Daktronics Dwg-4694089 Big Stream 2 Digital Media Player User Guide

Big Stream 2 Quick Guide

This guide explains the setup of a Daktronics “Big Stream 2” system. This portable system includes a Digital Media Player (DMP) that provides an NDI (Network Device Interface) video output to a compatible customer-provided streaming device. Content is created and played using the Daktronics Show Control System. For more information about Show Control System installation, registration, or operation, refer to the documentation provided with the software. Refer also to the following YouTube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbXFr2aSrnM&list=PL2dNnauPijWWHWyn9LKphHE0SjkkkwJP3

Refer to DWG-4694089 for rack schematics and DWG-4694090 for rack specifications. Site-specific diagrams may also be available; these will take precedence over any general instructions found in this guide. Contact the Daktronics Standard Order Project Manager (SOPM) or Standard Order Project Coordinator (SOPC) to ask if any site-specific drawings exist for the project.

Equipment Setup

1. Unpack all items and verify everything from the Bill of Materials (BOM) is included.

2. Place the portable control rack at the desired operator location, and remove the cover panels to access the internal components and connections.

3. Place the Show Control laptop on the top shelf of the rack case, and use the plastic clamps to hold it in place.

4. Route the supplied Cat5 network cable through the hole in the top of the rack case and connect it to the Show Control laptop’s network jack.

Notes:

• If the Show Control laptop will be located elsewhere, a 100′ Cat5 network cable is supplied for this purpose.
• An Internet (WAN) connection into the network router in the rack is required to output the streaming video online.

5. Bring a video source into the appropriate input jack on the rear of the rack.

• SDI: Connect to the SDI INPUT jack on VPP #1.
• HDMI: Connect to the HDMI IN jack on VPP #1, then connect the 15″ violet coaxial cable (part # W-3896406) between the OUT 1 jack and the SDI INPUT jack.
• Analog (Not Provided by Daktronics): If using an analog video signal, an analog-to-SDI converter will need to be sourced by the customer. Connect coaxial cable with BNC connectors between the SDI output jack on the converter and the SDI IN jack on VPP #1.

Note: The converter may have settings to adjust depending on the type of analog signal (component, composite, etc.) coming in. Refer to the documentation provided with the converter for proper input settings.

6. Plug power cords for all devices (portable control rack, Show Control laptop, monitors, etc.) into standard wall outlets.

7. After turning on the Show Control computer, ensure it is licensed. Refer to the Show Control Software Licensing Quick Guide (DD1785842), available online at www.daktronics.com/manuals.

Config Profiles

The system ships configured with a 720p output by default.
To change the output resolution to 1080p:

1. Open a web browser and go to http://192.168.0.237/#profiles to access the DMP-8000 Config Profiles window.

Note: If asked to enter login credentials, the defaults are Username: vnet and Password: dakpassv.

2. Select 1080p NDI Output.

3. Click Continue when the confirmation message opens.

4. Wait for the player to restart. A green check mark indicates when the process is completed.

Reusing Existing Content

In general, Daktronics recommends creating new content specifically for streaming using the correct output resolutions (720p = 720 x 1280 or 1080p = 1080 x 1920).

Depending on the size and aspect ratio of existing display content, it may be possible to reuse the files for streaming. Otherwise, the content may still need to be recreated. For example, if you have a small 132 x 176 display with a 4:3 aspect ratio, streaming its content will not only cause pixelation due to upscaling, it will also be stretched to fit the width, giving it more of a squished appearance:

1. Before
   132 x 176 (4:3)
2. After
   720 x 1280 (16:9)

However, if you already have a display with a 16:9 aspect ratio, the content will better fit the aspect ratio of the streaming output. The content can still become pixelated, depending on how much it needs to upscale, but this can work if time or resources are limited before a scheduled event.

Optional TriCaster Mini Setup

Refer to the instructions below and DWG-4715862 to set up the optional TriCaster Mini switcher and replay system. For more information, also refer to the TriCaster User Guide (http://new.tk/Manual-TC1-V2).

1. Remove the TriCaster Mini, Launchpad Mini, mouse, keyboard, and power adapters from the travel case. Set up this equipment – and the TimeWarp device – within 25′ of the control rack.

2. Place one 22″ ViewSonic monitor at the Replay operator location and the other 22″ ViewSonic monitor at the TriCaster switcher operator location. Both monitors should be within 6′ of the TriCaster Mini.

3. Make the following connections to the TriCaster Mini:

a. Connect BNC cables from up to four cameras to VIDEO IN 1-4.

b. Connect the 25′ BNC cable (part # W-1971) between a VIDEO OUT jack and the SDI INPUT jack on the rear of the rack.

c. Connect the 1/8″-to-1/4″ adapter into the 1/8″ TriCaster operator monitor audio cable, and then plug the adapter into the PHONES jack. The other end of the audio cable connects to the monitor’s AUDIO IN jack.

d. If there is an audio system, connect the 25′ 1/4″-to-XLR cable (part # W-4717001) between the AUDIO OUT L jack and an available input on the audio mixer.

e. Plug the supplied mouse, keyboard, TimeWarp, and Launchpad Mini devices into available USB ports.

f. Connect the 25′ network cable (part # W-4638308) between a NETWORK jack and an open jack on the network router in the control rack.

g. Connect one Mini-DisplayPort-to-DisplayPort adapter into one 6′ DisplayPort cable, and then plug the adapter into one of the Mini DisplayPort jacks. The other end of the cable connects to the 22″ Replay operator monitor. Repeat this to also connect the 22″ TriCaster operator monitor.

h. Connect the power adapter into the DC IN jack.

4. Plug power cords for all devices (TriCaster Mini, monitors, etc.) into standard wall outlets.

NDI Output to Streaming Device

This section describes an optional method of streaming the NDI output from the Big Stream DMP via a TriCaster. Other devices/ software may be used instead as long as they accept the NDI video source. If the streaming device does not accept NDI, the NDI output must be converted to a video input that the streaming device can accept using a converter such as the BirdDog NDI Encoder/Decoder.

Note: The streaming device must be connected into an open jack on the network router in the control rack.

In typical Daktronics video control systems, the TriCaster acts as a switcher for up to 4 video inputs. For the Big Stream system, the TriCaster Mini may also function as the streaming device. For more information about connections to the TriCaster, refer to Page 2.

Capturing the NDI Output

Each monitor on the TriCaster workspace can be configured to show any input or output. There are multiple virtual inputs that can be set to the NDI feed from the DMP.

1. Open the TriCaster program and start the desired session.

2. Right click an unused monitor, such as GFX1, and go to Inputs > INPUT 5.

3. Click the gear icon in the lower-right of the Input 5 monitor to open the input settings.

a. In the Source drop-down list, select D8STREAM-P and then NDI-0.

b. Expand the Name/Comment section. Rename Video to D8STREAM and Button to DMP, and add a descriptive Comment as desired.

c. Click Close when finished.

Note: If content is playing out of the DMP, it will appear in the D8STREAM monitor.

Streaming the NDI Output

1. Click the STREAM/ENCODE button at the top of the screen.

2. Click Source Setup.

MIX 1 is the primary output to the display*. Mix 4 is the replay mix.
MIX 2 will be used for the separate streaming mix.

a. Change MIX 2 Video to M/E 2.

b. Change STREAM 1 Video to MIX 2.

c. Adjust the Audio output source if desired.

3. Click the STREAM 1 gear icon and adjust the encoder settings as desired. The default settings should work for most applications.
Click OK when finished.

4. Check the streaming platform(s). Hover over and select the settings gear icon to log in to an account or adjust as needed.

5. Close out of all settings windows when finished.

6. Back on the main interface, select DMP on the M/E 2 bar.

Selecting DMP on the M/E 2 bar will make it the active M/E 2 source. The active M/E 2 source is MIX 2, which is the configured streaming source.

Real-Time Data (Scoring & Timing)

This type of installation will often include an All Sport® 5000 series scoreboard control console, the All Sport Pro scoring system, and/or a statistics computer for displaying Real-Time Data (RTD).

• If the All Sport is located in the same room, it may be possible to run the cables directly to the network router without J-boxes.
• If the All Sport is in a separate location, install network J-boxes and run Cat5 cable.

Refer to DWG-1053539 or DWG-4768575 for more information about connecting RTD sources into the display control network.

Note: For information on setting up real-time data for track timing, refer to the Track & Field Interfaces for Scoreboards & Displays Setup Guide (DD3059635), available online at www.daktronics.com/manuals.
