3.6.3. Assigning a Player Destination
Introduction
If a player channel is linked to an INport of a router, the media loaded on the player
channel is sent to the OUTport(s) of the router associated to this INport.
IPDirector users with appropriate user rights have the possibility to switch the assignment
between router INports and router OUTports. So, the media loaded on a server player
channel will be sent to another destination as soon as the router OUTport assigned to the
channel has changed. Several OUTports can be associated to a single player channel.
This operation can be done from the Channel Explorer and from the Control Panel. A
switch from an application automatically applies to the other one.
Prerequisites
• The appropriate configuration must have been done from the Remote Installer
regarding the communication parameters and the association of router IN ports
physically linked to player channels.
• The Router Control service is started.
How to Assign a Router OUTPort to a Player Channel
To assign an OUT port of a video router to a player channel from the Channel Explorer or
to change the assignment, proceed as follows:
1. Right-click the player channel name from the Tree view or the Player view.
A contextual menu is displayed.
