Hosted Page Viewing URL

The information labelled a–c above is entered on the VBrick appliance Push configuration
page. When the event is initiated (via the Scheduler), the Portal Server turns on the Push
transmit and streams to the remote publishing point. Internal authenticated users are directed
to view the multicast/unicast directly from the VBrick encoder appliance. You can only
initiate the push via a Portal Server "schedule" that turns on a local multicast or unicast
server.
External viewers are directed to the publishing point of the service provider. If the
event presenter wishes to provide event access to non-authenticated viewers via an e-mail, he
would e-mail the interested viewers the hosted page viewing URL (f). This mode does not
require access to the Portal Server and the video will be launched using a Windows Media
Player.
