Concepts
Cisco Digital Media System (Cisco DMS) is a family of products and technologies, including the ones that this guide describes. A Digital Media Player (DMP) is a compact, solid state, addressable network device that delivers digital signage content and enterprise TV content to a DMP display — which is an LCD Professional Series display or any other directly attached television screen, monitor, or projector (analog or digital, standard-definition or high-definition) that shows media to an audience. You can enclose your DMP inside a protective case that discourages tampering and prevents theft. The protective case is sold separately. Digital Media Player Device Manager (DMPDM) is a web-based graphical user interface to configure one DMP during its initial setup, to manage one DMP in isolation, and to deliver your media to one DMP display. DMPDM is served from the DMP that it manages. System administrators, content managers, and graphic designers use a Digital Media Manager (DMM) software module called DMM-DSM to centrally manage their network of DMP devices, organize and bind assets together for signage, design layouts, and deliver media to DMP displays. Features of the separately licensed DMM-ETV software module help you to deliver VoDs and live television broadcasts over IP networks, configure an on-screen electronic program guide (EPG), manage subscriptions to EPG data provider services, and program the remote control for DMPs, which is sold separately.

1 Requirements and Limitations
Cisco Digital Media Player (DMP) 4400G devices, and 4305G devices after July 2008, are compatible with a remote control that is sold separately. Its features require that your DMPs use firmware release 5.0 or later and that your Cisco Digital Media Manager (DMM) appliances use DMM software release 5.0 or later. If you are upgrading from an earlier release of Cisco DMS, you can log in to your Cisco.com account, and then download the required software and firmware at http://tools.cisco.com/support/downloads/pub/Redirect.x?mdfid=281723656.
Most DMM features that this guide describes, which respond to the remote control, are licensed features that must be installed and configured on your DMM appliance and enabled on your DMPs. To learn about the DMM features that you can license and install, see http://www.cisco.com/go/dms.
A printed copy of this guide (Remote Control Quick Start Guide for Cisco Digital Media Players) is included in the product kit with each DMP remote control. Alternatively, you can read this guide on Cisco.com.
Four Unlicensed Buttons
Four buttons on your remote control are free of licensing restrictions and work without limitation. These buttons are Mute, Power, Show IP, and Volume. See Using the Secondary Buttons.
2 Overview: The Battery
CautionImportant safety warnings, notices, and guidelines apply to the battery in your DMP remote control. See the "Statement 330 — Lithium Battery Warning" section of Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco Digital Media Player Remote Control. A printed copy of this guide is included in the product kit with each DMP. Alternatively, you can read it on Cisco.com.
Your DMP remote control is battery-powered. It uses a standard, 3V CR2025 lithium battery, manufactured by a well-known supplier such as Panasonic or Toshiba. The name of the actual manufacturer is etched into the face of the battery.
If the battery loses its charge or if you remove the battery, your DMP remote control will not work until the battery is replaced.
You should always recycle or dispose of the battery in accordance with:
•
•
Remote control settings are not lost when you remove or replace the battery.
3 Replacing the Battery
Whenever it is necessary to replace the lithium battery in your DMP remote control:

4 Using the Primary Buttons
Most of the time, you will use only six buttons near the middle of your DMP remote control: Menu, Enter, Up, Down, Left, and Right. These buttons, the six most important ones, work as follows:

When a program in the far right column of the EPG is highlighted already and you press Right, the EPG shifts forward in time and lists programs from the subsequent 4 hours.
5 Using the Secondary Buttons
In addition to the six essential buttons that the preceding table describes, your remote control has 18 other buttons:
Power

1 Audio volume levels that you set for a DMP might differ from, or conflict with, the audio volume levels that you set for other attached devices. Muting one such device, for example, will not necessarily mute all of the others. To avoid disruptions at your site (such as the disruptions that unintentionally loud audio might cause), use care when you adjust volume settings.
6 Infrared (IR) Signal Frequency Codes
Each button on your remote control is correlated to a particular IR signal frequency. Hexadecimal representations of these frequencies are as follows:
