Content is loaded onto the Sun MediaCenter server via the server’s Content Manager, over a LAN or using 4- or 8-mm DAT tape. Video streams are controlled through network interfaces distinct from the network interfaces used for video output, using the Media Stream Manager (RPC-based) interface described in the Sun MediaCenter Server Programmer’s Guide.
