VBrick Systems ETV v4.2 manual Viewing Multiple Streams, Recording Live Streams

Messages

The Messages area under the control panel displays any Global Message entered by the administrator; it will also display additional information about the selected video if it was customized by an administrator. The video title is shown above the Preview Window.

Viewing Multiple Streams

The video player can be configured by an administrator so that you can view multiple streams in separate windows. Click on any live or recorded stream and then click the Launch External Player button below the preview window. If this feature is enabled, you can repeat this step to launch multiple streams in separate windows. This feature is particularly useful in security and surveillance applications. Note that the number of streams you can view display depends on the resources of your computer. Note also that when multiple windows are displayed, recording and bookmarking on the external windows is disabled. You can only record the stream currently displayed in the preview window.

TTo tile your screen as shown below:

1.Right-click in an empty area on the Windows taskbar at the bottom of your screen.

2.Then select Tile Windows Horizontally or Tile Windows Vertically.

3.When done click Undo Tile.

Recording Live Streams

If you have permission, you can record any live channels being played in the Preview Window. (You cannot record or copy stored videos.) The live channel gets recorded and auto-ingested, usually into an assigned folder on the VOD server. The default recording length is defined by an administrator but you can stop recording at any time. See "Control Buttons" described above for a description of all the controls in the Preview Window.

TTo start recording:

1.Launch a live channel.
