Previewing a Program
You can preview live programs by live split or by joining a multicast broadcast. Live programs can only
be viewed during the scheduled playtime. You can preview a rebroadcast program by joining the
multicast broadcast during the scheduled playtime.
To preview a live Movie Streamer or Windows Media program or scheduled rebroadcast, follow these
steps:
Step 1 Choose Services > Live Video > Live Programs. The Programs Table page is displayed.
Step 2 Click the Day, Week, Month, or Ye a r tab.
Step 3 Click the Play icon next to the name of a program. A program preview window pops up, displaying the
program information with links to view the program.
Note The Play icon only appears while the live program is playing. If a program is not currently
playing, you cannot view it.
Step 4 Click the URL reference link for the program. You have the option to choose a multicast or unicast URL
reference, if such are defined for the program. A new window with the URL reference opens.
To successfully view the program, you must meet these conditions:
• You must be able to access the client network.
• You must have a Windows Media plug-in installed to view Windows Media live programs.
• You must have a QuickTime plug-in installed to view Movie Streamer live programs.
Copying a Program
The copy program feature allows you to create a copy of an existing program and then modify a subset
of attributes, which eliminates the need to re-enter all the program settings each time you create
programs with similar characteristics.
When you copy a program, a duplicate of the program is created and saved to the database. Any changes
that you make to the new copy of the program do not affect the original program and vice versa. Note,
however, that if multicast is configured, the multicast address and port cannot be copied. These
parameters must be unique across the system. If a program address pool is configured, these parameters
can be automatically selected by the system.
To create a copy of an existing program, follow these steps:
Step 1 Choose Services > Live Video > Live Programs. The Programs Table page is displayed.
Step 2 Click the Edit icon next to the name of the program that you want to copy. The Program Definition page
is displayed.
Step 3 Click the Copy Program icon in the task bar. You are prompted to confirm your decision. Click OK.
The window refreshes, displaying ProgramName_dup in the Name field.
Step 4 Edit any program information that you want to change. (See the “Defining a Program” section on
page 5-27.)
