standard Ethernet port or optional network adapters. Supported devices for media

the iVDR network settings prior to attempting media transfers.

For each supported protocol, the iVDR provides a protocol-specific application.
Supported protocols includes VCDP or AMP protocols over RS422 or Ethernet.

GPI triggers – GPI input triggers can be assigned to channels to control actions such
as record, play, stop, and skip a playlist event. GPI output triggers can be defined for
