5. Multicast Enabled Network
D9032 and DMP Interaction
Video Source feed into D9032
D9032 joins and streams to multicast group in multicast network
DMM Publishes Multicast Application or URL of a HTML page with multicast video configured in a zone from optional webserver to DMP (Interactions 4&5 will be skipped if not using webserver)
Optional: DMP requests HTML page with multicast configured from webserver
Optional: Webserver serves HTML page to DMP
DMP sends IGMP join request to multicast group
Multicast network joins DMP and streams multicast video to DMP
DMP displays multicast video within a zone using HTML page or full screen video without using HTML page. 3 8 6
Multicast Enabled Network 1 2 7 4 5

6. Scientific-Atlanta D9032 Encoder
For live broadcasting of high quality MPEG-2 video to the Digital Media Player, using limited bandwidth
1 RU, single channel, low power-consumption, stackable
Composite input (for cable feed) and SDI input
Supports constant or variable bit rate (CBR or VBR)

8. Step 1: D9032 Physical Connections to Video Source and IP Network
Connect composite video (yellow) on the video source (video camera, DVD/VCR or cable box) to composite video input on D9032
Connect one end of RCA audio cables to video source’s audio output connectors (white & red)
Cutoff RCA connector on other end of RCA audio cable and strip the wires
Plug the green audio connector that comes separate along with D9032 to the “Analog Audio In 1 & 2” port on D9032
Connect stripped wires for left channel (white) to D9032 audio green connector to holes 1 and 2
Connect stripped wires for right channel (red) to D9032 audio green connector to holes 3 and 4
Connect D9032’s MANAGEMENT and IP TS OUT ethernet ports to network
Configure D9032’s Management IP Address and gateway though front panel (follow page 1-3 of D9032 Encoder User and Service Manual)
Access D9032 Web management interface using IP Address configured for Management ( address>) (follow page 1-4 of D9032 Encoder User and Service Manual)
D9032 Analog Audio Port
Note : if you have an orange digital feed off of your source you can use in in the BNC digital input on the 9022/9032.

19. Step 5: DMM Multicast Configuration
Since the introduction of version 4.1, in order to show a full screen video—multicast or unicast—a design must be created
The Digital Media Designer tool allows you to easily create more advanced layouts to use on the screens beyond a full screen video
