Adtec digital DPI-1200 (version 01.04.08U) Manual - Manual (Page 31)

The DPI-1200 Ad Server works in conjunction with a various network splicers for seamless
commercial insertion. Those include, but are not limited to: Motorola CherryPicker (DM3200
or DM6400), RGB’s BNPxr, BNP2xr, BNP3xr, Cisco DCM and Scopus IVG 7500. (Adtec Digital
does not endorse particular product) This section provides a guide on the general setup and
configuration of some of these splicers

Licensing
When using the DPI-1200 in conjunction with a Motorola CherryPicker, you will need a
license for each channel desired for insertion. Appropriate licenses will need to be purchased
from your Terayon sales representative or reseller.
To check the DM to make sure it has the needed ad insertion license keys, you will need to
log into the web interface and select Accounts from the top menu bar.
This page will have a section with the heading Product Licenses. If you do not see a line
item called Ad Insertion, MPEG-2 Ad Insertion or MPEG-4 AVC Ad Insertion or the
existing license has already expired, you will need to contact Motorola or your distributor for
licensing service. Because each license key is linked to a specific Data Flash, you will need
to look up the serial number for the Data Flash in your DM CherryPicker. (Illustration below)
Time Sync
Per SCTE30 protocol, Time synchronization is required due to the passing of time between
the Server and the Splicer. The delay on a TCP/IP message is somewhat unpredictable and
is affected by other machines on the network. By having the machines synchronized, time
can be passed between the two machines without concern for normal network delays
keeping the splicing very accurate. The time synchronization system must be able to keep
the Splicer and Server within +/- 15 ms of each other.
One possible method is to use Network Time Protocol (NTP) to keep the Server and the
Splicer in synchronization. A network common host system NTP server could be used since
this will also typically exist in a cable headend that has a network infrastructure. The DPI-
