Page 22: Chapter 3 Welcome
Some DMPs differ from others, for example, in their support for interactivity through touch. To learn what your DMP supports, see its datasheet at http://cisco.com/go/dms/dmp/datasheets. DMPs are a major component of Cisco Digital Media Suite (Cisco DMS) and Cisco StadiumVision, both of which we describe elsewhere in this guide.
Page 23: Tvzilla
Cisco Hinter is software to prepare and stage MPEG files for interleaved RTP transmission through the open source Darwin Streaming Server component on a Cisco Digital Media Manager (DMM) appliance.
Page 24: Optional Dmp Accessories
Cisco Unified Communications Manager administrators can configure a service through which Cisco IP Phones and mobile phones can emulate a remote control. Phone users can then operate the IPTV features of Cisco Cast. To learn how to configure this service and use it, see the Cisco Cast documentation on Cisco.com.
Page 25: Consider How You Will Use And Manage Your Dmp
DMP in isolation, you use DMPDM to configure it and control its daily operation. Or, you can deploy multiple DMPs throughout a LAN or WAN. In this case, you use Cisco Digital Media Manager or Cisco StadiumVision to configure and manage your DMPs centrally.
Page 26: Centrally Manage Digital Signage Services
Concepts Centrally Manage Digital Signage Services Cisco Digital Signs provides a flexible environment in which to create and centrally manage a local, regional, or global IP network of DMPs and their attached presentation systems, such as Cisco-branded displays in our LCD Professional series.
Page 27: Centrally Manage Sports And Entertainment Venue Services
Platform services software and control panels help you to manage a network of DMPs. Combined with Cisco video acquisition infrastructure at the head-end, these DMPs use new and existing video displays in your venue to enhance patron enjoyment of live events and deliver in-house advertising. Your deployment can leverage the displays in bleachers (terraces), restaurants, clubs, and luxury suites to deliver a range of uniquely interactive messages automatically to patrons in various areas.

Page 29: Dmp 4310G Notice Regarding Power Over Ethernet (Poe)
DMPs might not receive full PoE power. Suppose that a very long Ethernet cable connects the DMP 4310G to a network switch from the Cisco 3560 Series. And suppose also that the Ethernet cable length is so great that the level of PoE power becomes noticeably diminished after traveling its full distance to the DMP.
Page 30: Procedures
Before You Begin • Did your Cisco equipment ship with a power cord and AC adapter? Or did it ship with an AC adapter and multiple, snap-on plugs? Your packing list states which supplies Cisco planned to ship. (Alternatively, you might have purchased a Cisco power cord and AC adapter as accessories for your equipment.)

A DMP can detect automatically when some display brands and models are turned On or Off. To connect one of these displays to your DMP, you must use an RS-232 serial cable in addition to the video signal cable. Cisco Digital Signs documentation on Cisco.com explains how to use this feature in your network.
Page 36: Chapter 6 Connect To A Presentation System
This constraint does not affect a DMP 4305G or a DMP 4400G. These models do not use the same microprocessor that a DMP 4310G uses. To work around this behavior, disable the autodetect feature in DMPDM and then choose the actual resolution manually. User Guide for Cisco Digital Media Player Device Manager 5.2.x OL-15764-03...

Concepts Understand Which Displays Work Best with DMPs We certify that DMPs work as designed with Cisco LCD flat-screen displays. All displays in this series are engineered for intensive use in public settings. See http://cisco.com/go/dms/lcd. In most cases, DMPs can use displays that comply with modern, international standards. We recommend the following if you must use a third-party display.
