Overview
VBrick's EtherneTV Media Distribution System provides the ability to view live and stored
WM (Windows Media) streams directly on a television or monitor by using the ETV IP
Receiver. The IP Receiver is integrated with the EtherneTV Portal Server and the ETV
video-on-demand (VOD) servers to enable viewing of stored and live WM streams. The IP
Receiver can also be deployed as a standalone decoder without the need for a Portal Server.
As explained on the following pages, the IPR can be configured to operate in one of three
modes:
Portal Server, Local (standalone), Local-Fullscreen (standalone). When the installation
includes a Portal Server, the IPR is directed to the Portal Server for user control—the
graphics and user interface reside on the ETV Portal Server. When the IPR is deployed
independently of the Portal Server, it comes equipped (in
Local mode) with a user interface
and internal graphics. The IP Receiver can be configured using a standard web browser.
