Live Channels
Vision

services output one or more multicast video streams which can be viewed by PC or Set-top box users,
these streams are called Live Channels. Live Channels are managed by Vision
2
and so they are referred to as
managed channels. If you have a third party multicast video stream source then you can add this to Vision
2
as
an unmanaged channel, the unmanaged refers to the fact that Vision
2
does not control the channel. unmanaged
