SOFTWARE PLAYER
1.3.1 INTRODUCTION
To be able to browse media in the Control Panel, you need to assign a player
channel or the Software Player to it.
Using the Software Player, you will be able to play any of the following media

via the GigE network:

• Assign a channel by drag-and drop-operation from the Channel Explorer to the
Control Panel.
• Assign a channel from the Channel field in the Control Panel.
