In the Stream Name field, enter a name for the broadcast stream. This name resembles a clip name
and should use the appropriate extension, either .rm for a constant bit rate stream or .rmvb for a
variable bit rate stream. This name appears in the broadcast URL.
For the Server Address field, enter the IP address or DNS name of the Helix Server used for the
broadcast, such as 207.188.7.176 or helixserver.example.com.
If using a Multicast Address, enter the multicast address for the broadcast stream in the Multicast
Address field. The Multicast Address must be in the range 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.
The Path (optional) field specifies a virtual path, which can be used for archiving or splitting on
Helix Server. Use a simple name followed by a forward slash, such as news/.
For the Port/Port Range field, specify the HTTP port on Helix Server. The default value is port 80,
which is the server's default HTTP port. If multicasting, indicate the range of ports on the Helix
Server receivers where the broadcast packets will be sent. Cisco Digital Media Encoder 2000 and
Helix Server negotiate the actual ports to use once the broadcast begins. The default range is from
30001 to 30020.
In the Username and Password fields, enter the username and password defined in each Helix
Server receiver definition. The broadcast connection fails if the value is incorrect.
The next series of fields activate the Real Encoder's filters to improve video and audio quality.
These filter settings will depend upon the type of content you are streaming and your subjective
preference. It is recommended you experiment with these settings and view their results on a test
capture.
The Cisco Digital Media Encoder 2000 features integrated de-interlacing and inverse telecine filters
that automatically apply when needed. This allows the Cisco Digital Media Encoder 2000 to perform
at maximum efficiency. ViewCast recommends you do not enable the Real encoder de-interlace and
inverse telecine filters since applying filters multiple times can produce undesirable results and
consume additional system resources.
