This section explains the various forms of handling multimedia.
6.5.1
Video Player
VIA offers users the ability to play video at a full HD 1080p/60fps rate. Full
1080p/60fps video is obtained by streaming the video from the VIA Client
application to the VIA Gateway. The video file never le
aves the user’s client device
and is not transferred to VIA.
Below are the two ways you can play video from VIA:
·
File Searching Media Files
§
Select “Multimedia” from your features menu on the parent dashboard
§
Click Add Media in the lower left corner
§
Selec
t a video you would like to add and click “Open”
§
The file is
then displayed within the “My Media” section
§
Double-click the media file and the video begins playing
·
Drag/Drop Media directly to VIA
§
On the left-hand side of the VIA parent dashboard you see a small VIA
logo
§
Select the file you want to play from any folder on your device
§
Drag the file to the logo only. The video does not play if you try to drag
the file to the left, right, below or above the logo
§
Once released, the video automatically starst playing
Note
: When showing videos through VIA, the video is not being transferred from your
device to the VIA unit. All videos are being encoded directly on your BYOD device
through the VIA software and then streamed from your device to the VIA unit. The VIA
unit then decodes the streamed file for playback.
Note
: Without using the VIA software, media files can be played from your device using
native media players you have installed such as QuickTime and/or Windows Media
Player. However, if you choose this method and do not use VIA for video playback, your
video will be only mirrored to the display. Using this method, you may experience lower
frame rates, inconsistent playback and increased latency.
