Page 18: Visibility Management
2.3. Visibility Management The visibility parameters should be individually configured for all the sources being created via Cinegy Route Manager. Setting the visibility means that others are able to see and use the actual source (or group) in the related applications or the RTP client applications (like Cinegy RTP ingestor, Cinegy Air, etc).
Page 19 "This object will not be visible" is set by default. In this mode, the corresponding object is not visible and not available in the related applications and the RTP/UDP client applications. If you want to make this source visible for the selected clients, set the radio button to "This object will be visible for following users and groups".

Page 24: Route Directory Relay Service
3.1. Overview Cinegy Route Directory Service is quick and easy to set up, and works great in small to medium size environments. However, once the number of connected clients increases, or network topology becomes more complex, the polling request model becomes limited.
Page 25: Configuration
With a great number of RTP streams, this configuration can cause network overload. 3.2. Configuration To configure Cinegy Route Directory Relay Service, the ChannelRelay.exe.config file is used. It is located in the same folder with all other Cinegy Route files.
Page 26 RegistryServer – this value should correspond to the central Cinegy Route Directory Service machine to be relayed. This parameter is used to establish connection from the Cinegy Route Directory Relay Service to the core service, and is embedded inside the multicast data as part of any URL entities, so should be consistent and resolvable by all clients.
Page 27 Once configured, Cinegy Route Directory Relay Service should be restarted to reload any changes. Use of network switch tools should show a multicast stream coming from the service, and it is recommended that client traffic is analyzed via network monitoring tools (e.g.
Page 28: Cinegy Route Browser
Chapter 4. Cinegy Route Browser 4.1.
