Recorders
A Recorder server enables recording by Portal Server users. If a recorder server is not created
here, any attempt to record a live stream or a stored video will fail. Once enabled, users must
also be assigned the appropriate permissions (see Allow Content Recording on page 86).
(Note: Do not confuse a Recorder server with a Network Video Recorder which is a a
separate product. See the ETV Network Video Recorder Release Notes for more information.)
T To add a Recorder configuration:
1. Go to
Global Settings > Recorders

are defining the configuration for an STB that will be added to the network at a later
time. In this case, you will need to know the configuration data in advance.

Portal Server on a system without a D: drive, you must subsequently go to

field shows the default number of concurrent recording sessions allowed.
If you need more than 2 concurrent recording sessions, you must purchase a Network Video
Recorder.
