Announce Settings
This section contains parameters that are used to modify announcements from the appliance.
Announcements are advertisement packets that are transmitted by VBrick appliances to other
VBrick appliances and VBrick applications such as the EtherneTV Portal Server and
StreamPlayer. They are used to identify streams present in the network.
SDP File URL Click to play (open) or save the .sdp file. The .sdp file is
retrieved via the HTTP server on the appliance. Paste
this URL into a browser to launch the stream "out-of-
band" using the .sdp file.
The URL address for the .sdp file is based on the
program and transmitter number, for example:
http://
AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD/vbStreamXdY.sdp where: X is the
program number, Y is the transmitter number and
AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD is appliance IP address.
Choose Transmitter to Configure Select from dropdown list. The number of transmitters
is configured on the Program Configuration > Programs
page.
Enable Transmitter Use to individually disable a transmitter. Default =
Disabled. The transmitter must be enabled for streaming
to occur.
Transmitter Name Enter an optional user-friendly name that describes the
transmitter.
Select Video Rate Select from dropdown list: Video Rate1 or None.
Select Audio Rate Select from dropdown list: Audio Rate 1 or None.
Destination Select IP Address or Host Name from the dropdown.
The actual IP address determines whether the stream
will be multicast (e.g. 239.22.118.72) or unicast (e.g.
127.22.118.72). Default = 127.0.0.1 (loopback).
If using a Host Name, you must configure a Domain
Name Server on the System Configuration > Network
page.
Destination Video Port Destination video port for this transmitter. Note that
viewing a unicast and multicast stream (configured on
different transmitters) on the same PC or the same
decoder may not work if the transmitter ports are the
same.
Destination Audio Port Destination audio port for this transmitter.
Estimated Bit Rate Read-only. This is an estimate. The actual bit rate will
vary based on the content.
RTCP Transmit Enable allows RTCP sender reports to be sent from the
VBrick appliance. Default = Enable.
RTCP Transmit Interval If RTCP Transmit is enabled, this setting tells the
appliance how often (in seconds) to send the reports.
Default = 10 seconds.
