Control Buttons
The icons on the bottom of the Preview Window control the video. (Note
that the controls shown here for live broadcasts are different from those used for
stored videos.) The buttons shown are for the Windows-based player.
(Macintosh users may see the QuickTime Player buttons.) Mouseover
each button to see the tool tip title.
•Seek – Slider at top. Not used with live video.
•Play – Starts the video stream if it was previously stopped.
•Pause – Not used with live broadcasts.
•Stop – Stops the video from playing. Does not stop recording.
•Record – Records the video to the VOD server. Depending on your
user permissions you may not have the ability to record. Press once to
start recording; press again to stop recording. Click on Status to see
the progress of recording.
•Full – Selecting the icon changes the view to Full Screen. To exit Full
Screen, press Esc on the keyboard.
•Volume – Use slider to adjust volume.
•Mute – Click to mute volume.
•CC On/Off – Turn closed captions on or off.
•Launch External Player – Launches the player in another browser
window along with the control buttons. Once the window is
launched, subsequent selections will play in the external player. The
launched window can be moved or resized. Closing the main ETV
Portal Server window leaves the smaller player on the screen. The
viewer can be resized by dragging from the corners or sides. The
player can also be configured by an administrator so that multiple
streams can be displayed in separate windows. See Viewing Multiple
Streams on page 12.
•Time Counter – The time counter displays the amount of time elapsed
since the viewer began running the currently selected video.
