Please Note:

viewer and contributor accounts.  

Authentication required (Play) 

By default, authentication is not required to view a player page or an embedded player. This means 
if a player was embedded in an external website or if the URL of a player page was sent to someone 
they would be able to view the channel without having to login. Checking this option will require 
that the user login with a valid account before the player loads.

When enabled the currently logged in user’s 

username and hashed password are added to the RTMP 

URL, these are required to be included in the RTMP URL to publish to the channel. Only 
Administrators, Power users and contributors can publish when this mode is enabled. 

Random stream key 

By default, the channel name is used for the stream key, when enabled and random hashed value is 
used instead. Optionally you can also set for this value to change daily.  

Upload channel logo 

Here you can upload a logo, this can be displayed as an overlay on the DVS-200s built in web player, 
it will also be used by the NVD-30/35 decodes when operating in set top box mode. You can select 
its position using the 

Logo Position

 dropdown, selecting 

STB Only 

will result in it not being shown on 

the web player.  

Upload channel poster 

The channel poster is the image shown by the web player before the user hits play. By default, the 
channel poster uses a snapshot from the live MJPEG preview, alternatively you can upload a static 
image. 

Browser Auto play  

When enabled the web player will start playback as soon as the page is loaded.
