Download to Clients

additional components to client machines when the client

 

first makes contact with the Portal Server—before any

 

streams or assets are selected for playback (see Download

 

Components on page 10 for more information.) Any changes

 

to these settings apply to new client machines only and will not affect

 

previously configured machines. The settings here apply to

 

Internet and/or LAN users as defined in the Assign LAN/

 

Internet Address Range(s) in Global Assignments (see

 

above). The default is to download all components to all

 

clients. For Windows clients you can selectively choose any

 

combination of settings; for Macintosh or Linux clients, any

 

one selection will download all components for all clients.

 

MPEG-1 Video Support – makes MPEG-1 files playable.

 

MPEG-2/1 Video Support – makes both MPEG-2 and

 

MPEG-1 files playable.

 

MPEG-4 – makes MPEG-4 files playable.

 

• WM Video Support for Firefox on Windows PC – makes

 

Windows Media files playable on Firefox.

 

• 'Add Video' Utility – enables or disables the "add video"

 

functionality on client machines.

 

 

MPEG-2 Packet Ordering

Network hardware infrastructure determines the order in

at Schedule End

which packets arrive at a destination. To improve video

 

quality, VBrick MPEG-2 appliances reorder packets by

 

default. Since this reordering can cause an increase in latency

 

and affect applications like video conferencing, you can set

 

packet ordering to disabled at schedule end.

 

 

Stored Schedule Mode

Used when creating a live broadcast schedule for stored

 

content. Note that the following parameters are "sticky."

 

They remain associated with the schedule even if the Stored

 

Schedule Mode is subsequently changed.

 

• Content Centric – content titles are shown; content

 

servers are not shown. The content is downloaded from

 

load-balanced servers.

 

• Server Centric – content servers are shown with a tree

 

control for selecting content. The content is downloaded

 

from a specific server and is not load balanced.

 

 

External Player Mode

Windows only. Determines whether or not multiple streams

 

can be displayed by launching external player windows.

 

Default = Single. You can launch multiple windows but you

 

can only record one stream at a time.
