ETV Portal Server Administrator Guide 55
Allow Access to Specific VOD Content
Choose from a list of folders to which a user can have access. A user can have access to
multiple folders on multiple servers. If the user has access to multiple VoD servers, and the
folder names are the same on both servers, only one folder name will show up in the list.
Allow Viewing by Content Type
The Administrator can limit the types of content that a user can view and/or limit the
bandwidth that specific users can view. Note that this setting does not apply to URLs that
were manually added by an administrator (see URLs
on page 29).
Allow Content Publishing
Administrators can allow a user the ability to publish content to folder(s) on an NXG Video-
On-Demand Server. This function allows the user access to the
Add Video page, where users
can add pre-recorded video content to a VOD. It also allows users to (1) create (and upload)
Thumbnails for video files in the folders to which they can publish, to (2) delete video
content from the VOD server, and (3) to add keyword and description data using the
Modify
Info
button. To prevent users from deleting content, be sure this option is disabled.
Allow Content Recording
Used for scheduled recording. Administrators can allow a user the ability to schedule the
recording of live content to a specific folder(s) on an NXG Video-On-Demand Server. They
cannot record content to any other folder(s). You must select a folder here to enable
Default
Content Recording
below. If there is no schedule license, Allow Content Recording is not
shown as an option and
Default Content Recording lets you select any folder. If you add a
schedule license later (using
Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs), Allow
Do Not Allow
Multicast viewing
This will limit users that are on a non-multicast capable part of the
network from trying to view multicast video.
Restrict Multicast to
Kbps
This will limit users to only viewing multicast streams that are a
certain size or smaller. This works well to maintain bandwidth
utilization over a particular WAN port.
Do Not Allow RTSP
viewing
This will limit users from viewing RTSP Unicast Streams from
MPEG-4 Encoders and from accessing RTSP unicast streams
from a Video-on-Demand server (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, or
MPEG-4). This works well to maintain bandwidth utilization over
a particular LAN or WAN port.
Restrict RSTP viewing
to Kbps
This will limit users to only viewing RTSP streams that are a
certain size or smaller. This works well to maintain bandwidth
utilization over a particular LAN or WAN port.
Note If users are provided access to more than one VoD server, when they publish
content, it will be published to each of the servers to which they have access. This is
important for clustering purposes.
