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.
External Announce Settings
These settings configure an external announcement that can be used when the stream is
reflected to a third-party server or a (future) VBrick reflector.
RTCP Transmit Interval If RTCP Transmit is enabled, this setting tells the appliance
how often (in seconds) to send the reports. Default = 10
seconds.
Announce This section is used to announce the RTSP streams to the local
network allowing viewable RTSP announcements in programs
like StreamPlayer. The unit must be on the same segment of the
network or the router must be configured to retransmit
broadcast packets for the announcements to be accessible using
the IP address 255.255.255.255.
