its own internal storage.
Display Content Manager Ver1.80 Installation Guide I-4. System Configuration To configure the DCM system, the devices that perform the various roles must be installed properly. Number of devices required for configuring the DCM system Operation PC At least 1 FTP server Only 1 (*15) DCM server Only 1 (*16) MEDIAEDGE server 0 or more Playback client At least 1 Examples of DCM system configurations are shown below.
MEDIAEDGE I-4-1. Smallest configuration without using a server This is the smallest configuration, using one operation PC and storage type playback clients.The number of hardware units can be reduced by installing the FTP server and DCM server onto the same computer as the operation PC. Before configuring this system, first consider whether to use the system configuration in [I-4-2 Configuration using a DCM server] or [ I-4-3 Configuration using one MEDIAEDGE server]. Fig.
Display Content Manager Ver1.80 Installation Guide I-4-2. Configuration using a DCM server This configuration uses one operation PC and one DCM server. The number of hardware units can be reduced by installing the FTP server onto the same server as the DCM server. Fig. I-2 Configuration using a DCM server (1) Operation PC => Set up the operation PC by following the steps below.
MEDIAEDGE I-4-3. Configuration using one MEDIAEDGE-SVS server A configuration that uses one operation PC and one MEDIAEDGE-SVS server. (SVS is selling separately). The number of hardware units can be reduced by installing the FTP server and DCM server onto the same server as the MEDIAEDGE-SVS server. Fig. I-3 Configuration using a MEDIAEDGE server (1) Operation PC => Set up the operation PC by following the steps below.
Display Content Manager Ver1.80 Installation Guide I-4-4. Configuration using multiple MEDIAEDGE servers A large-scale configuration that uses multiple operation PCs and multiple MEDIAEDGE servers. Also, a mixture of network type playback clients and storage type playback clients can be used as the playback clients. The number of hardware units can be reduced by installing the FTP server and DCM server onto one of the MEDIAEDGE servers. Fig.
MEDIAEDGE (1) Operation PC => Set up the operation PC by following the steps below. [1] [II-2-2 DCM application installation] (2) MEDIAEDGE server (& FTP server, DCM server, DCM add-on for SVS, operation PC) => Set up the MEDIAEDGE server by following the steps below. [1] [II-2-3 DCM server, DCM add-on for SVS and DCM application installation] [2] [II-4 MEDIAEDGE Server Installation] (3) MEDIAEDGE server (& DCM add-on for SVS, operation PC) => Set up the MEDIAEDGE server by following the steps below.
Display Content Manager Ver1.80 Installation Guide I-4-5. Large-scale configuration that separates all server functions A large-scale configuration that uses multiple operation PCs and multiple MEDIAEDGE servers. Also, a mixture of network type playback clients and storage type playback clients can be used as the playback clients. In this configuration, both the FTP server and DCM server are installed on hardware units that are separate from the MEDIAEDGE server. Fig.
MEDIAEDGE (1) Operation PC => Set up the operation PC by following the steps below. [1] [II-2-2 DCM application installation] (2) FTP server => Set up the FTP server by following the steps below. [1] [IV-15. FTP Server Settings] 第 章１ (3) DCM server (& operation PC) => Set up the DCM server by following the steps below. [1] [II-2-1 DCM server and DCM application installation] (4) MEDIAEDGE server (& DCM add-on for SVS, operation PC) => Set up the MEDIAEDGE server by following the steps below.
Display Content Manager Ver1.80 Installation Guide I-4-6. Configuration that delivers contents via the Internet A configuration that delivers contents from one or more operation PCs to playback clients which are deployed in wide area via the DCM server and the FTP server which are located in the Internet. This configuration will be possible only if the ME-DEC or HDMA-4100 (version 2.0.0 and later) is acting as a storage type playback client.
