Evertz Scorpion 18 MIO-DD4-3G

The Evertz SCORPION 18 MIO-DD4-3G is a dual-slot module designed for the SCORPION 18 media processing platform. It provides advanced data de-embedding and signal monitoring capabilities for 3G/HD-SDI video streams. The DataMiner connector for the MIO-DD4-3G enables seamless SNMP-based monitoring and management, allowing operators to supervise system health, de-embedded data, and alarm conditions in real time.

Key Features

  • SNMP-based monitoring: Leverages SNMP to communicate with the MIO-DD4-3G module, enabling efficient data retrieval and control.

  • Data de-embedding: Supports configuration and de-embedding state control for up to 3 serial data streams as well as display and monitoring of the resulting SCTE104 data.

    Serial Output

  • GPO configuration and status: Supports configuration and status monitoring of up to 8 GPOs.

    GPO GPO

  • Alarm integration: Enables real-time alarm generation in DataMiner for performance metrics including device temperature, GPIO faults, GPO status, and various monitored SCTE104 parameters.

Use Cases

Centralized Monitoring for Live Production

Challenge: A live broadcast control room needs visibility on multiple SCORPION MIO-DD4-3G modules for proactive signal and data flow monitoring.

Solution: This DataMiner connector centralizes SNMP monitoring of all deployed modules, so that operators can view the real-time status, GPO states, and de-embedded data activity.

Benefit: Enhances operational awareness and enables faster responses to signal anomalies or embedded data issues.

Automated GPO Monitoring

Challenge: A broadcaster needs to monitor the DD4 module's GPO triggers intended for ad insertions to ensure that SCTE104 messages are being detected and handled appropriately.

Solution: With the MIO-DD4-3G connector, DataMiner alarms can be generated when GPOs unexpectedly become inactive.

Benefit: Enables proactive monitoring for GPO-based workflows to increase operational uptime on the connected systems.
