Scheduler Tutorials
This section describes the basics of operating the Scheduler application. The
application has the following two operating modes:
„
Schedule play mode
„
Schedule record mode
Schedule Play Mode The schedule play mode allows you to create a schedule list defined playout
properties of streams and playout up to 256 streams continuously. You can set the
start and stop positions, absolute start time, bit rate, and packet size as playout
properties for each stream.
In the schedule play mode, you can play five kinds of stream files:
„
Transport stream (188/204/208) file
„
S-TMCC file
„
