2 The AvediaPlayer r92xx Series Receivers
General
The AvediaPlayer r92xx series receivers are network devices which display an IP network
delivered MPEG-2 transport stream (TS) on a television or display. Streams from Exterity
TVgateway, Encoder and AvediaServer products are supported, as well as streams from some
third party products.
All AvediaPlayer r92xx series receivers provide the following AV outputs:
Video: HDMI v1.3a* 720p, 1080i & 1080p @ 50Hz, 59.94Hz or 60 Hz
Audio: HDMI v1.3a* (8 channel PCM or Bitstream), TOS (2 channel PCM or
Bitstream)
The AvediaPlayer r9210 provides additional analogue video and audio outputs. The r9220
incorporates a LAN switch providing 3 additional LAN connections and VLAN support. Refer to
AvediaPlayer Physical Interfaces on page 14.
*HDMI interface supports all features of v1.3a except deep color, enhanced colorimetry (xvYCC, gamut metadata),
and DST/DSD audio features
Note: Streams from the older iSocket TVgateway are not currently supported.
This chapter contains the following sections:
Power
Network Considerations
Stream Playback
Audio Decoding
Channel Discovery
Remote Control
AvediaPlayer r9200 Receiver
AvediaPlayer r9210 Receiver
AvediaPlayer r9220 Receiver
Device Administration
Physical Location
Receiver Development Kit (RDK)
Power
The receiver can be powered through the network interface by Power over Ethernet (PoE)
using any LAN Switch or Mid-span device meeting 802.3af PoE specifications. If this is not
available, it can be powered using an external power supply available from Exterity. Refer to
Physical Interfaces on page 14 for further details.
Network Considerations
The Exterity receiver is a network device designed to accept IP multicast streams from Exterity
TVgateways, Encoders and AvediaServers. In order for this to work satisfactorily, it is vital that
the network switches are multicast-enabled in order to prevent unwanted flooding of traffic on
the network.
For these purposes, “Multicast-enabled” is understood to mean that all network switches carry
out IGMP snooping, and one switch must function as the IGMP querier.
Exterity receivers support version 2 and 3 of IGMP.

AvediaPlayer r92xx series V1.1
10 Administrator‟s Guide
Stream Playback
The AvediaPlayer receiver can play video carried in an MPEG-2 transport stream over a UDP
or RTP transport. Multicast streams, unicast streams, and HTTP playback are supported.
It is also possible to play onDemand streams, using RTSP to set up the stream.
In all cases the receiver is capable of playing streams with video format:
MPEG-4 Part 10 (H.264/AVC)
MPEG-4 Part 2 Simple Profile
MPEG-2
Audio Decoding
Audio streams can be MPEG-1 layer II audio, AC3/EAC3, and AAC/ HE-AAC. These streams
can be decoded and output via TOS and HDMI, or with the AvediaPlayer r9210, Stereo audio.
Channel Discovery
The default mechanism of channel discovery used is to listen for SAP announcements from
Exterity streaming products and other third-party streaming equipment.
It is also possible to use an XML channel list hosted on a web server.
Refer to Setting Channel Learning of page 55 for more details.
Remote Control
Infra Red (IR) and tethered Remote Control handsets are available to allow user control of the
receiver for common functions such as selecting channels and controlling volume. An IR
extender is available to allow IR remote control of the receiver when the front panel IR window
is obscured.
The remote control default button functions are described in Remote Control on page 19. It is
possible for the administrator to alter/disable the use of the function buttons, allowing the
remote control capability to be customised to the needs of a particular installation. For
example, the HOME button could be disabled if the use the web browser is not required.
Configuring Remote Functions on page 66 shows you how to configure button functions.
AvediaPlayer r9200 Receiver
The AvediaPlayer r9200 features a single Ethernet port and an HDMI output in a compact form
factor and the lowest power consumption of the r92xx series receivers.
AvediaPlayer r9210 Receiver
The AvediaPlayer r9210 receiver provides additional support for analogue video and audio
outputs. Rear panel connections provide support for HD component, SD composite, SD S-
Video, SD RGBS and analogue stereo outputs.
AvediaPlayer r9220 Receiver
The AvediaPlayer 9220 receiver has an internal Ethernet switch, allowing three additional
network devices to be connected to the network through the receiver.
The receiver must be connected to the network switch using the port marked Ethernet 1
(POE). The ports marked Ethernet 2, 3, and 4 can be used for other network devices, for
example, a computer or IP phone.
The AvediaPlayer r9220 receiver allows the use of 802.1q VLANs on its switch ports. Refer to
VLAN Configuration on page 42 for more information.

AvediaPlayer r92xx series V1.1
Administrator‟s Guide 11
Device Administration
An AvediaPlayer r92xx series receiver can be configured and managed using one of four
mechanisms:
Web Interface: Allows full configuration of device capabilities.
AvediaServer Director: An AvediaServer based application uses SNMP to provide
device monitoring and management of a subset of device capabilities.
IPTV Manager: Windows application uses SNMP to allow a subset of device
capabilities to be managed.
Admin Interface: Allows fundamental capabilities of the device to be configured
through the serial admin port.
The following sections of this manual describe device configuration and management using
the above mechanisms.
Physical Location
AvediaPlayer receivers are typically located close to, or attached to the connected TV or
display device. Mounting kits enable you to securely mount any AvediaPlayer r92xx series
receiver to a television and display, or to a wall or under a surface such as a desk or shelf.
Tethered or Infra Red extensions are available if the installation causes the IR window to be
obscured. Refer to Using the Mounting Kits on page 23 for more information. Consult your
Exterity sales representative for details of the available AvediaPlayer r92xx series installation
accessories.
Receiver Development Kit (RDK)
The Receiver Development Kit (RDK) is a platform that enables Exterity partners to create
customised solutions using third-party applications such as middleware.
Third-party applications can control the Exterity receiver through:
The JavaScript API
The telnet control interface
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) interface
The JavaScript API gives programmers extensive control of the AvediaPlayer receiver and
also provides a mechanism for sending customised JavaScript events to the integrated
browser. JavaScript programmers can also use Exterity extensions to access commonly-used
functions such as changing channels, controlling volume, and video fast forwarding.
Contact your Exterity sales representative if you need price and availability information of the
Receiver Development Kit.

3 Getting Started
Connect an AvediaPlayer r92xx series receiver to your SD/HD TV or display device and view
any multicast MPEG transport stream available on your building, campus or metropolitan area
network.
The following procedures should be performed for the AvediaPlayer receiver to perform
correctly. These procedures are summarised in this section:
1. Attach the AvediaPlayer to a Display or Surface
A variety of mounting brackets for the AvediaPlayer r92xx series receivers are available to
enable secure attachment to your display or desk. Refer to Using the Mounting Kits on page
23 for more information.
2. Connect to the Display Device
You must connect the AvediaPlayer to a suitable display device such as an HD TV or display.
All AvediaPlayer r92xx series receivers support up to 1080p at 60Hz via the HDMI connector.
Additional analogue outputs are supported by the AvediaPlayer r9210.
Refer to Rear Panel Interfaces on page 15 for connection details.
3. Powering the AvediaPlayer Receiver
All AvediaPlayer r92xx series receivers are PoE enabled devices. They can be powered using
any LAN Switch or Mid-span device meeting 802.3af PoE specifications. If this is not available,
use the external power supply available from Exterity.
Note: The External Power Supply must be ordered as an accessory (avply-psu-##) with the
country specific power cord. Consult your Exterity sales representative for more information.
CAUTION: The AvediaPlayer r92xx series receivers are not compatible with Exterity idaptor
(idapt-psXX) power supplies.
4. Connect to the Network
Connect the AvediaPlayer receiver to the network using the ETHERNET connection on the
rear panel of the device. On the AvediaPlayer r9220, connect to ETHERNET 1 (POE). Do not
connect your network cable to the SERIAL connection.
If your network is active, the Ethernet SPD and LINK LEDs behave as described in
ETHERNET on page16.
5. Configure the IP Address of the AvediaPlayer Receiver
By default, the AvediaPlayer receiver requires a DHCP Server to be available on the network
to assign it an IP address.
There are two methods of assigning a static IP address to the receiver, if required:
Use the serial Admin Interface to configure the IP address. For more information refer
to Admin Interface on page 68.
Temporarily set up a DHCP server on an isolated network. Once an IP address is
assigned to the receiver, you can configure a static IP address using the Web
Management Interface. See Network Configuration on page 40.
Allocating a static IP address for the encoder allows continued operation without a DHCP
Server.

AvediaPlayer r92xx series V1.1
Administrator‟s Guide 13
6. Configure Name and Location
Specify a name and location for the AvediaPlayer receiver so that you can easily identify and
locate it in the future. You can configure a name and location using the AvediaServer Director
(shown on page 33), IPTV Manager (shown on page 34), or the Web Management Interface
General page (shown on page 35).
7. Configure Receiver Properties
The default settings for the AvediaPlayer receiver enable it to discover SAP announced
transport streams on your network and display the channel on a connected TV or display.
However, you can configure the receiver to meet specific requirements such as display device
capabilities, channel listing and access control, and browser and EPG IP addresses. These
are configured using the Web Interface and described in Chapter 8 - General Device
Management on page 37 and Chapter 9 - Configuring the AvediaPlayer Receiver, starting on
page 49.
8. Checking Status
You can check the operating status of the AvediaPlayer receiver simply by checking the
displayed content on the connected TV or display. If you do not have access to the display
device, examine the Receive % value in the Ethernet Stats section of the Network page in the
Web Interface: a 3-15% activity indicates the receiver is accepting a video channel.

Inserting Batteries
The batteries for the IR Remote Control are shipped separately. If the batteries in the remote
control become exhausted, they should be replaced with two AAA sized replacements. Ideally
use carbon zinc (R03) replacement batteries. Alkaline (LR03) batteries may be used but offer
no advantage. Do not mix batteries of different types or age.
WARNING: "Ultra" or "plus" batteries, especially those containing lithium (FR03), must not be
installed in the IR Remote Control.
To insert new AAA disposable batteries:
1. On the back of the IR Remote Control, pull the tab down on the battery compartment lid to
detach it from the controller.
2. Insert two new AAA (R03 or LR03) batteries. Orient the batteries so that the positive (+)
and negative (–) ends are positioned as shown by the diagram on the bottom of the
battery compartment.
3. Relocate the battery compartment lid and push in to close.
