VBrick 9000 Encoder Overview

The VBrick 9000 Encoder supports high definition video resolutions up to 1080p for
incredible quality video at bandwidths of 1 Mbps and up. VBrick encoders also support a
wide variety of standard definition resolutions for lower bandwidth applications, such as
streaming to wireless and mobile devices. VBrick decoders (where applicable on some units)
deliver high-quality, low latency video with exceptional performance, ease-of-use, and
flexibility. The VBrick decoder is fully compatible with 7000/9000 encoders and supports
video resolutions up to 1080p.
VBrick's H.264 streaming video is supported by a number of players including Adobe Flash,
Apple QuickTime, Microsoft Windows Media Player (with VBrick plug-in), and embedded
players for multiple browsers and operating systems. Recorded files can be sent to a Video
On-Demand Server or VBrick's Distributed Media Engine (DME). Each encoder can deliver
streaming video via multicast directly to the IP network, serve live unicast streams via RTSP
for up to 200 clients, or push a unicast stream to 25 destinations.

VBAdmin Overview

The encoder has an integrated management interface (VBAdmin) that lets you manage
VBrick configuration from an external browser. This allows network managers to remotely
configure and monitor the encoders from virtually anywhere. As shown in the table below
you can launch VBAdmin in Internet Explorer or Firefox (other browsers are not supported
by VBrick). You connect to VBAdmin by pointing to the IP Address (for example:
) of the VBrick encoder and logging in with a user name and password. VBAdmin
192.168.5.5
is one of several ways you can manage the encoder. You can also access the Command Line
Interface (CLI) using Telnet, SSH, or the serial port (see the Getting Started Guide for more
information about the CLI). Note that some changes to the configuration will initiate an
automatic reboot. When this happens, wait approximately 60 seconds, then refresh the page
and log back in with your user name and password.
