Script Devices

Script devices work with scripts. Script devices are VBricks, STBs, or non-MPEG-1, 2, or 4 devices (like cameras or VCRs) that are identified in the Portal Server database. Once defined in the network, they can be subsequently controlled by a script (see Scripts on page 27) and launched from ETV Portal Server. A script device must be physically connected to the network (or to a VBrick or Set-Top Box) and must be available at the runtime of a scheduled event. Script devices are controlled through a TCPIP port. For example, PTZ cameras respond to pan, tilt, and zoom commands; these commands can be scripted and executed from ETV Portal Server.
