Portal Server v5.0 User Guide

This Portal Server User Guide is written for anyone who will be using or evaluating the VBrick Enterprise Media System Portal Server. This includes system administrators, software developers, network technicians, and end users in a variety of business environments. The VEMS Portal Server is a web-based portal for accessing and managing video assets including both live or stored audio and video files. The VEMS Portal Server is a key component in VBrick's Enterprise Media System. The VEMS Portal Server provides a simple, intuitive interface that easily discovers available media assets in your network. Key components in VBrick's VEMS solution include:

•VOD Servers – VOD-W and VOD-WM servers provide standard video-on-demand features for H.264 and Windows Media files respectively.

•VBrick Hardware Encoders/Decoders – network video appliances that can reside anywhere on your network to provide either distributed or high-density centralized encoding/decoding for Windows Media and H.264 video.

•WM IP Receiver – digital set top boxes that provide a low-cost standalone decoder for DVD-quality Windows Media video assets.

Important Note

VEMS v5.0 supports Windows Media and H.264 technology (content, encoders and VOD servers). Existing MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 devices and content are compatible with VEMS

5.0but have not been tested and will not be initially supported by VBrick. This means you can use existing MPEG content and devices at your own risk and that some VEMS functionality (e.g. video conferencing) that requires MPEG devices will not be available in VEMS v5.0 unless you have existing MPEG encoder/decoder assets. VBrick will provide full support for MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 in VEMS v5.1.

Similarly, the Portal Server client has not been tested and will not be initially supported on Macintosh PCs. Macintosh PCs will be supported in VEMS 5.1. Note that VBrick support for Linux PCs has been discontinued entirely. See the Portal Server Release Notes for other features not supported in this release.
