Cisco D9094

This device has the ability to stream and decode HD/SD AVC video streams for TV. It does so at lower bit rates, while being able to maintain a 4:2:2 chroma, over DVB and broadband IP networks. It also has support for DVB-S/S2 satellite communication.

This connector allows you to retrieve information from Cisco's D9094 platform. You can monitor alarms and statistical information, and configure/activate the encoding, decoding and recording of video streams. The connector retrieves and sets information on the device via SNMP.

Configuration

Connections

SNMP Main connection

This connector uses a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) connection and requires the following input during element creation:

SNMP CONNECTION:

  • IP address/host: The polling IP of the device.
  • Device address: Not required.

SNMP Settings:

  • Port number: The port of the connected device, by default 161.
  • Get community string: The community string used when reading values from the device, by default public.
  • Set community string: The community string used when setting values from the device, by default private.

How to Use

The element consists of the data pages detailed below.

General

Contains generic machine information/configuration, such as the unit information (name, software version, etc.), the provided services, the system status and the ports and data information.

Management

Contains the more advanced unit configuration, not directly related to the encoding/decoding. Also contains settings for identification, time, and network access (LAN, HTTP, SNMP, PPPoE, Data Ports, Serial, Intercom, Console). You can also find the logging page in here.

Encoders

Contains the entry point for several of the encoder's information and configuration. The status and interfaces can be found here. You can also start and stop the encoder. Reports can be configured here as well.

Several subpages are available:

  • DVB Settings: Contains the configuration for both the ASI and S/S2 parts of the Digital Video Broadcasting encoding.
  • IP Settings: Contains the configuration for the main and sub encoder's IP stream settings, including several protocol options, and the destination IP address and ports.
  • Inputs: Contains the options for the encoder's video and audio input.
  • Statistics: Contains the statistical information regarding the number of packets received or lost by the encoder.
  • PID: Contains the process IDs for the main and sub encoders, including their stream, network, service and video/audio IDs.
  • BISS: Contains the configuration for the satellite signal scrambling system (Basic Interoperable Scrambling System).
  • ANC Data: Contains the auxiliary data configuration, both for the main and sub encoder.
  • Encoding: Contains the core configuration for the base encoding process, including several rates, the video resolution, and the detailed audio configuration.

Decoders

Much like the encoder page, this page works as an entry point for the controls of the decoding process of the unit. It contains status information for the decoder and current configuration, allows you to start or stop the decoding process, and lists the various process IDs.

Several subpages are available:

  • IP Settings: Contains the configuration for the decoder's IP stream settings, including the streaming mode, several protocol options, and the destination IP address and ports.
  • Inputs: Contains the options for the decoder's video and audio input.
  • Statistics: Contains statistical information regarding the number of packets received or lost by the decoder.
  • PID: Contains the process IDs for the decoder, including the service and video/audio IDs.
  • BISS: Contains the configuration for the satellite signal scrambling system (Basic Interoperable Scrambling System).
  • Decoding: Contains the State, Error Concealment and Passthrough options for the decoding process.

Recorder

This page allows control over the recording section of the Cisco unit, allowing you to see whether that unit is equipped or not and to start/stop the recording process.
