Overview
The user interface of the WM IPR screen depends on the Start mode. Once configured with
an IP address and powered on, the IPR opens in one of three Start modes. In
Local-Fullscreen mode you can view only one channel and it uses the entire screen on the
attached monitor; there are no user controls whatsoever. In
Portal Server mode, all features
and options of the IPR are controlled through the VBrick Portal Server. In Local mode, the
IPR displays a user interface page that is stored on the IPR web server; the available streams
on this page are configured on the IWS
General Configuration page. You can use the IR
Remote Control that comes with the IPR to navigate in Portal Server mode and in Local
mode. (You can also plug a USB keyboard and mouse into the back of the IPR to perform
navigation tasks.)
Local-Fullscreen Mode
If the IPR Start Mode is set to Local-Fullscreen mode (Figure 9), there will be a (live or
stored) video image on the TV monitor at system startup. This image is controlled by the
system administrator. It covers the entire screen and there are no user controls shown or available.
The IR Remote Control is non-functional in this mode except for
Volume and Mute. The
video image is programmed to decode a specific stream. This stream is preset on the General
Configuration
page; the audio output volume is preset on the Decoder Configuration page.
