Script Devices
Script devices work with scripts. Script devices are VBricks, STBs, or non-MPEG-1, 2, or 4
devices (like cameras or VCRs) that are identified in the Portal Server database. Once defined
in the network, they can be subsequently controlled by a script (see Scripts on page 27) and
launched from ETV Portal Server. A script device must be physically connected to the
network (or to a VBrick or Set-Top Box) and must be available at the runtime of a scheduled
event. Script devices are controlled through a TCPIP port. For example, PTZ cameras
respond to pan, tilt, and zoom commands; these commands can be scripted and executed
from ETV Portal Server.
TTo add a Script Device configuration:
1. Go to Global Settings > Script Devices.
Record Path Path and folder where all recording are stored. By default, recordings
are stored on the D: drive. If you install ETV Portal Server on a
system without a D: drive, you must change the path. Also, in order to
record multiple streams, the Record Path must be under FTP root. For
example, if root is C:\Inetpub\ftproot the Record Path must be
C:\Inetpub\ftproot\<your_folder>
Max. Recording The default number of concurrent recording sessions allowed is 2. If
you exceed 2, you must purchase a record license. Without a license,
any attempt to record more than 2 concurrent sessions will fail.
