DMP 9 - Quick Start Installation (Digital Media Player)

STEP 1:

Setup the player in the desired location.
*If you have the rack mount version of this system, please refer to the instructions at the bottom of this document.

STEP 2:

Connect your computer monitor or KVM system to the VGA port.

STEP 3:

Plug the power cord into the DMP and the other end into an electrical outlet. If your DMP has power redundancy, we recommend plugging them into separate power circuits.

STEP 4:

Connect the video/audio for Program Video Output (output to modulator, encoder, or broadcast system). There are two output options (HDMI and HD-SDI), the audio and video are handled by a single cable in either case. 

Note: If you need an analog composite or component output connection, a customer-supplied adapter will have to be used. We can suggest the following adapters. These have been tested and are known working solutions.

• Blackmagic Design Mini Converter SDI to Analog
  
• You may also require BNC (male) to RCA (female) adapters for video output, and 1/4" (male) to RCA (female) adapters for audio output
