DMR HD Introduction &
Overview
Introduction
Welcome to the user’s guide for the MediaPOINTE®
DMR HD. The DMR HD is one of the easiest to use, most
cost-effective and reliable archiving and streaming
products on the market today. It can archive important
audio, video, and graphical data while simultaneously
transmitting it anywhere on your network.
This user’s guide describes how to set up and use
the DMR HD to record and transport graphics, video
and audio content over IP networks. As with all
MediaPOINTE AV-over-IP products, you can control the
DMR HD by different methods. These methods include,
Web Portal interface, remote control, contact closure,
RS-232 serial port, Telnet, or from the convenient front
keypad controls.
This guide is written for units running 3.0 software.
If the DMR HD is operating on a different version of
software, some capabilities and screenshots may be
different.

How It Works (Method of Operation)
The DMR HD can archive and stream video and audio
media. The DMR HD accepts DVI-D, analog RGBHV,
S-Video, composite video, and unbalanced line level
stereo audio inputs. The selected input source along
with the associated audio is captured into an MPEG-4
Advanced Simple Profile (ASP) file which, if desired,
can be simultaneously streamed live over your network
during the archival process.
Users can select from several configurable parameters
(profiles) for capturing and subsequent playback
of the recorded material. These profiles are fully
configurable, allowing the user to specify the input
source, capture resolution, bit and frame rates.
The archived recordings are stored on the DMR HD’s
hard drive. The recorded file can then be viewed on
your PC or replayed directly from the DMR HD on a local
monitor if desired. The content can also be copied to
a USB memory stick, burned to DVD-R, DVD+R or CD-R
disk, downloaded to a PC, attached to an e-mail, or
automatically transferred (FTP) to a server after the
file has been indexed.
The DMR HD records content in standard MPEG-4 ASP,
which can be played on a variety of desktop client
players including Quicktime®.
