Servers; Decoders; Archivers - VBrick 9000 Admin Manual

Servers

There are 16 available for configuration. Each references a stream that can be served.
Servers
The configuration parameters are divided into one common section (on the Global page) and
another section (on the Servers page) which are used to configure an individual server. The
encoder is a streaming server that can be controlled by a remote decoder client via RTSP and
RTCP protocols. In server mode, a served program does not become active on the network
until requested by a client. The client, for example, could be a software player like
StreamPlayer or QuickTime, or a set top box. See Servers more for information.

Decoders

VBrick decoders deliver high-quality, low latency video with exceptional performance, ease-
of-use, and flexibility. The decoder is fully compatible with 7000/9000 Series encoders and
supports video resolutions up to 1080p. The VBrick decoder is designed to deliver the
highest video quality with low latency. The embedded operating system and the dedicated
decoding hardware provide the highest reliability for mission-critical applications.

Archivers

There are four available for configuration. An is used to store a local copy
Archivers Archiver
of a stream on existing internal or external hard drives. (Only transport streams can be
archived.) Each archiver references a transport stream which is basically comprised of a
Video Rate, an Audio Rate, and a Transport Type. Archiving can be controlled locally or it
can be controlled from VEMS. VEMS can start and stop an archive and FTP files to and
from the encoder. See Archivers more for information.
