Adding Control Devices
Use the following windows to define or modify control devices. As noted, these devices will
be displayed on the
Live Broadcasts
page with a special icon for any users with access to that
encoder. If the device is used as a source encoder for a scheduled broadcast, however, only the user who
actually created the schedule will have access during the scheduled period. This prevents other users
from potentially interrupting the broadcast. If the Portal Server does not have a Scheduling
license, all control devices are available at any time to any user with VBrick access and other
permissions. See "Using the Scheduler" in the
Portal Server User Guide for an explanation of
how to schedule events for control devices.
