Cisco Cisco Digital Media Player 4400G Guida All'Installazione

This guide explains how to set up a DMP 4305G or 4400G to run in your network. It assumes that your 
DMP uses firmware release 5.2.

This firmware is not available for any other DMP model. If you have a DMP 4300G, please see 

.

Cisco Digital Media Players (DMPs) are highly reliable, compact, solid-state devices for IP networks. 
DMPs process high-definition and standard-definition video, multimedia and animations, web pages, 
and other supported content types for playback. You expose targeted audiences to this programming 
when you schedule its availability — live or on demand — on a public presentation system that is attached 
to a DMP. The presentation system might be a display (monitor), touchscreen, video projector, or 
video wall.

DMPs consume very little power and are designed for fast deployment throughout IP networks of any 
size, without the burden of high ongoing operational cost. DMPs are compatible with popular systems 
for networked content distribution, including Cisco Application and Content Networking System 
(ACNS) and Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS).

Any two DMP models might differ in their features, attributes, strengths, limitations, and general 
availability. Some DMPs differ from others, for example, in their support for interactivity through touch. 
To learn what your DMP supports, see its datasheet at 

.

In addition, we design and sell optional accessories for DMPs. You might order handheld remote control 
units for them or order VESA-compliant mount kits that are helpful in each supported DMP-mounting 
scenario. Nonetheless, we reserve the right to introduce, redesign, or discontinue any such accessory 
as needed.

DMPs are a major component of Cisco Digital Media Suite (Cisco DMS) and Cisco StadiumVision, both 
of which we describe elsewhere in this guide.

Every DMP includes a web-based “craft interface” called Digital Media Player Device Manager, or 
DMPDM. You can use DMPDM to: 

Configure its host DMP during initial setup.

Manage its host DMP in isolation, so that it delivers media to one attached presentation 
system — such as a display, touchscreen, or projector (or, if you use signal splitters, to multiple 
presentation systems that are in close proximity to each other and to your one DMP, as with a 
video wall).

A software user guide for DMPDM is available on Cisco.com. See 

Because DMPDM is limited to the simplest functions and does not scale beyond one DMP, we 
recommend that you manage all DMPs in your network centrally. DMPs are optimized and certified for 
use with centralized management solutions that we sell and license separately for a range of specialized 
uses. To learn about these solutions, see the
