stages and verified functionality at each stage, you deploy your remaining
NewsBrowse machines.

Do the following tasks to deploy your remaining NewsBrowse machines, as
appropriate for the machines included in your particular NewsBrowse system. For
instructions, refer to the applicable configuration stages early in this chapter.

• Add backup Profiles. Refer to

“Configure media server: Single-channel encoder”

Add live monitor encoders

If your system uses live monitor encoders, add them to the system as follows:

1. If you have not already done so, cable and configure for network access similar to

the NewsBrowse server.

2. Connect the audio/video feed for an ingest channel.

3. Add live monitor encoders on the Ingest Scheduler Live Feeds configuration page.

4. On each live monitor encoder, start Windows Media Encoder. There should be a

Windows Media Encoder shortcut on the Windows desktop.

5. Open the NewsBrowse application and on the Ingest page verify that the video

stream appears.
