Establish conventions
The following conventions are recommended to make your NewsBrowse system
easier to work on and understand. Refer to these sections as necessary as you
configure your system.
Machine naming convention
Choose a root name (based on the site, etc.) and use the following convention for
naming machines.
Channel naming convention
In general, channel counting begins at one (not zero), with the first channel assigned
to the first channel in the first Profile in the system. Keep channel names short, as they

system using MPVS1104:
With this naming convention, if there is a problem, you can use the channel number
to quickly determine which encoder and which Profile are affected.
