Making the Program Guide Available on your Website

1. Open the HyperCaster Web Application port (typically port 50000) on your router or firewall.
Consult your IT department for how to do this properly at your installation.

2. Link to the web site program guide module. The format for the link is

http://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn:50000/external_schedule/simple_day_schedule?id=#

where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the public IP address that routes port 50000 to the HyperCaster
and # is the channel id, such as “1” for output channel 1, “2” for output channel 2, etc… on a
multi-channel server.

3. Regularly set the metadata for your content and events so the Program Guide will show useful
information.

Users can select the day they want to view your schedule using the Calendar Picker. The
results show the program start times, the program names, and the next air date for each
program.

Users can also search the Program Guide by keyword to find specific air times of their favorite

shows.

4. To link to the external Program Guide from your own website HTML code, insert code using the
following format:

Schedule For Channel
10

where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the server IP address and # is the channel number.

Copying the Program Guide to a Text File

1. Go to the program guide page at

http://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn:50000/external_schedule/simple_day_schedule

for a single-channel system or

http://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn:50000/external_schedule/simple_day_schedule?id=#

for a multi-channel system

where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the public IP address that routes port 50000 to the Digital
Broadcaster and # is the channel id, such as “1” for output channel 1, “2” for output channel
2, etc… on a multi-channel server.

2. Highlight and copy the text you want.

3. Open a simple text editor such as NotePad, WordPad, or TextEdit and paste the text into a blank
file.

4. If you need the schedule for more dates, use the calendar picker at the left to display another date
and repeat Steps 2 – 3.

5. Rename and save the file to a local drive or device.

Scheduling a Live Switch Event whose Actual Duration Varies

Live events can be shorter or longer than the time you originally scheduled. For example your station
might schedule a weekly, two-hour switch to the camera at the high school basketball game. If the
game runs long you will want to continue to broadcast it. If the game ends early you will want to show
your viewers a related program.
