les in group1 and aggregation1 according to the priority you set. This
is convenient for users who want players within different groups play the
same multimedia les. You can add / edit aggregation here to help you
manage multiple groups in a fast and exible way.
If the schedule of aggregation
overlaps with schedule of
group, SMP player will play
the group schedule by default.

aggregation “High Priority”
option to overide group
scheduling when setting up
the schedule.
You cannot include one group
into different aggregations. If

32
CMS
CMS server is equipped with the RTB server function only when you
purchase a CMS server installed with CAYIN’s multimedia streaming
card. In RTB SERVER page, you can assign each media input to a
particular
channel and add/edit streaming clients. Please follow the
steps:
1. Login CMS server with the account which is allowed to access the
function: “RTB Server”. Then, switch to “RTB SERVER” page.
2. Enable media inputs and assign each input to a particular channel.
3. Select a signal format (NTSC/PAL), codec and bandwidth based on
your own TV signal.
4. Click [Add/Edit] and assign streaming modes of players. Please
refer to the following table for detailed information.
Broadcast All clients in the network area will receive streaming contents.
Multicast Enable multicast and send streaming packets to those players
which enable this function. Multicasting IP address ranges between
224.0.0.1 and 239.255.255.255.
Unicast Send signals to the player with the particular IP address. To add a
unicast client, please enter a client’s name and its IP address, and
click [Add]. This item will be added into the “Unicast” table. To
delete the existing client in the table, please locate the item and click
[Remove] in the command column.
Regarding “Please contact your dealer or CAYIN Technology for buying
this option.” Message.
There are two possibilities that you read this message on webpage:
1. You have not purchased any RTB license or video capture card from CAYIN. Please
contact our salespeople if you are interested in using real-time broadcasting function.
2. If you have purchased a model with RTB function but the purchase web page is still
shown, it may due to improper connection of the PCI Video capture card inside the
server. Please consult our reseller or distributor.
The number of media inputs
in the “RTB SERVER” page
is decided by the specication
of the multimedia streaming
card which you purchase for
the CMS server. If you see
four media inputs in the page,
it means that this CMS can
manage four streaming signal
inputs.
Theoretically, you can use
broadcast, multicast, and
unicast at the same time.
However, we suggest you
choose only one way to send
streaming signals unless you
are good at network proto-
cols and operation.
