Using the Billboard

MPEG-2 Configuration

On/Off	Turn Billboard on or off.

IR	Enable the IR remote control. If enabled you can turn the Billboard
	on or off using the remote.

URL	The local or external URL of the Billboard page.

Using the Billboard

Billboard may be invoked in several ways. Either use the PC browser to communicate with the VBrick Integrated Web Server (see separate section) to apply the billboard and turn it on and off, or press the Billboard key on the optional remote control to toggle it on and off. Use of the remote can be enabled or disabled through the configuration. Using IWS (or the VBrick SDK) an administrator can turn on a particular billboard remotely, and prevent anyone else from using a remote to toggle it on/off. If you have a dual decoder system, the remote has keys to select between two decoders.

By turning the billboard on/off, the saved URL is invoked and the browser will attempt to display the resulting page. The URL can be configured to be a local file with the prefix ‘file:/ /' or point to remote server with the prefix http://. The default billboard is assumed to be a file located within the VBrick file system, file://./BB01/VB_1.HTM. If the billboard URL points to a file within the VBrick, the filename has to follow the DOS 8.3 filename convention (i.e. limited file name length). The valid extensions supported by the billboard are

.HTM, .JPG, .GIF, and .BMP. It is common for the billboard pages to have an .HTM extension. Remote URLs are restricted to 255 characters.

Billboard FTP

It is possible to use FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to modify the contents of one of the pre- configured Bulletin Board files resident on the VBrick. Use the browser to FTP files, or any of the many FTP applications. Enter in the browser window:

FTP://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (where x is the IP address of the VBrick appliance).
