General
•
Support for DMP 4310
In Cisco StadiumVision release 1.5, only the Cisco DMP 4305 was supported. In
release 2.0, support has been added for the Cisco DMP 4310. Cisco
StadiumVision Director supports deployments of either DMP in a given venue,
but not both. To function properly, the Cisco StadiumVision Director must “know”
which type of DMPs are in the network. This information is configured in the
StadiumVision registry. For more information, see the StadiumVision Director
Management Dashboard User Guide.

Support for MPEG-4
With the addition of the Cisco DMP 4310, the Cisco StadiumVision solution can
now deliver both MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 to the video endpoints. Changes have
been made to the head end design (additional encoder choices, removal of the
transcoder for DirecTV feeds) to incorporate MPEG-4 support.

Changes for Support of MPEG-4
If the venue is using DMP 4310s, MPEG-4 can be delivered to the video
endpoints. Therefore, MPEG-4 encoders can be used with in-house feeds and
the transcoder can be eliminated from the DirecTV bundle.

Changes to the Ad Insertion Process
In release 1.5, the Ad Insertion Manager (AIM) was a separate entity – installed
as a separate application on a separate Cisco ADE server. In release 2.0, AIM
has been partially integrated in to Cisco StadiumVision Director: it is installed as
part of the CD/DVD installation process, it resides on the same Cisco ADE as
