VBrick SDK

The VBrick Software Development Kit enables individuals having a wide variety of abilities to build applications around VBrick appliances to schedule, record, store, forward, manage, and control VBrick appliance features. Advanced programming skills are not required in order to utilize the functionality of the SDK. A basic knowledge of HTML and web development is enough to create programs that address a specific need. Developers may easily create applications using popular program languages such as Visual C++, Visual Basic, VBScript, Javascript, or through the command line interface. The SDK comes with specific source code examples. VBrick has SDKs for the following devices:

•VB1000-2000-3000 SDK – for MPEG-1 devices.

•VB4000-5000-6000 SDK– for MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and WM devices
