About This Guide
This guide is for installers and administrators of Cisco Vision venues who are responsible for both the physical installation
and initial configuration of the digital media players (DMPs) with TV displays.
Note:
Series 2 = DMP-2K and SV-4K players
Series 3 = CV-HD and CV-UHD players
Series 4 = CV-HD2 and CV-UHD2 players
In the documentation for Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director, we changed the terms “master” to “lead, leader, or
primary,” the term “slave” to “secondary,” the term “whitelist” to “allowlist,” and the term “blacklist” to “blocklist.” There
are currently no changes to the product’s syntax, so these terms are still present in the documentation where the current
code requires their use. Where an industry standard exists, such as IEEE terminology, we cannot alter the term until the
standards change.

Table 2 on page 13 describes the supported environment for proper operation of the Series 2, Series 3, and Series 4
media players.
Caution: Do not allow condensation of any vapor to touch the DMPs at any time. Do not spill food or drinks of any
kind on the DMPs. Before powering up the DMP, let it come to room temperature to remove any possibility of
condensation build up inside the device.

. If power is negotiated to 15W, services on the CV-HD2 are restricted. This includes shut down of the HDMI-In port and unavailability
of one CPU. If using USB for touch screen support, the USB port power is sufficiently reduced to impact support of any high-power
devices.
2. Warning: Do not supply power to network port using AC power cable. When using PoE, budget appropriate power for optimal DMP
operation.

1. If power is negotiated to 15W, services on the CV-UHD2 are restricted. This includes shut down of the HDMI-In port and
unavailability of one CPU. If using USB for touch screen support, the USB port power is sufficiently reduced to impact support of
any high-power devices. When only 15W is available, the USB ports will retain I/O functionality but limit power output to 100mA /
port. Additionally HDMI-In is not supported and graphics performance will be reduced.
2. Warning: Do not supply power to network port using AC power cable. When using PoE, budget appropriate power for optimal DMP
operation.
Note: WiFi is not supported for this DMP.
