1 HMP-1801 High Definition Media Player

1.1 Introduction

The Densité HMP-1801 module is a solid-state video clip server that can playback or record HD and SD video

sequences or stills. The HMP is ideal for frequently used full screen promos or for always available animated apology

sequences. The HMP-1801 can also be used to add animated side panels when performing aspect ratio conversion

using the Miranda XVP-1801 Up, Down, Cross and aspect ratio converter.

Clip selection and playback can be controlled manually with GPI contacts or using the VDCP protocol. Clips can also

be controlled with iControl and created or edited using a dedicated web interface.

The HMP-1801 relies on widely-available low-cost Flash Memory (Compact Flash) for media storage and makes no

use of moving mechanical parts for maximum long-term reliability and fast access times. JPEG2000 Video

compression is used to maximize storage space while preserving broadcast quality. Content can be transferred to the

card via the card’s dedicated 10/100Mbit Ethernet media transfer port.

The card can be genlocked using SD or HD reference signals or run on its own timebase-accurate oscillator. Multiple

cards installed in the same frame can be locked to an in-frame reference generated by the optional REF-1801 card.

1.2 Features

oCapture and playback of video, audio and ANC, such as closed captioning, timecode, AFD, Name dropper

and Dolby E metadata

oPlayback of a single clip or a sequence of clips (called a “clip list”)

oSupports SD and HD 525, 625, 1080i and 720p @ 50 and 59.94 Hz frame rates

oUses low-cost Compact Flash memory cards for media storage

oReference input with loop-through capability (loop-through available only on DRP rear module)

oDedicated 10/100 Ethernet port for Media access and upload

oDual HD/SD-SDI Outputs (2nd output only available on DRP and 2OUT-3SRP rear modules)

oEasy control & monitoring with iControl including Thumbnail for output confidence

oSupport for 6 GPI In and 6 GPI out

oBuilt-in Web Server for configuration and file management.

oImport .wav audio files at 48KHz only

o16, 20 and 24 bit resolution supported, plus 32 bit for TGA only

oSupports multiple mono files (up to eight channels) or a single multi-channel file. Groups 1-4 are supported,

with individual mute for each channel

oSupports a useful subset of VDCP commands

oSupports video key generation using 2nd output on DRP and 2OUT-3SRP rear modules only

1.4.1 Compression Format

The HMP-1801 utilizes the JPEG2000 compression algorithm for high-quality video. This technique uses wavelet

transforms rather than the discrete cosine transforms used for JPEG and MPEG compression. JPEG2000 does not

use temporal or interframe compression. Each frame is processed individually.

The artifacts of JPEG2000 encoding are less visible than those of conventional MPEG, appearing as a gradual

blurring or smoothing of the image rather than the blocking or mosquito noise encountered in MPEG images, and

JPEG2000 supports mode encode/decode cycles than other formats. Furthermore, the images can undergo a higher

compression before artifacts appear. The HMP-1801 import tool will encode video at 100Mbps for HD video and

25Mbps for SD contents.

The HMP-1801 allows the export and import of compressed data files, and it is convenient to use this approach when

exchanging video essences between cards. The HMP-1801 can import these file formats:

•Sequence or still BMP

•Sequence or still JPG

•Sequence or still 24 bit TGA without alpha channel

•Sequence or still 32 bit TGA with alpha channel

•Morgan MJ2K compressed AVI

•QuickTime file with Advanced workflow option

Note: The HMP-1801 will output the original content without applying any filters. It is the responsibility of the artist to

generate a video sequence that is compliant with the SMPTE standards

1.4.2 Flash Memory

Video essences and clip definitions are stored in Compact Flash memory on board the HMP-1801 card. The memory

card is removable, and is physically located as shown in the diagram below. .

•Since the memory card is not formatted as a standard Windows device, it cannot be replaced by an off-the-shelf

card

1.4.3 Web Interface

The HMP-1801 incorporates its own ethernet interface, independent from the Densité frame’s interface. This

independent interface is used to load data, configure and manage clips and upgrade card’s firmware.

•This interface is described in detail in Section 4.

1.5 Applications
