Vbadmin; Login To The Dme - VBrick dme Admin Manual

DME does not change the resolution of the source stream, although the receiving device will
generally display the stream at its preferred resolution.
Note: When working with streams with closed captions, do not change the
framerate. You can still change the resolution and bitrate, but changing the
framerate will have adverse effects on CC data. In these cases, please keep
framerate set to Current Rate.

The Vbrick DME server has an integrated management interface (VBAdmin) that lets you
manage the DME configuration from an external Web browser. This allows network
managers to remotely configure and monitor the appliances from virtually any location that
has Web access.
