MediaPorts with Graphic capability

Playout and ingest is similar to Mediaport 7000 Series products:-
−2 bidirectional channels
−HD/SD DV record and play
−MPEG-2 play
−Up/down/cross-conversion
−2 independent outputs per channel
Multiple codec playout/ingest depending on the license and module
purchase,

Pluggable modules in any combination

Improved I/O (dual outputs, dedicated LTC)
High density and low power consumption
Cross-conversion on every channel

−Every HD-capable Channelport/MediaPort 7000 Series includes cross-
conversion (playout of 720p material on a 1080i channel, and vice-
versa)
−Imposes no extra load on the system
Simulcast on every channel
−SD-only MediaPorts include 2 identical outputs
−HD-capable MediaPorts include 2 independently-configurable outputs
• SD in same frame rate family
• HD 720p
• HD 1080i
Hot-Pluggable I/O modules
−True 2-channel increment
Under “Attached devices” on a Video Track of a player

Each module is independent

−Within a module, each channel is independent, except that they
share the module’s reference source
Different model modules can be mixed in a chassis
Modules are hot-pluggable
−Removal or installation does not affect other module in chassis
Hot-pluggable power supplies

−Single supply can power both modules indefinitely
−Removal or installation of supply does not affect on-air operation
Hot-pluggable independent modules
−Failure of a module affects at most 2 channels
−Removal or installation of module does not affect other module
Module can be added to empty slot at any time
−4 channels per RU with 2-channel granularity
Front panel display shows module status at a glance
−Very useful during installation “debugging”
Bezel with display can be replaced without removing entire unit
−Slide unit forward 5cm, remove 2 screws, unplug/replace bezel
−Unit remains operational
To operate the Channelport, will need:

Spectrum Release 7.1 and later + SystemManager 5.24 and later
It is possible the MIP’s license key is incorrect

Contact Harmonic support and request a license key
Provide us the serial number of the module and the license key needed
(e.g. MIP-7100-M2H)
Copy the license file to D:\Licenses
Go to System Manger GUI, MIP properties page
Click upgrade
Reboot the MediaPort
MIP-7000s take 8 mins or more to boot up when firmware

has to load
Use the monitor window to watch the boot progress
Important : If firmware is loading and you power cycle or
try reboot the unit again, you will corrupt the code and the
MediaPort won’t work. Need to RMA the unit
