VBrick Systems Comprehensive Guide to Configuring VBrick Recorder for Home Theater Server

3.In Select STB, select one or more existing STB for which a SAP has been received. This populates the STB Configuration panel. (If you select multiple STBs, it does not populate the panel; if you need to configure the STBs, you must add them one at a time.)

4.Complete or modify the fields in STB Configuration as necessary and click Submit. This adds the new configuration to the list of configured STBs shown on the previous page.

Note The only time you will manually complete the STB Configuration fields is when you are defining the configuration for an STB that will be added to the network at a later time. In this case, you will need to know the configuration data in advance.

Recorders

A Recorder server enables recording by Portal Server users. If a recorder server is not created here, any attempt to record a live stream or a stored video will fail. Once enabled, users must also be assigned the appropriate permissions (see Allow Content Recording on page 98).

(Note: Do not confuse a Recorder server with a Network Video Recorder which is a a separate product. See the ETV Network Video Recorder Release Notes for more information.)

Note By installation default, all recordings are stored on the D: drive. If you install ETV Portal Server on a system without a D: drive, you must subsequently go to Global Settings > Recorders and change the record path as necessary. Also, the Max Recording field shows the default number of concurrent recording sessions allowed. If you need more than 2 concurrent recording sessions, you must purchase a Network Video Recorder.

TTo add a Recorder configuration:

1.Go to Global Settings > Recorders.
