Home > SPR1100 Handbook > Introduction
Introduction
The Unit is a flexible platform consisting of a base unit or chassis into which between one
and six Media Processing Modules (MPMs) can be plugged. The base unit provides an
Ethernet control interface, and Ethernet data interfaces, it also provides transport stream
processing functionality. Other functionality such as video / audio transcoding, or other
input or output interfaces are provided by the media processing modules.
License Keys
License Keys control the availability of some of the features accessible from the unit and are
issued to a specific chassis, not a module, and are held within the chassis.
Base Chassis
This section introduces the chassis and describes the functions associated with the host
controller.
Media Processing Module (MPM)
The following media processing module is available:
MPM1 HD/SD Transcoder
This provides high quality MPEG-2 and H.264 Video transcoding, and multi-standard
audio transcoding.

License Keys
Overview
License Keys control the availability of some features and are issued to a specific base unit
not a media processing module, even if the functionality being enabled is provided by a
module.
Features
License Keys consist of a feature, and the number of instances of this feature that are
allowed within the chassis.
License Keys are allocated on a ‘first configured first served’ basis within the chassis. If an
attempt is made to enable a feature, but the required license key is not available then the
feature is not enabled, and a log message is generated.
When a function that has a license associated with it is disabled, the license key is released
within 1 second, and therefore available to be re-allocated .
Verifying which licenses are present in the Unit
Access to the transcoder web pages is necessary to verify the licenses that are enabled on
the unit.
Navigate to Configure > Licenses. This page displays the marketing code, number of
each license and a description of the feature enabled by the license.
Ordering Additional Licenses.
N.B. License keys are unit-specific. They cannot be loaded onto a different unit.
When ordering additional licenses for existing units the following information is needed:
Unique Chip ID of the unit is required to generate the key.
This is retrieved by navigating to the following web page :
Configure > System > Base Unit > Advanced
The Chip ID value is displayed just beneath the diagram of the transcoder.
1.
The TOTAL FINAL number of ALL types of license required (including licenses already2.

enabled on the unit) needs to be provided.
2.
The above information is used to generate a new license key file, which then needs to be
loaded onto the appropriate unit.
Entering License Keys
The keys are saved in an XML file (newlicensedetail.xml) ready to be entered onto the unit
via the web page
Browse to: Configure > Licenses
In the license box enter the license filename and select upload.
NOTE:
The front panel CANNOT be used to enter license keys!

Base Chassis
Overview
The base chassis provides the control interfaces, the data Ethernet ports, data routing
between the Ethernet ports, control software running on the base chassis, and the modules
slots. It also provides the ability to generate MPEG-2 transport streams from elementary
streams received from the modules.
The following is a summary of the features of the base chassis:
19" 1 ‘RU’ rack mount chassis.
Front panel LCD and keypad for limited control and status reporting.
Tri-colour LED to indicate chassis health.
Dual redundant Ethernet control ports.
Two pairs of dual redundant Ethernet ports for data input and output.
Single or dual AC power supply variants.
Single or dual DC power supply variants.
6 module slots (single AC or DC PSU chassis) or 4 module slots (dual AC or DC PSU
chassis)
Modules are ‘hot swappable’
