Page 5: Introduction
Hardware Versatility The XDS PRO4 can deliver audio received via satellite over any one of its four balanced output ports. Additionally, content can be received and stored locally for later use. This content can originate from a real time satellite broadcast, from a high speed satellite IP distribution channel, or can be retrieved via the Internet over the Ethernet port, if so configured. -
Page 6: Network Management System
Network Management System The PRO4 satellite receiver has been specifically designed so that its output can be controlled via one central web application. This application is called the Network Management System, or NMS. From the NMS, the receiver can be monitored and managed, and the user can set a schedule of live and delayed programs for each output port. -
