Scripts
Scripts work with script devices. Scripts are used to control the operation of MPEG-1, 2, or 4 devices or to control non-MPEG devices like cameras and VCRs. (MPEG devices are added to ETV Portal Server as VBricks. non-MPEG devices are added as Script Devices.) For MPEG devices, you select the device and build a script by selecting parameters from a dropdown list—the parameters vary depending on the type of device you select. For non- MPEG (Other) devices, you write a script from scratch using the native language for that device. This is for advanced users only. Note that if you are scheduling an event, any device for which you write a script must be available to the network at runtime.
TTo add a Scripts configuration:
1.Go to Global Settings > Scripts.
