Page 6 This text is for generally information. It indicates the activity for ease of work or for better understanding. Service All service has to be undertaken ONLY by qualified Riedel service personnel. There are no user serviceable parts inside the Frame. Do not plug in, turn in or attempt to operate an obviously damaged unit.
Page 7 Do not place the Frame next to a heat source, f.i. a radiator. Ventilation openings on the left and right side of the Frame must never be blocked. Please also note that, in case of a rack installation. CE Declaration of Conformity The MediorNet devices conform to the EU guideline 2004 / 108 / EG Low - Voltage 2006 / 95 / EC as attested by the CE mark.
Page 8 MediorNet User Manual 2.00.0 Laser Safety The MediorNet system is a Laser class 1M product. Caution A Class 1M laser is safe for all conditions of use except when passed through magnifying optics such as microscopes and telescopes. Class 1M lasers produce large- diameter beams, or beams that are divergent.
Page 9 MediorNet User Manual 2.00.0 1.2 Package Version This Manual refers to the Package Version: 2.00.x The “x” in the firmware version stands for any number between 0 and 99 and indicates bugfix versions. The relevant bug-fixes are described in the related release notes.
Page 10 MediorNet is not designed just for simple point-to-point links, it offers a real network solution. This includes signal routing, allowing the user to send any incoming signal to any output or even to multiple outputs by just a mouse-click or, even more convenient, controlled by a router control system.

Page 90 The De-Embedder extracts the Audio SubChannels of a Video-signal to route them separately through the MediorNet network. The Sample Rate Converter (SRC On) synchronizes asynchronous Audio signal to the MediorNet clock. Test Patterns of any kind of type can be enable on all channels of Video input and output Cards.
Page 91 Channel is disabled and cannot be used. Only Channel 1 and 3 of the output Card can be set to “Source Sync” mode. A Video signal is synchronized to the MediorNet system clock by setting the mode to “System Sync”. Several settings in the Out-tabs are grouped in function groups. A single group can be selected by a left-click on it's symbol.

Page 93: Setup A Connection
To create a connection, you need to select in the source region a signal to be transmitted through the MediorNet network. First you select the respective Frame by a left-click. Selections are indicated by green letters. In the column right of the Frame you need to select the Card also by a left-click and the present Channels of this Card are displayed in a new column.
Page 94 MediorNet User Manual 2.00.0 Drag & Drop A further method to set up connections is to drag&drop the source signal on the destination signal. By releasing the mouse button the connection is established. Figure 138: Drag & Drop Multiple Connections These two ways offering also the possibility to create multiple connections in only one step.
Page 95 An already created connection can be protected in the CONNECTIONS windows by selecting the respective LOCKED checkbox. For the routing you don’t need to take care about the network topology. MediorNet detects all attached Frames automatically and calculates the shortest route.
Page 96 MediorNet User Manual 2.00.0 Manual Routing If you prefer to route your signal manually through the MediorNet network, enable the checkbox MANUAL ROUTING before creating your connection. In this case another column is displayed and let you include or exclude dedicated paths for the routing.

Page 251: Synchronization
5.7.10 Synchronization MediorNet is a synchronized network to broadcast digital Video, Audio and data signals in real-time. The synchronization of the system can be done internally or by an external synchronization source. One MediorNet Frame serves the synchronization clock and is defined as Sync-Master. In case this Frame fails, another Frame will take over the synchronization responsibility to synchronize the network.
Page 252: Tim Ecode
An external Sync Signal (Blackburst) with integrated VITC needs to be connected to the Sync In Port at the Sync Master. Internal If LTC and VITC are not available at the Sync Master, MediorNet generates the Timecode internally. Any Sync Out port configured for PAL or NTSC will carry the timecode.
Page 253: Bandwidth
5.7.12 Bandwidth MediorNet is broadcasting the data via high-speed fiber links, thus a basic knowledge about this medium is required. All links of the LINK-Cards are duplex-links. SFP-Modules are used for the electrical / optical conversion. These transceivers have an independent transmitter and receiver part with a defined wavelength.

Page 263: Workspace
The user has also the possibility to create own Workspaces: On every Workspace is displayed in the right bottom corner an overview of the MediorNet Frame. This overview is independent of the present windows in this Workspace. This overview shows the different slot positions, the fixed position of the MN-XSS Card and the Low-Speed-Slots 3 and 8.
Page 264: System
5.8.3.1 Network Interface The communication between MediorNet and the attached PC is handled by a 100 Mbit/s Ethernet port. Is a PC equipped with more than one NIC or further virtual network ports, a definition of the NIC is required, which is attached to the MediorNet system.
Page 265 5.8.3.2 Frame Synchronization MediorNet is synchronous working platform. In a network is one Frame defined as Sync-Master and the other Frames are Sync-Slaves and will be synchronized to the master’s clock. If no external clock is supplied to the network and all Frames are set to the same priority, the Frame with the highest hardware ID takes care about the clock distribution (see also chapter Synchronization).
Page 266 The Sync signal is generated 500µs before the MediorNet wide sync signal. TC Source The MediorNet acts as a timecode generator if the sync master does not detect a VITC on the Sync In port, or if the Sync In is lost. In this case the TC Mode must be set.
Page 267 MediorNet User Manual 2.00.0 MediorNet sync master selection The decision which Frame becomes master follows a few decisions. The first Frame, which can answer the following questions beginning by 1.) with yes, become sync master. Is a sync signal detected on the Sync Input?
Page 268 The Frame is set by the administrator to a fixed IP address and Net mask. use Gateway If the MediorNet network is connected via a router, the gateway can be entered here to access the Frames across different networks. Figure 325: Configure Fram e IP The command Set Fram e IP Config will store the settings in the selected Frame.
Page 269 MediorNet User Manual 2.00.0 Node ID Configuration The tab Node ID Configuration allows to change the Node ID of a Frame. The Node ID consists of numbers between 1 and 2.147.483.647. The entered Node ID is displayed in red characters if entered Node ID is already in use in the network. A valid Node ID is displayed in black characters.
Page 270 The tab MediorNet Finder allows to search for attached MediorNet Frames in the network. After selecting this tab the application searches automatically for attached MediorNet Frames in the network. All detected Frames are listed with their corresponding IP address. This tool is very useful to identify Frames with unknown IP-addresses.
Page 271 MediorNet User Manual 2.00.0 5.8.3.4 MediorNet Time MediorNet displays in the upper section of the window the actual MediorNet time, the timecode and the local PC time. Set MN Tim e sets the MediorNet time to the PC time. Set TC sets the timecode to the PC time.
Page 272 MediorNet User Manual 2.00.0 5.8.3.5 Reboot/Restart Frames In this window the user has the option to restart the Frames in two ways: SOFT RESTART will restart the selected Frames (warm start). This will interrupt the data transfer of the established connections for about 2 seconds.
