iPump6400 User’s Manual
800009-01 Rev. B 8 wegener.com
1.2 iPump6400 Overview
The Wegener iPump6400 is an integrated, digital satellite receiver, decoder,
and media server designed to provide the most cost effective method of deliv-
ering and storing digital content for broadcast, cable, and business operations.
The iPump6400 is a key part of the Wegener Communications Digital Media
Delivery System which combines secure MPEG and IP digital transmission
with media management and server storage. At a given time, up to 260 hours
of media content can be stored on a single iPump6400 (with optional, large
disk capacity) and served out via Ethernet according to current need or prede-
termined schedules.
With the iPump6400, you can receive, decode, and play out broadcast-quality
transmissions while at the same time receiving from satellite and recording
multiple programs or IP data files. Combined with our Compel MediaPlan
software, the iPump6400 can also place spot segments into real-time or
recorded programs and can schedule playback of custom sequences of live and
recorded content.
Physical
Description The iPump6400 is housed in a standard, 2 RU, rack-mountable chassis. Its
front panel provides a user interface through an LCD and six push buttons (see
Figure 3.1 iPump6400 Front Panel on page 30). The rear panel holds the
power switch and the ports that allow connection to power, incoming signal,
and peripheral devices.
Functional
Description Your iPump6400 can perform the following functions:
Status Monitoring
Front-panel and web browser interface screens allow real-time monitoring of
iPump6400 activity, settings, and signal characteristics.
Live Program Play
The iPump6400 decodes an incoming DVB MPEG program from the received
satellite signal. It decrypts and decodes the audio and/or video from the
selected program through analog or digital output ports to your monitor or
transmission equipment. The incoming content may be either a "classical"
DVB program or an IP multicast stream. RF and decoder settings are selected
by the user. Two live programs from the same DVB carrier may be played
simultaneously by iPump6400s that have the optional second decoder.
Record Program to File
The iPump6400 can simultaneously record up to three separate multiplexed
programs (either "classical" DVB or IP multicast stream) from the incoming
stream including any that are played live to the decoder(s). The user selects the

iPump6400 User’s Manual

B
programs and enters a file name, audio setting, and a recording time (duration)
for each. Files are recorded to disk in the iPump6400 for later play-out or
downloading. Up to 40 GB of storage (up to 43.3 hours of programming
depending on data rate) is available on standard iPump6400s and up to 240 GB
on optional, extended-storage iPump6400s (see Disk Storage Capacity).
Record and play functions can be used in such applications as "tape delay"/
time zone shifting, "spot" localization of commercials, and corporate training
media distribution.
Play Recorded Program File
The iPump6400 plays out the selected, stored program files to the connected
audio and video monitors. File playing may be initiated by a predetermined
schedule via Compel or by a schedule stored internally to the iPump6400. The
user may also command playing of files directly from a web browser or from
the front panel. Two recorded programs (or one recorded and one live) may be
played simultaneously on iPump6400s with an optional second decoder.
File Management
Compel users can rename or delete files stored on the iPump6400 and organize
them into directories or folders. Renaming and deleting files may also be per-
formed through a web browser connected to the iPump6400 over a LAN.
Playlists
Sequences of programs called Playlists can be created and stored on the
iPump6400 by the user (locally or by COMPEL). Up to 100 Playlists can be
stored in nonvolatile memory and played back with no interruption between
programs. Settings can be made to repeat the playlist indefinitely, complete the
playlist and repeat only the last program indefinitely, or complete the playlist
and simply return the decoder to its previous state.
Routing
The iPump6400 can serve as a satellite-to-LAN IP router. Both unicast and
multicast IP traffic is supported.
Multicast traffic can include, for example,
MPEG video streaming data. The IGMP protocol is followed for multicast traffic.
Stream Creation
The iPump6400 can create IP multicast video streams and present them on the
LAN for use by other equipment. The source of the video stream may be either
a prerecorded or downloaded file or a "classical" DVB program.

iPump6400 User’s Manual
800009-01 Rev. B 10 wegener.com
The iPump6400 can also multicast previously-stored streams to the LAN. See
Figure 1.1 iPump6400 Routing for an illustration of iPump6400 routing
paths.
Figure 1.1 iPump6400 Routing
Scheduled Operation
Schedules of record, play, and other operations for automatic execution by the
iPump6400 may be set up using the Compel network and may be viewed from
the web browser interface. (Schedule operations support wild cards and ranges
in day, date, and time fields for repetitive events.)
File Downloads
The iPump6400 accepts files downloaded from the satellite link via Compel’s
Assured File Delivery package. Application software and other files may also
be downloaded. Up to five downloads may be performed simultaneously up to
an aggregate data rate of 25 Mbps.
The iPump6400's file download and record functions may be used to load the
unit with content for playout (according to a pre-arranged schedule if desired)
at any time. This can be particularly useful in applications with extended or
continuous playout needs and limited satellite operating times.

Files Served to LAN
Users sharing a LAN with the iPump6400 may download stored files from the
iPump6400 to their local workstation or server using FTP or SMB protocol.
Compel Control
iPump6400 operation may be controlled remotely by a Compel network. Com-
pel conditional access controls which iPump6400s may access the satellite’s
material and prevents access by any other receive equipment. Local control of
the unit may be disabled for exclusive control by Compel. The iPump6400
always follows the most recent command received and does not prioritize com-
mands based on origination from the front panel, web browser interface, or
Compel network.
HTML Control
Control of the iPump6400 is available from any web browser on the LAN to
which it is connected or via the internet if desired. The IP address and subnet
mask can be displayed and changed at the iPump6400 front panel.
Contact Closure/Alarms
The iPump6400 provides a contact closure through a rear-panel connector
whenever the unit enters an alarm condition. An additional user relay is also
available. The iPump6400 can also sense a contact closure input. Using Com-
pel, file playouts can be triggered by local closure of this input.
iPump6400
Options The iPump6400 Professional Media Server is available in several configura-
tions to meet specific applications. Input type, decoder type, disk storage
capacity, Conditional Access, and the presence of a second decoder can be var-
ied to create models best suited for your specific needs.

Chapter 2 Installation
This chapter provides instructions on unpacking, mounting, and connecting
your iPump6400 as well as connector information including detailed pinouts.
2.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully unpack the unit and its ac power cord and inspect for obvious signs
of physical damage that might have occurred during shipment. Also locate the
bag of accessories including 1/8-to-RCA and SVD-to-RCA adapters. Any
damage claims must be reported to the carrier immediately. Be sure to check
the package contents carefully for important documents and materials.
NOTE: Please save the packing materials and original shipping containers in
case you must later return the unit for repair. Packing these units in other
containers in such a way that they are damaged will void your warranty.
2.2 Location and Mounting
The iPump6400 should be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack.
After mounting, maintain a clean, dry environment for the unit.
WARNING
This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause

DANGER
To avoid damage to this and other equipment, or personal injury, the following
items should be strictly observed.
Elevated Operating Ambient
When equipment is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the
operating ambient of the rack environment may be greater than the room
ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to the ambient air
temperature within the rack, and not just inside the room, when deciding if the
maximum recommended ambient operating temperature (TMRA) is being met.
Reduced Air Flow
Equipment should be installed such that airflow required for safe operation of
the equipment is not compromised. The iPump6400 may be arranged in a
rack without empty spaces between units if heat rise is prevented by ensuring
its side vents remain unblocked with adequate clearance around the vent
holes.
Mechanical Loading
Mounting of the equipment in a rack should be such that a hazardous
condition is not produced by uneven loading. This unit is not very heavy, but
total rack loading must be considered. Also, do not rest any unsupported
equipment on your iPump6400.
Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the
supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits could have on
overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Ensure that the total rack or breaker
power consumption does not exceed the limits of the ac branch circuit.
Appropriate consideration of equipment ratings should be used when
addressing this concern.
Reliable Earthing
Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections
to the branch circuit (use of power strips, chassis ground lugs, etc.).
