RECORD  
LOCAL RECORDING  
CAPABILITIES  
Typically, the DGy 201x records an input source directly to an internal  
removable or optional fixed disk drive. When an optional fixed drive is  
included, the user selects on which of the two drives the encoded  
material will be stored.  
. . . . . . . . .  
REMOTE RECORDING & REPLAY OPTION  
A DGy 201x option enables recording to a remote disk drive over a  
network. Remote drives include network attached storage devices,  
servers, RAID servers, and networked PCs. To accomplish this, the  
remote drive is mounted as a network assigned NFS (Network File  
System) drive and appears to the DGy 201x as a local disk drive. This  
feature requires the use of Allegro (Windows PC platforms) or Linux  
based NFS servers. For more information please see Mounting a  
Remote Disk Option on page 61.  
PLAYBACK  
A DGy 201x recording can be replayed directly from an internal drive or  
from a remotely mounted disk (option). The file created by DGy 201x  
can also be viewed from a suitably configured PC at a reduced frame  
rate. The DGy 201x’s playback capabilities are described in the following  
section. For details about playback from a PC, refer to the following  
section PC Software Replay Application.

PC SOFTWARE REPLAY APPLICATION  
A Windows software application supplied by RGB Spectrum can be used  
to replay DGy 201x recordings directly on a PC. The quality level will be  
the same, but at reduced frame rates. This application works with the  
standard Windows Media Player (version 9 and above) to provide basic  
transport functions including play, pause and stop.  
This application can be used to replay recordings in the following ways:  
•
Recordings copied from a DGy 201x to the PC local drive using  
TCP/IP file transfer protocol (FTP).  
•
Recordings played from a DGy 201x removable drive inserted in  
an appropriately configured PC equipped with a compatible  
removable disk drive bay. The DGy 201x uses the ext2 file  
system found with the Linux operating system. PCs running the  
Windows operating system will require additional software in  
order to mount the drive. This software is commercially  
available.  
Playback quality is high, but note that the playback frame rate is limited  
by the performance of the selected PC. As an example, a PC equipped  
with a Pentium® 4, 3GHz processor with 512 MB of memory will  
typically play a 1280 x 1024 recording at 5 to 6 frames per second.  
SIMULTANEOUS  
The DGy 201x supports the optional playback from disk while  
concurrently recording new material. Record and play start and stop  
times are independent.  
RECORD/REPLAY  
OPTION  
. . . . . . . . .  
Additional codec circuitry is factory installed to use the Simultaneous  
Record/Play option on the DGy 201x. The presence of this option can be  
confirmed by viewing the Web Control Panel Configuration Window  
(page 22).

Networking and Control  
NETWORKING AND CONTROL  
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  
Although there are no front panel controls, the DGy 201x includes the  
following networking and control capabilities:  
•
The RS-232 serial port for command line control connects to an  
ASCII terminal, any computer with a serial port, or an external  
device such as a touchpad. Commands are sent from the  
terminal or computer to the DGy 201x. In Chapter 6, refer to the  
Commands section for details.  
•
The Ethernet port (100/1000 Base-T) allows multiple DGy 201x  
systems to be connected to a local area network (LAN), or  
directly to a PC properly equipped with a network card. Direct  
connection requires the use of an Ethernet hub or Ethernet  
crossover cable. This method supports a Telnet session or a  
standard web browser to access the DGy 201x internal Web  
Control Panel.  
•
•
Telnet and web server control capability.  
Remote storage/replay capability. Files can be transferred  
using the standard FTP protocol or, with the Remote Disk Mount  
option, to a remote computer or RAID file server (Windows  
operating system using Allegro server software or Linux).  
Typical compression ratios will allow users to transfer 30 fps at  
1280 x 1024 over a dedicated 100/1000 Base-T Ethernet link.  
Replay can also be accomplished on the remote computer  
equipped with applicable software independent of the DGy 201x  
recorder.

INTRODUCTION  
Multi-Channel Systems  
M. .U.LT. I.-C.H.A.N.N.E.L. S. Y.S.T.E.M.S. . . . . . . . . . .  
All DGy models support multi-channel record and playback. A number of  
units can be configured and controlled from a single point using the  
optional RGB Spectrum Multi-Channel Manager (MCM) software.  
Figure 1-2 Multi-Channel Recording  
The MCM runs under the Windows operating system. From a single  
user interface, the MCM coordinates the synchronization and control of  
the record and play capabilities of multiple DGy recorders.  
M. .U.LT. I.C.A.S.T.S.T.R.E.A.M.IN.G. .(D.G.y.-.TO. -.D.G.y.) . .  
The DGy 201x can encode and stream a graphics signal on the input  
port to multiple DGy decoder clients on a network using the multipoint,  
multicast streaming capability. The encoded bit stream is directed to the  
network port as a multicast transmission for remote viewing instead of  
directing the encoded bit stream to a network disk. Interframe  
compression may be used to reduce the required network bandwidth.  
The multicast transmission can be received and decoded by any  
number of client DGy units that subscribe to the transmission.

Interframe compression for live input streaming reduces the bandwidth  
required to transmit video data over a network. In interframe  
compression, each frame is compared to the previous frame. When  
differences between frames meet criteria defined by parameters set by  
the user, new frames are transmitted; if the criteria are not met, new  
frames are not sent and an exact repeat of the last encoded anchor  
frame is used. WCP and command line operation both support the use  
of interframe compression.

INTRODUCTION  
External Timecode Synchronization  
EXTERNAL TIMECODE SYNCHRONIZATION  
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  
Multi-channel recording requires the synchronization of the internal real-  
time clocks of all the DGy 201x units. The DGy 201x can be  
synchronized to an external time source using a network connection to  
an NTP (Network Time Protocol) server. Additionally, the DGy 201x can  
be configured with an IRIG-B option. Using the IRIG loop-through  
connection synchronization of all DGy 201x real-time clocks can be  
done from a single IRIG-B timecode generator (IRIG DCLS or 1 kHz  
modulation).

3) Graphics Loop  
Use the Graphics Loop connector to pass the unprocessed  
input signal to an external device such as a monitor. This  
connector provides looping for both the digital (DVI) and analog  
RGB signals. This is an active loop, so there will be no output  
when the DGy 201x has no power applied.  
4) Graphics Output  
This Graphics Output connector provides both analog RGB  
and digital DVI output signals on a DVI-I connector. When the  
DGy 201x is in Play mode, the output signal plays back from  
recorded material on a disk. When DGy 201x is in Record  
mode, the output signal displays the signal present at the  
Graphics Input connector.  
A DGy equipped with the simultaneous record/play option will  
display the playback on the Graphics Output connector  
whenever the DGy is in Play mode even when the unit is  
recording.  
5) Audio Inputs  
The DGy 201x provides stereo recording capability. A pair of  
RCA phono Audio Input connectors accept analog audio  
signals for left and right channels. The Audio Input will accept  
either line or microphone level inputs. A choice of sample rates  
is provided.  
6) Audio Outputs  
A pair of RCA phono Audio Output connectors supply the line  
level left and right analog audio output signals.  
7) Ethernet Port  
A standard RJ-45 connector is provided for the Ethernet  
100/1000 Base-T control port. This port is used to control the  
DGy 201x with the RGB Spectrum graphical interface (Web  
Control Panel), Telnet command line interface, or for the transfer  
of recorded clips over a network (using FTP).  
8) RS-232 Port  
A standard 9-pin sub-miniature D connector provides serial  
connection to an external RS-232 equipped control device. The  
serial port does not support a graphical user interface.  
9) IRIG Ports (option)  
The optional IRIG timecode input accepts IRIG-B timecode in  
either DCLS or 1kHz modulated formats (B123 format). The  
looping output can be used to provide a reference signal to  
other IRIG-B compatible devices.  
Note  
The GPIO connector is non-operational at this time.

13) Show clips/Show files  
It is generally convenient to display recordings in the Clip  
Browser as clips. Clips, however, are created as a sequence of  
underlying files. In some situations it is useful to be able to  
display clips as the list of all the files that comprise the full clip.  
Click the Show files radio button to view a list of the underlying  
files.  
The first file of a clip is <clip name>.mj2. Subsequent files are  
named <clip name>nnnnnn.mj2 starting at 000000 then  
numbered sequentially.  
Figure 3-9 Clip Files  
The maximum size of each file in a clip is 512 MB which  
represents a record time of about 1.7 mins/file with a resolution  
of 1280 x 1024 at 30 frames per second and a medium quality  
setting, 1.0 bit rate. The record rate depends upon the resolution  
of the image, the frame rate and the choice of quality level. As  
an example a record rate of 5MB/s is required to record a 1280  
x 1024 image at a 30 Hz frame rate and mid level (24:1) quality  
setting.

naming a clip provides the advantage that the DGy 201x will  
begin recording right away without first prompting for a clip  
name.  
When unchecked, a clip name is required and the DGy Control  
Panel prompts for a name entry when recording is initiated.  
Numbers and letters can be used in names; spaces cannot be  
used. The default is automatic naming. Automatic naming is  
numeric, based on the time and date the recording was initiated.  
Refer to the Recording Clips on page 61 for details.  
Note  
Recorded clips can be renamed as desired.

STREAMING TAB  
The streaming tab is used to set parameters for multicast streaming. A  
multicast stream directs encoded live input to a network port on the DGy  
selected as the server for remote viewing through one or more DGy  
decoder clients.  
. . . . . . . . .

MAXIMUM FRAME RATE  
Set the maximum frame rate for streaming. Set the maximum frame  
rate to 0; the DGy will automatically compute the maximum frame rate.  
Important  
If the Frame Rate - Set to Maximum box was checked  
on the Record tab, the value displayed on the  
Streaming tab will be zero also. The frame rate must  
be set to 0.  
INTERFRAME COMPRESSION  
Interframe compression for live input streaming reduces the bandwidth  
required to transmit video data over a network. In interframe  
compression, each frame is compared to the previous frame. When  
differences between frames meet criteria defined by parameters set by  
the user, new anchor frames are transmitted; if the criteria are not met,  
new frames are not sent and an exact repeat of the last encoded anchor

frame is used; the client receiving the compressed data repeats the  
current anchor frame until a new one is received. This frame repeat  
pr0cess reduces network bandwidth as transmission of new frames is  
not performed.The level of contrast in an image and the degree of  
motion between frames are factors in setting interframe compression  
parameters.  
When the Interframe compression settings button on the Streaming  
tab is clicked, the Interframe Compression adjustment window opens.  
See Figure 3-14.  
Figure 3-14 Interframe Compression Adjustment Window  
Check Enable interframe compression to use interframe compression  
during multicast streaming.  
Interframe compression parameter values may be entered by typing a  
number in the box, using the arrows to increase or decrease a value, or  
by using the slider. Interframe compression parameters are:  
•
Sensitivity - The DGy 201x evaluates changes by examining  
blocks of pixels. This parameter sets the number of block  
changes which will trigger the transmission of a new anchor  
frame. Sensitivity may be set to a number between 0 and 255  
with a default of 4.  
S Example: A 1600 x 1200 has about 60,000 pixel blocks. If  
the sensitivity is set to 20 and only 10 blocks have changed  
edge state since the previous frame, then the sensitivity  
value will not have been exceeded and a new frame is not  
sent. If the sensitivity is set to 20 and 400 blocks have  
changed, the sensitivity level has been exceeded and a new  
anchor frame is transmitted.

•
Threshold - When edge differences between blocks in  
successive frames exceeds the threshold value, a change is  
registered. The threshold value may be set to a number  
between 0 and 255 with a default of 16. A low threshold number  
requires small edge differences between blocks to be  
considered a change; a high threshold number allows greater  
differences before a change is indicated.  
S Example: A black foreground airplane against a blue and  
white sky can use a high threshold of 240. This threshold  
allows the DGy to locate only edges associated with the  
airplane while ignoring edges between sky and clouds. The  
threshold parameter would have to be lowered, possibly to  
50, if edges of a light gray airplane needed to be located  
against a medium gray cloud background.  
•
Interframe Length - The interframe length establishes a  
minimum rate for the transmission of a new anchor frame  
regardless of the threshold or sensitivity setting. This insures  
that even slow, incremental changes are captured. Interframe  
length may be set to a value between 0 and 4095 with a default  
of 30. Interframe length should be adjusted after threshold and  
sensitivity parameters have been set.  
To calculate the refresh rate:  
Signal frame rate  
Interframe length  
= Refresh rate in Hz  
S Example 1: For a frame rate of 15 fps and an interframe length  
of 5, the minimum frame update rate would be:  
15  
5
= 3 Hz or 3 frames per second.  
S Example 2: For a frame rate of 30 fps and an interframe length  
of 59 the minimum update rate would be:  
30  
60  
1
2
=
Hz or once every 2 seconds.  
The optimal interframe compression settings for an input depend on the  
nature of the image; some experimentation may be required. Set  
interframe compression values low for an image with a high degree of  
motion; this will keep the motion smooth. Higher settings may be used  
for an image with little motion. The higher the interframe length, the  
greater the reduction of network bandwidth used.

Before proceeding with this setup, refer to Before Starting on page 24  
for important setup and connection information.  
The first step in making a recording is to decide where to store the  
recording. The recording can be stored on the local removable drive,  
optional fixed drive or on an optional remote network attached storage  
device. A file may be stored in a particular directory or a new directory  
may be created.  
MOUNTING A REMOTE DISK OPTION  
If the DGy 201x has the Remote Disk Mount option, an external  
disk can be mounted over a network. Before beginning the  
process of mounting a remote disk, the NFS server on the  
remote device must be set up. The DGy 201x supports remote  
disk mount activity only with Allegro for Windows PC platform, or  
Linux based NFS servers. Allegro is a low cost server for the  
Windows platform and can be downloaded from the following  
web site: http://nfsforwindows.com/home  
It is strongly recommended that the IT manager be  
consulted for assistance before proceeding.  
Use the following procedure to mount a remote disk.  
1) Open the Clip Browser from the DGy Control Panel win-  
dow by clicking in the Clip Path section. See Clip Browser  
Window on page 35.  
2) Click on File in the Clip Browser tool bar.  
3) Select Network Drive ... from the File drop down menu.  
4) Enter the path name to the remote disk in the Mount  
Network Drive pop-up window (Figure 3-25). The path  
name consists of two parts, the IP address of the remote  
storage device, and the name of the shared space that has  
been created on the device (known as the NFS name).  
Obtain this information from the IT manager or network  
support specialist.  
S Example: If the IP address of the network drive is  
192.168.1.59, and the storage area on the drive has been  
set up as usr/dgy, enter the following into the Mount Network  
Drive address line:  
192.168.1.59:/usr/dgy  
5. Click the Mount button.  
If the remote drive is found it will be displayed with the other  
drives in the left pane of the Clip Browser and listed as \remot\.

Multicast Streaming  
M. .U.LT. I.C.A.S.T.S.T.R.E.A.M.IN.G. . . . . . . . . . . . .  
The DGy 201x offers multicast streaming capability to send live, single-  
channel, high resolution graphics images with audio from one DGy to  
one or more remote DGy units. Multicast streaming encodes the input  
signal on the host DGy for network transmission to remote client DGy  
codecs. Remote DGy codecs subscribe to a multicast stream, receive  
the stream, and instantly decode it for live viewing with synchronized  
audio. DGy decoder units can be in any physical location with no limit on  
the number of multicast participants.  
Examples of multicast streaming performance are:  
•
•
1280 x 1024 at up to 30 frames per second  
1600 x 1200 at up to 20 frames per second.  
The Table 3-2 lists the basic information regarding Multicast streaming  
on the DGy 201x.  
Table 3-2 Multicast Streaming Info  
Default  
Stream Type Protocol Default Port  
Multicast UDP 6001  
IP Address  
Client Platform  
225.0.0.37  
DGy 201x  
Multicast streaming uses a Class D IP address and port on the DGy  
201x acting as the stream-out server. The client DGy 201x(s) can then  
subscribe to the stream by connecting to the IP address and port. Refer  
to Figure 1-3, page 9 for a setup diagram.  
Note  
The inclusion of audio and the audio frequency for  
multicast streaming will be set according to the  
settings in the Audio Settings dialog (Figure 3-16) of  
the Input Tab. The shortest latency occurs when  
Multicasting only video. Latency increases with a  
decrease in audio frequency. For the lowest latency  
while Multicasting with audio, set the audio frequency  
to 44.1 kHz.

The DGy 201x records video and audio to disk. The disk can be a  
removable or optional fixed, or optional remote disk. Recordings, stored  
as one or more data files, can be transferred to an external device for  
subsequent viewing on a PC using the RGB Spectrum software player in  
conjunction with the Windows Media Player.  
It is also possible to transfer files from an external drive to a DGy 201x  
for later replay on the DGy 201x. This method can be used if it is  
necessary to clone a DGy 201x recorder.  
Transfer is accomplished using the DGy 201x FTP (File Transfer  
Protocol) client.  
FTP TRANSFER  
Transfers can involve very large file sizes. The transfer rate on a typical  
network connection is similar to the rate at which the image can be  
stored to disk. This means that the transfer of files is approximately real-  
time; a clip that is 15 minutes in length will take approximately 15  
minutes to transfer.

COMMAND OVERVIEW  
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  
All DGy 201x functions are accessible by means of ASCII commands  
that are used to set one or more system parameters (or values). The  
command set is made up of ASCII characters. Note that commands  
associated with file and path names are case sensitive. These  
commands may be used to control DGy 201x via the RS-232 serial port  
or via the Ethernet port using the internal DGy 201x Telnet server.  
The DGy 201x can also be controlled using the supplied DGy Control  
Panel graphical user interface used on a PC with a standard web  
browser. Remote control is typically accomplished using a third-party  
controller connected to either the serial or Ethernet port.

COMMAND LINE  
All commands take the following form:  
COMMAND_NAME <value1> <value2>...  
… followed by ENTER.  
USAGE  
. . . . . . . . .  
Parameter values are shown in angle brackets < > and optional  
parameters are contained in square brackets [ ]. In the above example,  
value1, value2 (etc.) are required parameters specific to the stated  
command.  
S Example: Set DGy 201x’s baud rate to 115,200 bps:  
BAUDRATE 115200  
The majority of commands have both long and short forms:  
•
The long form version is an easily understood word (or the  
concatenation of two or more words).  
•
The short form version is an abbreviation of the command  
name.  
Note  
With the exception of some interactive functions,  
commands are not case sensitive. In the Command  
Index and command descriptions, upper case  
characters in the long form version indicate the letters  
required for the command short form.  
In the example above, the command BAUDratecould be entered in four  
ways:

detailed descriptions.  
. . . . . . . . .  
Table 6-2 Input Commands  
Command  
Arguments  
Description  
INputAutoSync  
<AUTO | LOCK |  
DEBUG>  
AUTO engages the input autosync circuitry. LOCK  
turns the autosync circuitry off. If the source is  
slightly unstable this prevents the autosync circuitry  
from constantly re-acquiring the signal. DEBUG  
provides information on input status, and reports  
changes to measured parameters (serial port only).  
Default: AUTO  
INputFormat  
(none)  
INputFormat is a read only command that reports  
the type of signal selected for recording.  
INputLOAD  
<1..160>  
Loads the indicated entry from the Timing List to  
the RGB input channel.  
This command only operates when an analog RGB  
signal is present and selected (with the  
INputSouRCe command). Otherwise an error  
message will be returned.  
Refer to the Factory Timing List section for  
additional details.  
INputMODulus  
(none)  
This command provides a way to optimize the input  
timing for the analog RGB input to exactly sample  
the center of each pixel.  
A reasonably busy image is required for alignment  
(for example a screen with fine vertical lines or a  
screen with lots of fine text). After issuing the

Arguments  
Description  
INputNAME  
<name>  
Assigns a name to the input and its signal  
characteristics. The argument can be up to 23  
alphanumeric characters with no spaces  
(underscore is acceptable).  
Default: Auto_1  
This command only operates when an analog RGB  
signal is present and selected (with the  
INputSouRCe command). Otherwise an error  
message is returned.  
INputSAVE  
<100..160>  
Saves the RGB input timing parameters to the  
selected entry in the Timing List. These settings are  
recalled whenever the signal is detected by the  
autosync circuitry, and the RGB input is selected.  
This command only operates when an analog RGB  
signal is present and selected (with the  
INputSouRCe command). Otherwise an error  
message is returned.  
If INputSAVE is issued for an already occupied  
position, the DGy 201x requests overwrite  
confirmation.  
Refer to the Factory Timing List section for  
additional details.  
INputSouRCe  
<RGB | DVI>  
This command selects between an RGB or DVI  
input source.

Commands  
Table 6-6 DGy 201x Play and Record Commands (Continued)  
Command  
Arguments  
Description  
SYNChronizedRECord  
<clipname> <starttime>  
The SYNChronizedRECord command is used to  
schedule recording of a clip at a specified time. A  
clipname must be provided, and the start time must  
be specified using the time format  
yyyymmddhhmmss (24 hour time).  
Example: Start recording a clip named Rec227 at  
3:05pm, June 9th 2005.  
syncrec Rec227 20050609150500  
The SYNChronizedREC command is typically  
used to synchronize multiple DGy recorders so that  
they will perform as a multi-channel recorder.  
Before using the DGy in this mode it is  
recommended that the real-time clocks of each  
recorder be synchronized using either an IRIG or  
NTS time reference (synchronizing is then  
automatic). The SYNChronizedREC command  
should then be issued to each machine using the  
same time argument.  
RECordFrameRate  
<0 .. 100>  
Sets the rate at which input frames are recorded.  
This command would most likely be used to save  
disk space by recording at a lower frame rate. For  
example, a 1280 x 1024 image can typically be  
recorded at 30 frames/second. A setting of 15 would  
record at half the rate, with double the available  
recording storage time.  
An argument of 0 always allows recording at the  
maximum rate which is calculated automatically by  
the DGy.  
Note: RECordFrameRate must be set to 0 for  
multicast streaming with interframe compression  
enabled.  
Default: 0  
RECordBitRate  
<0.1 .. 8.0>  
Sets the degree of compression i.e. quality level  
(Stated in bits/pixel).  
RECordBitRate effectively controls the trade-off  
of bit-rate versus quality. Without regard to  
recording frame rate, an argument of 0.1 reflects a  
240:1 compression, with an argument of 8 reflecting  
a 3:1 compression. (Compression is measured  
relative to a 24-bit pixel)  
Quality levels are related to compression level, for  
example:  
RECordBitRate 0.7 is low quality (34:1)  
RECordBitRate 1.0 is medium quality (24:1)  
RECordBitRate 1.5 is high quality (16:1)  
Default: 1.0 (medium quality)

Command  
Arguments  
Description  
RECordLOOP  
<ON | OFF>  
If RECLOOP is ON, recording will be continuous.  
Note that only the current clip is overwritten. Disk  
overwrite will begin when there is only 4 GB of  
remaining disk space. Overwrite begins with the  
oldest part of the clip.  
Default: OFF  
PLAY  
[-P] [playlist]  
This command switches the unit to Play mode and  
plays a previously made recording.  
The PLAY command plays back the items in the  
optional playlist.The playlist may contain up to 5  
clipnames. Clips in the playlist will be played in the  
order they appear in the playlist.  
Note: Playlist capability can only operate at normal  
playback speed.  
If a playlist is not entered, the most recently  
recorded clip in the current directory will be played.  
It the optional -P argument is supplied, the DGy will  
be queued for playing but will immediately enter the  
Play Pause mode. To start playback from Pause a  
PLAY command must be issued. This provides the  
ability to set up a play back and to instantly start  
playback and is particularly useful in controlling  
multiple DGy recorders.  
Example: Play the clips named clip1, clip7 and  
latest_clip using the PLAY PAUSE mode.  
PLAY - P clip1 clip7 latest_clip  
PLAY  
SYNChronizedPLAY  
<clipname> <starttime>  
The SYNChronizedPLAY command is used to  
schedule playback of a clip at a specified time. The  
start time must be specified using the time format  
yyyymmddhhmmss (24-hour time).  
Example: Start playback from the beginning of a  
clip named Rec227 at 8:15 pm, June 11th 2005.  
syncrec Rec227 20050611201500  
The SYNChronizedPLAY command is typically  
used to synchronize multiple DGy recorders so that  
they will perform as a multi-channel playback  
system. Before using the DGy in this mode it is  
recommended that the real-time clocks of each DGy  
be synchronized using either an IRIG or NTS time  
reference (synchronizing is then automatic). The  
SYNChronizedPLAY command should then be  
issued to each machine using the same time  
argument.  
SYNChronizedSTOP  
(none)  
Cancels any queued synchronized command. See  
SYNChronizedPLAY and SYNChronizedRECord.

Command  
Argument  
Description  
BUZZerFUNCtion  
<OFF | FULL | [1..100]>  
Sets when the buzzer will sound and the front  
panel LED indicators will flash. FULL causes  
the buzzer to sound when there is no disk  
space left. The numeric argument causes the  
buzzer to sound when that percentage of the  
disk space has been used.  
For example, with BUZZFUNC set to 95, the  
buzzer will sound (and the front panel disk-full  
lights will blink) when there is about 12 GB of a  
238 GB drive available.  
Notes: The buzzer never sounds if  
RECordLOOP is ON. If BUZZFUNC is OFF  
the buzzer doesn’t sound.  
Default: 95  
BUZZerReSeT

Argument  
Description  
E
(none)  
This command erases the entire contents of  
the removable disk drive.  
This is an interactive command that will prompt  
for confirmation that you wish to proceed. The  
process may take several minutes, and the  
DGy will automatically reboot as soon as the  
procedure is complete. Only recorded data is  
stored on the disk. The DGy application  
software is not stored on disk.  
WARNING: This command does not have an  
undo feature.  
MOUNT  
<ipaddress:sharename>  
This DGy 201x optional feature supports the  
ability to mount an external network mapped  
disk drive for recording and replaying clips.  
Note that this capability requires the use of  
Linux or an Allegro network file server software  
for the Windows OS.  
The MOUNT command provides the ability to  
set up a network mapped NFS remote disk  
drive that the DGy can use to store and recall  
recordings. The location of the remote drive is  
identified by the network address (ipaddress)  
and sharename is the name of the shared  
drive as configured in the NFS server on the  
remote host; the syntax of this name may vary  
with different NFS servers.  
It is recommended that the IT manager  
consulted before executing the mounting  
procedure.  
Example: To mount the /usr/dgy NFS share on  
a Linux host at IP node 192.168.1.123, issue  
the following:  
mount 192.168.1.123:/usr/dgy  
Once the disk is mounted the drive will be  
identified in the Clip Browser as \remot.  
To record, play or list clips on the remote drive  
execute the command CD/rgb/mp1 followed by  
the desired clip command (PLAY, RECORD  
...).  
The settings associated with the remote drive  
are saved in non-volatile memory, and the DGy  
will automatically attempt to reconnect after a  
reboot. To select a new remote drive you must  
first unmount the current drive (see the  
UMOUNT command for details).  
Note: After mounting a drive verify that the  
drive is mounted can be accomplished using  
the VOLINFO command (see VOLumeINFO  
for details).

TIME COMMANDS  
The DGy 201x recorder uses an internal real time clock to time stamp  
recordings. This clock can be set manually or can be synchronized  
automatically on a periodic basis to an external time reference. DGy  
201x supports the use of a Network Time Server (using the NTP  
protocol) or as an option may be connected to an IRIG-B time standard.  
. . . . . . . . .  
Table 6-9 Time Commands  
Command  
Arguments  
Description  
CurrentTIME  
[RAW]  
Displays currently computed local time of DGy  
internal clock with the date in mm/dd/yyyy  
format and time displayed in hh:mm:ss format.  
The time displayed is the current local time. If  
the time zone is changed the local time will  
also be changed.  
To display the time as an unformatted data  
string use the optional RAW argument. For  
example if the current date and time are 3/02/  
2005 8:01:23, then using the RAW argument  
DGy will respond with the string  
2005302080123.  
RealTimeClockSET  
<yyyymmddhhmmss>  
<-12 ... +12>  
Sets the internal DGy real time clock. This  
should only be used if no other method of  
timesetting is available.  
TimeZone  
Sets the timezone relative to UTC, For  
example Pacific Standard Time (PSRT) is -8 (8  
hours behind UTC). DGy must be rebooted  
before the new time zone takes effect.  
IRIGMaster  
<ON | OFF>  
Configures the IRIG output circuitry. When ON,  
an IRIG-B timecodes in the DCLS format will  
be generated on the output based on the  
current time on the DGy. When OFF, the output  
will be a loop of the input.  
IRIGSTandarD  
[DCLS | MOD1K]  
The IRIGSTD command is used to set the  
optional IRIG-B (format B123) input to accept  
either a DCLS (DC Level shift) or MOD1K  
(modulated 1kHz) reference signal.  
Default: DCLS  
NTSIP

The internal DGy real time clock can be  
automatically synchronized to an external  
network time server. When the RTCSYNC is  
set to OFF, the DGy internal clock is not  
synchronized to an external time reference  
(IRIG or NTS).  
When the RTCSYNC is set to  
NetworkTimeServer the DGy will automatically  
synchronize its internal clock to the network  
time server first specified by the NTSIP  
command. Note that when using the NTSIP to  
display your local time correctly, you must set  
the Time Zone to correspond with your  
geographical location.  
Note: DGy requires a full time Internet  
connection to provide this capability. See also:  
NTSIP and TimeZone.  
When the RTCSYNC is set to IRIG, the DGy  
will automatically synchronize it’s internal clock  
to the external (optional) IRIG time reference  
connected to the IRIG input (see also

STANDARD CABLES  
Standard Ethernet cables are available commercially in many different  
lengths. The standard cable is wired pin-for-pin (straight through) which  
means that pin 1 of the connector at one end of the cable is wired to pin  
1 of the connector at the opposite end of the cable. This type of cable is  
used to connect the DGy 201x directly to the network — typically using  
an Ethernet hub or switch. To connect directly from a PC to the DGy  
201x, a crossover cable must be used (see the following section for  
details).

CROSSOVER CABLES  
To connect directly from a PC (such as a laptop) to the DGy 201x  
without connecting to the network, an Ethernet crossover cable must be  
used. Crossover cables are available commercially.  
In a crossover cable, one end of the cable is wired as a straight through  
cable, using the pin assignments shown in Table A-11. At the other end  
of the cable, the TX and RX interconnections are exchanged (crossed  
over).  
Ethernet uses balanced differential signals on twisted pairs of  
conductors. It is important to use wires from the same pair for each pair  
of signals. The standard pairs are shown in Table A-11. Note that one  
wire of the pair has a solid color. The other wire (of the pair) is white with  
a stripe of the same color as the other wire (e.g., Orange and  
White/Orange).  
RS-232 CONNECTOR  
The RS-232 port is configured according to the Electronic Industries  
Association Standard RS-232-C published in August 1969. The DGy  
201x can be explicitly controlled with ASCII Command Set instructions  
sent via the RS-232 serial port from either a computer or an ASCII  
terminal. Refer to Chapter 6, for details on all commands.  
. . . . . . . . .  
CONNECTOR TYPE AND PINOUTS  
Physically, the RS-232 port is a 9-pin, D-Sub female connector. The pins  
for the RS-232 connector are numbered from top to bottom, right to left.  
Looking at the connector, pin #1 is located in the upper right corner, and  
pin #9 is in the lower left corner.

NULL MODEM  
Connecting the DGy 201x’s serial port to a computer configured as Data  
Communications Equipment (DCE) is done using a null modem. The net  
effect of a null modem is to reverse the Transmitted Data and Received  
Data connections within the cable. Also, the Request to Send (RTS) and  
Clear to Send (CTS) connections are reversed. This may be done by  
using a special null modem cable, or by inserting a small null modem  
box or cable in series with a regular straight through cable.

The DGy 201x can be controlled from the 100/1000 Base-T Ethernet  
port using a command line interface (Telnet) or an embedded GUI (Web  
Control Panel) via a standard web browser. The same set up procedure  
is used for either type of control. The DGy 201x can be connected to a  
standard LAN or directly as a peer-to-peer connection. Network settings  
must be set prior to using it in either configuration.  
The following topics are discussed in this section:

Introduction to IP Addresses  
IP Address Setup via Serial Port  
IP Address Setup via Ethernet  
INTRODUCTION TO  
When connecting systems via Ethernet, the setup of communications  
parameters is automatic. However, because this is a network  
connection, a unique address (known as the IP address) is required.  
IP ADDRESSES  
. . . . . . . . .  
For proper operation, DGy 201x requires a fixed IP address (also known  
as a static IP address). At the factory, DGy 201x is programmed with a  
default IP address (192.168.1.200), but this address must be changed if  
the DGy 201x will be used on a network.  
Important  
Consult the network administrator to obtain a valid IP  
address before commencing the network setup  
procedure.  
S Recommendation: To use a DGy 201x on a Local Area  
Network (LAN), change the unit’s IP address before putting it on  
the network. This can be accomplished in one of two ways:  
~
Use the serial port to change the unit’s IP address.  
Refer to the IP Address Setup via Serial Port section  
below.  
~
Connect a DGy 201x directly to a PC using DGy 201x’s  
Ethernet port. Refer to IP Address Setup via Ethernet  
on page 136 for details.

COMMUNICATIONS SETUP  
Ethernet Control  
IP ADDRESS SETUP  
Use the following steps to change the DGy 201x IP address using the  
serial port:  
VIA SERIAL PORT  
. . . . . . . . .  
1. Connect DGy 201x as outlined in the Installation section in  
Chapter 2 and set up the Hyperterminal as described in the  
Serial Communications section on page 131 of this chapter.  
2. In the Hyperterminal window, type:  
IPADDR  
... and press ENTER.  
DGy 201x responds with the current IP address. Make a note of  
the address before proceeding with the next step.  
3. Type IPADDRfollowed by a space, and the new IP address (as  
provided to by the network administrator).  
S Example: If the new IP address is 192.168.1.190, type:  
IPADDR 192.168.1.190  
... and press ENTER.  
4. DGy 201x responds with the following message:  
The system must be restarted for your changes to  
take effect. Do you want to restart the system  
(y/n)?  
~
Press y to restart DGy 201x and use the newly  
assigned IP address.  
~
Press n to retain the current IP address, and discard the  
new address.  
5. After the DGy 201x restarts, confirm the new setting by typing  
the command IPADDR. If the DGy 201x has accepted the  
command, it responds with the new IP address just entered.  
Once IP address has been set, connect the PC to the DGy 201x using  
Ethernet. In Chapter 2, refer to the DGy Applications Suite section for  
instructions.

IP ADDRESS SETUP  
DGy 201x’s IP address can be set directly via Ethernet, using a Telnet  
session that enables remote login to the DGy 201x from a computer.  
This procedure is not required if the IP address was set using the  
method described in the IP Address Setup via Serial Port section on  
page 135.  
VIA ETHERNET  
. . . . . . . . .  
Use the following procedure to set up the IP address with a Telnet  
session:  
1. Use an Ethernet crossover cable or Ethernet hub to connect  
directly between the DGy 201x’s Ethernet port the network port  
of the PC.  
Note  
For this procedure, the direct connection method is  
recommended over the network method. This avoids  
potential conflicts between DGy 201x’s default IP  
address and the network.  
2. From the Start menu at the bottom of the Windows desktop  
select Run...  
3. In the Open dialog box type cmd as shown in the following  
figure.  
Figure B-5 Run Dialog Box  
4. Click the OK to open the Windows command window.  
5. At the command prompt in the command window type:  
telnet <ipaddress> 8000  
where <ipaddress> represents DGy 201x’s current IP address.  
S Example: If the DGy 201x default IP address has not been  
changed, it should be set to:  
192.168.1.200  
Using the default IP address shown above, in the command line  
window, type:  
telnet 192.168.1.200 8000  
... and press ENTER.

At this point, the Telnet window starts and DGy 201x responds  
with the product name and copyright notice as shown in Figure  
B-6.  
Figure B-6 Telnet Connected  
6. To change the current IP address, type IPADDRfollowed by DGy  
201x’s new IP Address (as provided by the network  
administrator).  
S Example: If the new IP address is 192.168.1.190, type:  
IPADDR 192.168.1.190  
... and press ENTER  
DGy 201x responds with the following message:‘  
The system must be restarted for your changes to  
take effect.  
Do you want to restart the system (y/n)?  
Type y to accept the new address, or n to retain the current  
address.  
Important  
When the IP address is changed from the Ethernet  
port, the Telnet connection and communication will be  
lost. This behavior is to be expected. Restart the  
Telnet session using the new IP address.  
7. If y is pressed in the step above, the DGy 201x reboots and the  
Telnet connection is lost. Repeat steps 2 through 4 to establish a  
new Telnet session — except in step 4, type the new IP address.  
8. Confirm the new setting by typing the command IPADDRand  
pressing ENTER. If the DGy 201x has accepted the command,  
it will respond with the new IP address.  
In addition to setting the IP address, if required set the IP subnet mask  
(IPSubNET) and gateway (IPGateWay). See page 116 for more details.
