This guide explains the setup of a Daktronics “Big Stream 1” system.
This system adds another Digital Media Player (DMP) into an existing
1- or 4-input video control rack. The additional DMP provides an NDI
(Network Device Interface) video output to a compatible customer-
provided streaming device. For more information about setup or
operation of the existing control rack, refer to the documentation
provided with that rack. Refer also to the following YouTube playlist:

Site-specic diagrams may also be available; these will take
precedence over any general instructions found in this guide.
Contact the Daktronics Standard Order Project Manager (SOPM) or
Standard Order Project Coordinator (SOPC) to ask if any site-specic
drawings exist for the project.
Equipment Setup
Non-Rack-Mount
Follow the instructions below if the new DMP will not be mounted into
the existing video control rack (for portability/multi-use facilities).
1. Unpack all items and verify everything from the Bill of Materials
(BOM) is included.
2. Locate the DMP unit (part # 0A-1453-7230), and set it in the
desired temporary location (within 25' of the existing control rack).
3. Connect the DMP power cord into an available outlet on the
rack power strip or nearest wall outlet.
4. Connect either the 5' (part # W-1506) or 25' (part # W-4638308)
Cat5 network cable between the left network jack on the DMP to
an open jack on the network router in the rack.
Rack-Mount
Follow the instructions below if the new DMP is to be mounted into
the existing video control rack.
1. Unpack all items and verify everything from the Bill of Materials
(BOM) is included.
2. Locate the DMP unit (part # 0A-1453-7230) and mounting tray.
• 1-input racks require a half-rack
tray (part # EN-2843).
• 4-input racks require a full-rack
tray (part # EN-2842) and a
half-rack ller panel (part # EN-2844).
3. Mount the DMP unit to the appropriate mounting tray using the
rear thumbscrews. For 4-input racks, also install the half-rack ller
panel into the front-right slot of the tray if desired.
4. Remove the front ller panel from the existing rack directly below
the existing player(s) and processor(s), and then install the DMP
tray into the open space using the same screws.
5. Connect the power cord (part # W-1532) between the DMP and
an available outlet on the rack power strip or nearest wall outlet.
6. Connect the 5' Cat5 network cable (part # W-1506) between
the left network jack on the DMP to an open jack on the network
router in the rack.
Note: An Internet
(WAN) connection
into the network
router in the rack is
required to output
the streaming
video online.

Reusing Existing Content
In general, Daktronics recommends creating new content specically
for streaming using the correct output resolutions (720p = 720 x 1280
or 1080p = 1080 x 1920).
Depending on the size and aspect ratio of existing display content,
it may be possible to reuse the les for streaming. Otherwise, the
content may still need to be recreated. For example, if you have
a small 132 x 176 display with a 4:3 aspect ratio, streaming its
content will not only cause pixelation due to upscaling, it will also be
stretched to t the width, giving it more of a squished appearance:
Before
132 x 176 (4:3)
After
720 x 1280 (16:9)
#8#8
JACOBSJACOBS
MICHELLEMICHELLE
However, if you already have a display with a 16:9 aspect ratio, the
content will better t the aspect ratio of the streaming output. The
content can still become pixelated, depending on how much it
needs to upscale, but this can work if time or resources are limited
before a scheduled event.

NDI Output to Streaming Device
This section describes an optional method of streaming the NDI
output from the Big Stream DMP via a TriCaster. Other devices/
software may be used instead as long as they accept the NDI video
source. If the streaming device does not accept NDI, the NDI output
must be converted to a video input that the streaming device can
accept using a converter such as the BirdDog NDI Encoder/Decoder.
Note: The streaming device must be connected into an open jack
on the network router in the control rack.
In typical Daktronics video control systems, the TriCaster acts as
a switcher for up to 4 video inputs. For the Big Stream system, the
TriCaster Mini may also function as the streaming device. For more
information about connections to the TriCaster, refer to Page 5.
Capturing the NDI Output
Each monitor on the TriCaster workspace can be congured to show
any input or output. There are multiple virtual inputs that can be set
to the NDI feed from the DMP.
1. Open the TriCaster program and start the desired session.
2. Right click an unused monitor, such as GFX1, and go to Inputs >
INPUT 5.
3. Click the gear icon in the lower-right of the Input 5 monitor to
open the input settings.
a. In the Source drop-down list, select D8STREAM-P and then
NDI-0.
b. Expand the Name/Comment section. Rename Video
to D8STREAM and Button to DMP, and add a descriptive
Comment as desired.
c. Click Close when nished.
Note: If content is playing out of the DMP, it will appear in the
D8STREAM monitor.
