1: Introduction
Brick's EtherneTV-NXG server has been integrated with the EtherneTV family of
products including the EtherneTV-MCS Media Control Server, MPEG-1/2/4
streaming encoders, Windows-based desktop computers (future Apple MAC
support for MPEG-4 only) and the EtherneTV-STB. The EtherneTV-NXG delivers
stored MPEG assets as unicast streams (with full VCR-like functionality such as
Stop/Pause/Play/FF/Rew) across an Ethernet network. The EtherneTV-NXG is built on a
DELL hardware platform. Other features include the ability to schedule asset playback,
asset searching, user and system statistics, plus much more. EtherneTV-MCS is required
to gain the full benefits of the EtherneTV-NXG server and is sold separately.
In order to set up the EtherneTV MCS server, please follow the directions in the EtherneTV
MCS Administrator’s Guide. Once the EtherneTV MCS server is setup and configured, then
end users can access video the EtherneTV-NXG server through the MCS web interface.
VBrick uses its own software-based components to decode streams on the desktop. There is
no client side software to install. The EtherneTV-MCS automatically downloads components
to the desktop PC upon the user’s initial access to the system.
