TelVue AdCaster - Manual (Page 5)

Figure 1.2: During an ad break, the AdCaster will send a replacement ad, and
the Splicer will insert it.
1.2 A Basic Setup
The AdCaster standard configuration has four copper Ethernet ports labeled
eth0, eth1, eth2, and eth3. An additional two copper, or two fiber ports can be
optionally outfitted, normally during factory build. eth0 is usually configured
to be the control port which will provide access to the web app. The rest are
usually configured as the media ports and should be placed on the same network
as the media port on the respective splicers. As seen in figure 1.3, the multiplex
(audio and video data) is usually isolated to a single network, and the control
another. The control network may also contain a traffic and billing server, a
storage server for centralizing media and scheduling data, and other control
interfaces for different equipment.
Figure 1.3: This is an example of how the AdCaster could be set up on a
network. Here the 192.168.1.x network is the control network allowing access to
the AdCaster web app. The 172.16.100.x network is the video network.
