2 The AvediaPlayer r92xx Series Receivers
General
The AvediaPlayer r92xx series receivers are network devices which display an IP network
delivered MPEG-2 transport stream (TS) on a television or display. Streams from Exterity
TVgateway, Encoder and AvediaServer products are supported, as well as streams from some
third party products.
All AvediaPlayer r92xx series receivers provide the following AV outputs:
Video:
HDMI v1.3a* 720p, 1080i & 1080p @ 50Hz, 59.94Hz or 60 Hz
Audio:
HDMI v1.3a* (8 channel PCM or Bitstream), TOS (2 channel PCM or
Bitstream)
The AvediaPlayer r9210 provides additional analogue video and audio outputs. The r9220
incorporates a LAN switch providing 3 additional LAN connections and VLAN support. Refer to
AvediaPlayer Physical Interfaces
on page 14.
* HDMI interface supports all features of v1.3a except deep color, enhanced colorimetry (xvYCC, gamut metadata),

Power
The receiver can be powered through the network interface by Power over Ethernet (PoE)
using any LAN Switch or Mid-span device meeting 802.3af PoE specifications. If this is not
available, it can be powered using an external power supply available from Exterity. Refer to
on page 14 for further details.
Network Considerations
The Exterity receiver is a network device designed to accept IP multicast streams from Exterity
TVgateways, Encoders and AvediaServers. In order for this to work satisfactorily, it is vital that
the network switches are multicast-enabled in order to prevent unwanted flooding of traffic on
the network.
For these purposes, “Multicast-enabled” is understood to mean that all network switches carry
out IGMP snooping, and one switch must function as the IGMP querier.
Exterity receivers support version 2 and 3 of IGMP.
