names are allowed but not recommended.)
Each
Schedule Type subsequently has a different wizard depending on the selections
you make but basically, you select the source stream (which can be a live or stored
broadcast), the downstream targets (VBricks or STBs) to which it will be broadcast, and
configure any
Advanced Settings (see note below) for the VBricks or STBs. When done
the template you created is available to authorized Portal Server users as an Emergency
Broadcast template. See the ETV Portal Server v3.1 User Guide for more information.
Note
Advanced Settings are available to configure VBricks and STBs with exceptional
configuration parameters. It is unlikely you will ever need to change these settings.
In all cases you can safely ignore the
Advanced Settings and use the defaults
provided by ETV Portal Server.
