The iVDR supports streaming media transfers over the standard Ethernet adapter or
optional network adapters. Streaming transfers allow playout while the asset is still
transferring. Destination devices for streaming include other M-Series iVDRs, the
Grass Valley Profile XP Media Platform, or any device that supports SMPTE 360M
streaming transfers. Lists or programs streamed to the Profile XP platform are
converted to a “master” in the Profile XP media file system.
You must configure an iVDR network adapter prior to using the “Send to stream”
feature. Refer to

procedure.
