Using
Recorder
for
EBR
vs.
CR
If you are planning to use the same Recorder for both event-based recording (EBR) and continuous
recording (CR), please note that the RM will set the output format to HLS version 4 so as to
accommodate CR. If you wish to change the output format to something else for EBR, the following
two rules should be followed when configuring a Recorder:
•
Use separate Packagers for EBR and CR, -and-
•
Do not change anything in the
configuration >> output >> format >> hls
menu of the
Packagers.
Note:
For HLS output, a Packager, whether it is operating as a Recorder or a JITP server, can output
either only HLSv2 or only HLSv4, but not both versions at the same time.
RM
Licensing
The
RM
has a built-in License Server that manages licenses for management. If desired, the
RM
can use
an external License Server; in this case, you must configure the RM to point to the IP address or host
name (DNS name) for the external server where the Licensing Application is installed.
For an
RM
application that leverages the localhost License Server, you must upload a new license key
file to update licensing for the
RM
.
Note:
Using the RM as its own license server (localhost) is the most typical method of licensing.
