2.4 de sC ri P t io n

The media streamer can play back video/audio files stored on the internal

hard disk. These video and audio files must be in *. ts format during playback

so that TV sets and set-top boxes can display them.

The transcoder is used for the adaptation (transcoding) of non-DVB-compliant

data streams in "real time".

All common formats (mkv, avi, divx, mp4, mov, mpeg) can be transcoded into

the transport stream format (*.ts) for the media streamer.

ge n er al

The configuration of the device is to be done via an HTML user interface via a

PC and a standard HTML browser connected to the configuration interface.

The streams for the media streamer are transferred to the hard disk via a SFTP

access or USB interface.

They are output at the streaming interface.

—> You will find descriptions to important terms for configuring a

streaming network in menu Help > Multicast Setup.

GSS

OpenVPN

Server

If the configuration interface is con-

nected to the Internet, after the initial

setup, you can get worldwide ac-

cess to the station via an OpenVPN

connection – by PC, tablet or smart

phone with Internet access.

—> When using mobile terminals – dependent on your mobile contract

– additional connection costs / data transfer costs may also be

incurred here.

3.2 ins ta ll i ng t he d e vi C e

– The device is meant exclusively for use in rooms with normal operating

conditions (temperature, humidity, radiation) such as air-conditioned server

rooms, offices and publicly accessible rooms with similar conditions. To en-

sure optimum cooling of the system, we recommend, to operate the device

in an air-conditioned room in a dedicated rack (recommended ambient tem-

perature according to BSI 20 - 22 °C; recommended humidity max. 40 %).

• Attach four cage nuts

22

at the installation site.

We recommend the use of lateral slide rails/component carriers in order to

relieve the front panel.

3.3 Co n ne Ct i ng t he d e vi C e

Pow e r su PP ly

• Connect the attached mains cable to the IEC connectors C14

3

.

• Connect the mains cable to mains socket with protective conductor connec-

tion. Thereby note the voltage specified on the device.

—> This device has no primary power switch and is in standby mode im-

mediately after connecting the operating voltage. Power ON/OFF

1

switches only the secondary DC voltages!

For a complete disconnection from the mains, the mains plug must

be pulled out of the mains socket. Ensure that the mains plug can be

pulled out without difficulties.

str ea mi n g inte r faC e

• Configure the device (page 12).

• Make sure the LAN network is adapted and configured for streaming!

Therefore note menu Help > Multicast Setup.

• If the programming is finished connect the streaming interface

7

to the

LAN network via a CAT 6 cable.

Co n fi g u r at i on/wan int er faC e

• After the initial configuration, connect the configuration/WAN interface

6

to the LAN network using a CAT-6 cable if you want to process content from

the Internet or have remote access.

- 12 - STP 500

4 Configuration

The configuration of the device is to be done via an HTML user interface via a

PC and a standard HTML browser.

4.1 in i ti al Co n fi g ur at ion

• Connect a PC via a LAN cable directly to a configuration interface

6

.

—> The PC and the device must be within the same network (same IP

address range). Cookies must be accepted and JavaScript must be

active.

Use current browser versions.

—> Example for IP address setting with Windows 7 operating system:

• For the initial setup open the properties for TCP/IPv4 of the PC:

> Control Panel

> Network and Sharing Center

> LAN connection

> Properties

- 13 - STP 500

> Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)

> Properties

• Activate point "Use the following IP address".

• Enter e.g. 192.168.0.2 for the IP address.

• Enter for the Subnet mask 255.255.255.0.

• Confirm the setting with "OK".

- 14 - STP 500

• Start the browser, enter the IP address of the device (factory default is

192.168.0.120) and start the establishment of the connection.

• Enter user admin and your Password and click on button "Login".

The default password is geheim.

Indication of the Multicast IP Addresses

Multicast IP addresses are assigned to the streams. IGMP-capable switch-

es recognize the addresses automatically and, if configured accordingly,

route the streams only on request to end devices. This greatly reduces

network traffic.

—> IP addresses in the range 224.0.0.0-239.255.255.255 are mul-

ticast addresses, but many addresses in this range are reserved

(www.iana.org/assignments/multicast-addresses).

—> Use the 239.x.y.z range! It is suitable for streaming TV content and

must also be used for Panasonic Viera TVs.

For x use only the range of 1…127.

The range 0 ... 255 is available for y and z.
