Field description
Usage tips
URLs for Main and Dual video
streams and choose whether
you want the filename (in this
case the sdp filename) to be
appended to the alternate URL.
Server. The QuickTime or Darwin Streaming
Server uses this file to know how to stream
the media.)
Live multicast streaming settings
Multicast IP address
A destination multicast IP
address in the range 224.0.0.1
to 239.255.255.255. The
multicast address depends on
the network configuration.
Streaming port
range start
The port number for the start
streaming port range between
10000 and 65000. It must be an
even number.
TTL
The multicast time to live (TTL)
threshold.
This value tells the network how far multicast
packets should be allowed to travel across
the network. The default threshold is LAN
(TTL=32). The value “Subnet” (TTL=1)
means that packets do not pass the first
network router and should mean a multicast
stream is viewable on any network, even
those not enabled for multicast, where the
client is on the same subnet as the Content
Server.
The efficacy of higher values: LAN
(TTL=32), WAN (64), Internet (128),
Unrestricted (255) depends on the network
configuration.
On demand settings
Write movies to the
default media
location
Select to have media to be
written to the Content Server’s
default media location: this will
either be the E drive of the
Content Server or an alternate
storage location if you have a
NAS configured.
Do not select this option if you are streaming
from an external streaming server.
You can check the default media storage
location in the
Server overview. The default
media location for MPEG-4 for QuickTime
files is (media location)\data\www.
Write movies to an
alternate location
Select to write media to an
external streaming server using
a shared drive or UNC path.
Choose this option if the streaming server is
on an external server which has a shared
drive accessible to the Content Server.
Enter the shared drive or UNC path, e.g.
\\server name\shared in the Alternate path
field.
FTP movies to
location
Select to use FTP to transfer
media files to the external
streaming server after the call
has ended.
Choose this option if the streaming server is
on, or can access a shared drive on, an
external server that is running an FTP
service.
If you select this option, complete the other
fields in this section. Then check the FTP
upload functionality by clicking Test FTP.
FTP upload is also tested every time the
Media server configuration is saved.
