To access the Flash Multicast fields:

.
This page will allow you to convert a stream to Adobe’s Flash Multicast. This protocol can be
played by existing, fielded Flash players removing the need to distribute players for multicast
playback. Vbrick continues to see the necessity and need for multicast within the enterprise
environment and provides Flash Multicast as an alternative for this support.
The most common use case here is for organizations to unicast a stream from a central
location to one or more remote DMEs, where that DME then multicasts to local viewers.
Application The application is defined by the destination. For example, when
sending to another DME, the string should be
live, vbApp, vbrick,
or
vod.
When sending to a CDN, the string will need to be extracted from
the publishing URL the CDN gives to you.
An example publish to URL from a CDN such as Edgecast is:
rtmp://fso.dca.A3CD.edgecastcdn.net/20A3CD/HLSTest/
vBrick?xZ7q0oCEoQ6hvqp5
Where:
• Target Name =
vBrick?xZ7q0oCEoQ6hvqp5
• Destination =
fso.dca.A3CD.edgecastcdn.net
• Application =
20A3CD/HLSTest
Emulate (o) Optional May be required for some destination devices.
swf URL (o) Optional May be required for some destination devices.
Page URL (o) Optional May be required for some destination devices.
User Name Required if client-side authentication is required by the destination
server

server
Enable Use dropdown to enable or disable the stream. All streams are disabled
by default.
