Video Media Center - VMC 1000 User Guide

The VMC 1000 only requires a single stream to be pulled from the RSS 2000 to enable hundreds of streams. The VMC 1000 publishes live event links on its Viewer Portal and redirects end users to the live streams from a streaming server.

Once a video archive recorded by an RSS 2000 device is discovered by the VMC 1000, it is transferred from the RSS 2000 device to a central repository managed by the VMC 1000. The managed content can then be assigned access control parameters and published to the VMC 1000 to be accessed by the Viewer Portal, (which contains an embedded Window Media player) or by the Windows Media Player, depending upon which option the Site Administrator selects during setup. The following figure shows how the VMC 1000 works as part of the Polycom video conferencing solution:
