Installation Guide
This section will guide you through the physical connection and setup of your Cisco Digital Media
Encoder 2000 system.
There are two parts to the complete installation of the Cisco Digital Media Encoder 2000, as follows:
1. Connection of the Cisco Digital Media Encoder 2000 streaming media encoder
2. Configuration of the Cisco Digital Media Encoder 2000 system
Most of the basic operations you will routinely use are performed from the front panel of the Cisco
Digital Media Encoder 2000 system.
You may want to access advanced setup and operations, and to do so you must access the Niagara
SCX Web Interface from a computer that resides on the same network as the encoder.
Although these advanced operations are not required for most streaming applications, you may want
to customize your encoding settings and assign specific encoding profiles to the EZStream
buttons on the front panel. The SCX Web Interface provides the ability to remote control your Cisco
Digital Media Encoder 2000 from a computer that could be rooms or continents away from the
system provided both your Cisco Digital Media Encoder 2000 and the computer have Internet access
to communicate with each other.
First, connect the Cisco Digital Media Encoder 2000 streaming media encoder. Please see the
following section for connection information.
Connecting the Cisco Digital Media Encoder 2000 Streaming Encoder
Although it has many features and capabilities, the Cisco Digital Media Encoder 2000 streaming
media encoder at its most basic function takes digital and analog audio and video inputs, and
processes the signals and then encodes them into digital IP video formats. Then the Cisco Digital
Media Encoder 2000 delivers the IP audio and video content to a storage device or streams it over an
IP network.
There are four requirements for setting up the Cisco Digital Media Encoder 2000 for streaming or
capturing video, as follows:
• AC power source (100-240v)
• Audio/Video source (camera, video player, or other A/V output device)
