Item	Description
Specify Components to	This setting defines whether the Portal Server will download
Download to Clients	additional components to client machines when the client
	first makes contact with the Portal Server—before any
	streams or assets are selected for playback (see Download
	Components on page 10 for more information.) Any changes
	to these settings apply to new client machines only and will not affect
	previously configured machines. The settings here apply to
	Internet and/or LAN users as defined in the Assign LAN/
	Internet Address Range(s) in Global Assignments (see above).
	The default is to download all components to all clients. For
	Windows clients you can selectively choose any combination
	of settings; for Macintosh or Linux clients, any one selection
	will download all components for all clients.
	• MPEG-1 Video Support – makes MPEG-1 files playable.
	• MPEG-2/1 Video Support – makes both MPEG-2 and
	MPEG-1 files playable.
	• MPEG-4/H.264 – makes MPEG-4/H.264 files playable.
	• WM Video Support for Firefox on Windows PC – makes
	Windows Media files playable on Firefox.
	• 'Add Video' Utility – enables or disables the "add video"
	functionality on client machines.
MPEG-2 Packet Ordering	Network hardware infrastructure determines the order in
at Schedule End	which packets arrive at a destination. To improve video
	quality, VBrick MPEG-2 appliances reorder packets by
	default. Since this reordering can cause an increase in latency
	and affect applications like video conferencing, you can set
	packet ordering to disabled at schedule end.
Stored Schedule Mode	Used when creating a live broadcast schedule for stored
	content. Note that the following parameters are "sticky."
	They remain associated with the schedule even if the Stored
	Schedule Mode is subsequently changed.
	• Content Centric – content titles are shown; content
	servers are not shown. The content is downloaded from
	load-balanced servers.
	• Server Centric – content servers are shown with a tree
	control for selecting content. The content is downloaded
	from a specific server and is not load balanced.
External Player Mode	Windows only. Determines whether or not multiple streams
	can be displayed by launching external player windows.
	Default = Single. You can launch multiple windows but you
	can only record one stream at a time.
Client Multiple Monitor	The Portal Server supports dual client monitors. However, if
Setup	you experience problems when using a second monitor,
	disable the DirectX component VMR9.
