Using the VB-PC Remote

The VB-PC Remote is a hand-held infrared device you can use to control (stop/start/pause, etc.) any stream running on the Portal Server. The VB-PC Remote is compatible with Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher; it is not compatible with Firefox. The VB-PC Remote can be used for all Portal Server streams (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and WM) and has a line-of-sight range of approximately 40 feet. After you manually start a stream using the Portal Server interface, you can use the VB-PC Remote to control it. The VB-PC Remote includes an IR Remote Control and an IR Remote Receiver that has a USB connector at one end.

TTo use the remote control:

1.Launch the Portal Server and manually start any stream using the mouse pointer on your computer.

2.Control the steam by pointing the remote control at the receiver device and using any of the control buttons listed in Table 7. Only the buttons listed here are operational and the functionality varies slightly depending on whether you are viewing a live stream or a stored stream.
