Stored Broadcast

Use these steps to create a schedule for broadcasting a stored video. This means that at the
scheduled date and time a stored video from a VOD server or a VBStar will be added to the

Live Media

page and be available to authorized users for viewing. (You cannot schedule a

broadcast of a video stored on a file server.)

To schedule a stored broadcast:

1. Select a schedule name, time, date, and (optionally) recurrence pattern (see Scheduling an

Event).

2. For

Connection Mode
(MPEG-4 only)

Enter the video source location to connect to using one of the
following. No special characters are allowed. If you enter the IP
Address or Hostname of a VBrick encoder managed by the Portal
Server, the availability will be verified.

• IP Address/Host Name – must include Slot number (if dual

encoder/decoder) and Management Port.

• URL – use

VBHTTP

RTSP

format. For example:

vbhttp://MPEG4Unit1/vbs1d1.sdp

rtsp://172.2.3.4/vbrickvideo1

• SDP on Flash – read the onboard SDP file to make a connection.

Enter the path to where file resides on the VBrick decoder (not in
VEMS Portal Server), for example:

vbs1d1.sdp

• Program Name – any valid Program Name that is available on the

network (or one that will be available on the scheduled date and
time).

Use care when specifying the IP Address/Host Name or the URL
Connection Mode and entering the host name of a VBrick encoder
not managed by VEMS Portal Server. These entries will not be
accessible by IPRs (and in some cases by VBrick decoders either).
Host names must be resolved at some point into IP Addresses and the
processes that accomplish this may not always be available. When
using IPRs or when Host Name resolution is questionable, use the
specific device IP address.
