Step 5: Verify Streaming Video and Audio

The last step is to verify the encoder is running properly and streaming audio and video.
Assuming you connected a video source in step one, you can use the VBAdmin management
application or a VBrick StreamPlayer to verify that video is streaming from the encoder.
To Verify Operation with VBAdmin (Windows or Macintosh)

You can verify operation on Windows or Macintosh desktops by playing the stream directly
from the encoder using the VBAdmin management application. This method requires the
Apple QuickTime plugin.
1. Open a browser and launch VBAdmin with the encoder IP Address (step 3 or step 4) in
the following format:
http://<encoder_ip_address>
Then login with
Note: These steps assume that the video source you connected in step 1 is streaming
at 1080i/60. If not streaming at 1080i/60, go to the
page in VBAdmin and set

higher is required. If QuickTime is not installed, you will be prompted to download it
from Apple.
Note: If you have streaming problems with Quicktime 7.0, go to Edit > Preferences >
QuickTime Preferences > Advanced > Video > DirectX and uncheck "Enable
Direct3D video acceleration."
To Verify Operation with StreamPlayer (Windows only):

You can verify operation on Windows desktops by playing the stream directly from the
encoder with StreamPlayer 5.3. VBrick's StreamPlayer application lets you receive and play
streaming video originating from the encoder on a PC. You can download and install
StreamPlayer 5.3 from the VBrick Support Services Downloads Website. Once StreamPlayer
is installed:
1. Launch the StreamPlayer application. Go to Start > All Programs > VBrick >
StreamPlayer.
2. In the IP Address field (near bottom of player) type the following text and press Enter:
vbrtsp://<encoder_ip_address>/vbstream1s1
(type
vbstream1s2...1s3...1s4
3. This will launch the stream in the Windows Media Player. If you hear audio and see
video, you are successfully streaming from the VBrick encoder to your local PC.
