Equipment
The following items contribute to a healthy environment.
Single router or other device capable of issuing DHCP addresses. If the home network
uses static addresses, then a list of the IP addresses of the network nodes should be
available.
1000Base-T or 100Base-TX switch with enough ports for all devices. A 1000Base-T
switch is recommended, and required if more than one Blu-ray quality movie will be
played from a server at the same time.
Refer to:
Does Kaleidescape recommend a particular network switch?
Cat5e, Cat6 or higher grade network and patch cables from the equipment rack to all
Premiere line components.
High quality audio and video cables in the proper lengths. When players will output
1080p video, High Speed HDMI cables should be used. HDMI must be used to output
lossless Blu-ray audio.

commences.
Check that there is adequate power for all the devices being installed. Servers require
a high-quality surge protector. A UPS is optional.

Verify that there is a working high-speed Internet connection at the site.
Determine if control of the Premiere system will be done over TCP/IP, Infrared (IR), or
Serial (RS-232). When using control via TCP/IP, consider whether to assign each
Premiere line component a static IP address or a DHCP reservation on the DHCP
server.
