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.
Physical
Description
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.
Functional
Description
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
