Advanced settings are enabled if you select a VBrick encoder or a VBStar. Note that the Portal Server will attempt to retrieve and autofill the Multicast IP addresses and Port numbers. You can modify these fields as necessary.

Note The following values are stored in the Portal Server database only. Depending on how a scheduled event is configured, they may be saved and written back to the VBrick device after the scheduled event runs.

Multicast IP

Destination multicast IP address.

 

 

Video Port

Destination video port.

 

 

Audio Port

MPEG-4 devices only. Destination audio port.

 

 

CC Port

MPEG-4 devices only. Closed captioning port.

 

 

Control Devices

Control devices let you configure a video source device so that it can be controlled by end users from the Portal Server user interface. (An example of a video source device is a DVD or VCR directly connected to a VBrick encoder.) Once configured, a special icon on the Live Broadcasts page indicates you can control the stream using a "virtual" remote control panel as shown in Figure 7 below. VBrick currently supports DVDs and VCRs from several different manufacturers as well as the VBrick VBIR remote controller that can be customized for use with a wide variety of source devices. See Adding User-Defined VBIRs below for more about VBIRs.
