iPump 6420 User’s Manual 1.2. iPump 6420 Overview The WEGENER iPump 6420 is an integrated, digital satellite receiver, decoder, and audio server designed to provide the most cost effective method of delivering and storing content for radio network operations. In tandem with WEGENER Compel/MediaPlan, the iPump 6420 is a key part of the WEGENER Digital Media Delivery System, which combines secure MPEG and IP digital transmission with media management and server storage, to provide the mo

This schedule will define local spots, as files, to be played in each available segment of the day. These segments are defined by the radio network management as those portions of each hour where specific spots will be eligible for play at the remote receiving i6420 sites. And for each segment of each hour of each day, a playlist name

iPump 6420 User’s Manual 1.2.3. Supplemental capabilities Along with the above basic S/F system functions, certain supplemental capabilities are beneficial to the radio network mission. As shown in Figure 1, Return Path provides a general tool to request and receive low-bandwidth status and logging information from edge i6420s back to the uplink control system. Return Path is implemented with HTTP protocol, allowing the i6420s to communicate with the uplink control system with through

Along with this capability, the i6420 may also poll for and then pull in it’s local spot files over the same internet connections. This is called “Internet File Delivery”. This allows the i6420 to easily implement a premium radio network feature called “Automation Mode”, to be discussed.

iPump 6420 User’s Manual TimeZone Delay Most radio networks span several time zones. Because of this, to keep the same scheduled “feel” at all affiliates through all those time zones, they, once again must do their own recording and re-broadcasts, using extra satellite bandwidth. The iPump6420 TimeZone Delay (TZD) feature allows the central radio network manager to avoid these complexities. Using TZD, the radio network manager can broadcast one feed over the satellite, with all the co

Moving on in Figure TBD, the Local PIO closures are inputs provided to allow local automation equipment to cue the iPump6420 to deliver specific operations at precise times. These are fully balanced wire pairs, optically isolated from the i6420 chassis. Under Compel network or local user control, s
