Mediastar 782-LT User manual

Company-wide deployments of 782-LT units can be
congured and monitored using the Media Manager
software, with its easy ‘automatic device discovery’ and
‘drag and drop’ interface.
The 782-LT has been designed to be deployed
throughout a corporate environment with high reliability
and low maintenance as priorities.
It is a fully ‘static’ hardware platform (no disks, no
fans) built around a Linux OS, and has been designed
specically to be situated close to the display screen.
It provides a HDCP protected HDMI video output,
together with internal ash storage, USB2 port for
local connectivity and PoE power. The unit supports
HDCP Professional when used with a suitably enabled
MediaStar 798 Encoder.
The MediaStar 782-LT Digital Media Player is
a fully featured video and audio media player,
specically designed for corporate, sports, digital
signage and other commercial applications.
It can output 4K pictures that come from live
IP streams, web pages, locally stored video le
content or content from a corporate video server.

10. Use only with the bracket specied by the manufacturer, or
sold with the apparatus.
11. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.
12. Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel. Servicing

PARTS WITHIN A MEDIASTAR 782-LT UNIT
200-2443 V1

Installation
1. When locating the 782-LT unit, ensure that a clearance
distance of 25mm (1”) is maintained around the unit to
provide sucient ventilation airow. Items that could
accidentally block the ventilation grills or impede the
cooling airow must not be located near the unit.
2. The 782-LT must not be installed where there is a
possibility of exposure to condensation, dripping or
splashing liquids. Containers lled with uid should not
be located in the vicinity of this unit. Do not x the 782-
LT to any surface which is a heat source that may cause
the unit to over-heat.
3. Connect the 782-LT unit to the display using an HDMI
cable. Ensure this cable is inserted into the 782’s HDMI
OUTPUT port. All connectors are clearly labelled on the
rear face of the unit.
4. If the 782-LT is to be operated by a user using a
MediaStar Infra-Red (IR) remote control (model 710-IR
(ordered separately), either
a) Ensure the built-in IR receiver on the side of the 782-
LT is visible, or
b) Fit a remote IR receiver module (model 911-4154,
ordered separately). The IR receiver should be mounted
in a visible position, facing away from the screen and be
plugged into the IR RX 3.5mm jack socket in the 782- LT.
If necessary, the 911-4154 cable can be extended up
to 10m using a standard 3.5mm 4 pole male to female
extender cable.
5. Power on the 782-LT by connecting it to the network
using the CAT5 SFTP cable supplied or another
equivalent cable of appropriate length. The 782-LT will
then negotiate a class 0/4 power supply connection with
the PoE power supply equipment. Check that the status
LED is lit.
6. When using HDMI, the 782-LT will automatically
select the highest possible picture resolution that the
display and 782-LT both support. You can congure
a dierent resolution via the on-board browser
conguration menus.
The LEDs on the network connector will illuminate to
indicate there is a valid network connection. The orange
RJ45 LED indicates a network link has been established,
and the (ashing) green LED shows network activity.
The 782-LT is supplied with DHCP enabled, so by default,
it will negotiate a valid IP address setting with a DHCP
server. If no DHCP server is present, the unit should be
congured with a static IP address. If required, the 782’s
MAC address is printed on the model label on the rear
face of the unit.

Installation
To set a static IP address on the 782-LT, use the IR
remote control (model 710-IR) to show the on-screen
setup menus. Press the menu (or home) button to show
the Media list and then use the arrow up cursor key
to show the setup menus. Navigate to the Advanced/
Conguration-Congure Network-IP address setting
menus to set the IP address details. Ensure that all
static IP address details (netmask, gateway etc.), are in
accordance with the settings provided by the network
system administrator.
7. Once the 782-LT is connected on the network, its
advanced conguration options may be setup using a
networked computer running a standard web-browser.
In the web browser (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox,
Safari) enter the IP address of the 782-LT into the
navigation address bar. The browser will then show the
conguration web pages from the 782-LT unit, starting
with the specication page. The main conguration web
pages can be accessed by clicking on the menu link on
the left hand side of the screen. Context sensitive help
is shown on the right hand side in case further help is
required with setup.
It is recommended that the following (minimum)
settings are congured at time of installation:
a) Unit name (in Operating Mode menu) – This should
reect the physical location of the unit, preferably in line
with a system wide naming convention. This name of
the unit will be shown in the Media Manager software.
b) Date/Time – For most accurate timekeeping,
congure the unit to use a corporate or internet NTP
time server (a commonly used internet time server is
pool.ntp.org). If this is not available, set the date and
time manually. The date/time will be retained and
updated throughout a power outage of up to 3 days.
8. The media accessible on the display is controlled from
the Media Manager software. When the Media Manager
server software is installed and running, it should
automatically detect a new 782-LT unit and create a new
‘icon’ for it. Media can then be assigned to the 782-LT
by ‘dragging and dropping’ live streams, stored les etc.
onto the 782-LT icon. The 782-LT will then be instructed
to download or access the specied media and start
showing it on the display as requested by the user.
If the 782-LT is not automatically recognised by the
Media manager software, then:
a) Use a browser to go onto the 782’s web page menus
and enter <MM server IP address>/MediaManagerUp-
dates/cong (without < or >) into the Cong File Location
eld and click on Apply. Creating this direct connection
to the Media Manager server should cause the 782’s
icon to be created. The network connectivity from the
782-LT to the Media Manager server can be checked
by checking the ‘Check update locations’ tick box and
pressing the apply button.
b) In Media Manager, manually create a 782-LT icon, by
right-clicking on the workspace and selecting the Create/
Endpoint/782-LT option. This allows the IP address of
the 782-LT to be manually specied, so Media Manager
can then try and connect directly to the 782-SL unit.
It is essential for the 782-LT to be able to communicate
with a Media Manager server to be able to initially
congure or then change the user selectable media.
