Question
You have a Digital Content Manager (DCM) equipped with MFP module and you would like to use it for HD to SD down-conversion of an AVC stream. You would like to know what license options need to be ordered to achieve this.
Answer
The DCM Configuration Guide lists the following 3 licenses for AVC HD to SD down conversion using MFP module.
1. MFP_AVC_SD_TRANSRATE
2. MFP_AVC_HD_EXTENSION
3. MFP_AVC_TC_ESTENSION
All the above 3 options need to be ordered to get the AVC HD to SD down conversion.
The first and the third above are required for any transcoding operation in AVC format. The second one enables HD related operations.
The three licenses listed above are available as one package on Cisco product ordering website with the PID "LDCM-AVCHDTC" for Main DCM and "BDCM-AVHDTC" for Backup DCM".
