Advanced Settings

for VBricks and STBs as necessary. As noted, it is unlikely

you will ever need to change these settings. In all cases you can safely ignore these
settings and use the defaults provided by the Portal Server.
These settings generally set configuration options for source devices and destination
devices (VBricks and STBs) so that they are configured properly (e.g. transmit/receive
enabled/disabled) at the beginning and end of an emergency broadcast. All required
devices must be present and enabled for a successful emergency broadcast. The settings
differ depending on the device (e.g. MPEG-1, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4) you select and may
include some or all of the fields explained below.

Note

Advanced Settings

are available to configure VBricks and STBs with exceptional

configuration parameters. It is unlikely you will ever need to change these settings. In
all cases you can safely ignore the
