Delete Recorded Files After
Ingestion Used with scheduled recording and push button recording.
Specifies whether or not to delete the recorded file from the
NVR after ingestion. Enabled by default.
Specify Components to
Download to Clients This setting defines whether the Portal Server will download
additional components to client machines when the client first
makes contact with the Portal Server—before any streams or
assets are selected for playback (see Downloading
Components on page 10 for more information.)
Any changes
to these settings apply to new client machines only and will not affect
previously configured machines.
The settings here apply to
Internet and/or LAN users as defined in the
Assign LAN/
Internet Address Range(s)
in Global Assignments (see above).
The default is to download all components to all clients. For
Windows clients you can selectively choose any combination
of settings; for Macintosh or Linux clients, any one selection
will download all components for all clients.
• MPEG-1 Video Support – makes MPEG-1 files playable.
• MPEG-2/1 Video Support – makes both MPEG-2 and
MPEG-1 files playable.
• MPEG-4 – makes MPEG-4 files playable.
• WM Video Support for Firefox on Windows PC – makes
Windows Media files playable on Firefox.
• 'Add Video' Utility – enables or disables the "add video"
functionality on client machines.
MPEG-2 Packet Ordering
at Schedule End Network hardware infrastructure determines the order in
which packets arrive at a destination. To improve video
quality, VBrick MPEG-2 appliances reorder packets by
default. Since this reordering can cause an increase in latency
and affect applications like video conferencing, you can set
packet ordering to disabled at schedule end.
Stored Schedule Mode Used when creating a live broadcast schedule for stored
content. Note that the following parameters are "sticky." They
remain associated with the schedule even if the Stored
Schedule Mode is subsequently changed.
• Content Centric – content titles are shown; content servers
are not shown. The content is downloaded from load-
balanced servers.
• Server Centric – content servers are shown with a tree
control for selecting content. The content is downloaded
from a specific server and is not load balanced.
