Run Scripts Using Event Triggers
The event triggering feature lets you use an external switch or power source to control the
functions of the VBrick encoder. See "Event Triggering" in the Getting Started Guide for more
information.
Run Scripts Using the iPhone App
VBrick provides an iPhone app which you can use to monitor the status of 7000/9000 Series
H.264 devices. This app lets you perform basic configuration tasks by running predefined
scripts. You cannot modify configuration parameters except by running a script. See "VBrick
iPhone App" in the Getting Started Guide for more information.
Sample Script

The TCP/IP network can serve as an intermediary between two VBrick encoders and their
serial ports or between a PC application sending IP packets and an encoder's serial port. This
feature supports a wide range of serial applications. End-to-end control is initiated by
enabling or disabling Passthrough. For more about passthrough, and how it can be used, see
the Encoder Getting Started Guide.
