Producer Service
Overview
The Vision
2
Producer Services allows you to create a scheduled TV channel. You can schedule the Producer to
display either MPEG 2 Live Channels or MPEG-2 or MP4 H.264 files from a Vision
2
archive. Schedules run
on a four week loop, then begin again after the four weeks have expired. In the event there is no content
scheduled for a certain period of time, Producer enables you to set an intermission source which automatically
plays either a MPEG-2, MP4 H.264file from a Vision
2
archive or an MPEG-2 Live Channel.
Configuration
Access the Producer page using Producers > Manage Producers.
Note that a Producer service can only use Archives on the same server as the
Producer service or on a NAS
Some MP4 files may not be compatible with the Vision
2
Producer Service. They may
play when accessed via Video on Demand but when used by the Producer and accessed
as a live channel on the client they will not play, or will only play audio. If you see these
symptoms then the file must be re-encoded and uploaded to the Vision
2
archive again
replacing the defective file.
The Producer service cannot display HD h.264 Live Channels
