Splicers and Ad Channels
3.1 Setting up splicers
The AdCaster can be configured to work with any number of different splicers.
Splicers are defined in the “Splice Servers” section of the “Config” tab. Figure
3.1 shows what the splicer server configuration screen looks like. Once you are
on this page you can add a splicer by pressing the plus (+) button at the bottom
of the table shown in figure 3.2.
Once you click that button you will be taken to the edit screen where you can

SCTE-30 connection (figure 3.3). Remember that the “splicer name” field value
must exactly match the name parameter in the splicers configuration. You must
refer to the specific splicer’s documentation to see what this value should be.
After you have set the splicer specific parameters you must also specify where
the ad stream is going to be sent. The “Stream IP Address” can be any unicast
or multicast address. For unicast, the destination IP will generally be the IP
address of the splicer’s video network port.
After you have configured your splicer, you will see it listed in the table like
in figure 3.4. You can repeat the above steps to add as many splicers as you
