Receiving and Playing Back Streams

We recommend using Windows Media Player 9 Series (English
version). For instructions on installing Windows Media Player 9
Series, refer to page 52.

To play a multicast stream:

1. Verify that the desired channel is transmitting to a

multicast target.

2. On the Desktop of the receiving client, click

to open

Windows Media Player, the Windows Media Player screen
appears.

3. From the menu, choose Tools and then Options; the

Options screen appears. To define the correct port number,
click the Network tab and set the range of port numbers so
that your transmitting stream’s port number is included.

4. From the menu, select File and then Open, enter the

location of the NSC file and click OK, the stream starts
playing.

If the NSC file resides on the same LAN as Windows
Media Player, enter the network drive in the Open
URL field, for example:
\\PC\shared_folder\File.nsc.

If the NSC file resides on a web server in a folder
called wwwroot, enter the URL, for example:
http://shared_folder/File.nsc.

To start playing, you may also browse to the NSC
file's location and drag the relevant NSC file into the
Windows Media Player window.

For further information on NSC files, refer to page 88.
