In some cases you may wish to connect the Amino directly to a VBrick MPEG-2 appliance without using the Portal Server. In this case the attached monitor will display the single stream from the appliance in full screen mode.

TTo connect an Amino directly to an MPEG-2 appliance:

1.Open the management interface on the Amino (Alt-m).

2.Navigate to Browser Setup > Home Page.

3.In the Home Page field, enter the IP address of the VBrick appliance in the following

format: igmp://<vbrick_ipaddress>:port

4.Reboot the Amino to display the MPEG-2 stream from the VBrick in full screen mode on the monitor.

Configuring the Remote Control for a TV

The Amino handheld IR remote control is designed to work with the Amino set top box. During normal operation, the STB/TV button (see the Portal Server User Guide) should be set for STB. It can, however, be configured to work with a standard TV. In order for the remote to transmit the correct signals to control the TV, it must be programmed with a 3-digit code that matches the TV. See the Amino Remote Controls User Guide for more information.
