VB-PC Remote Controller
The VB-PC Remote is a handheld infrared device you can use to control (stop/start/pause,
etc.) any stream running on the Portal Server. The VB-PC Remote is compatible with
Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher; it is not compatible with Firefox. The VB-PC Remote can be
used for all Portal Server streams (MPEG, WM, and H.264) and has a line-of-sight range of
approximately 40 feet.
After you manually start a stream using the Portal Server interface, you can use the VB-PC
Remote to control it. When using the remote controller, the computer running the Portal
Server basically acts like an IP Receiver that you can control with the remote control. The
VB-PC Remote includes an IR Remote Control and an IR Remote Receiver. The computer to
which it's attached must have an available (1.1 or 2.0) USB port. Note that the VB-PC Remote
is installed on client machines connected to the Portal Server. It is not part of the Portal Server
installation and must be installed separately on each client machine. See the VB-PC Remote Product
CD for details and installation instructions.
