Scheduling Recordings Remotely

SnapStream.Net can be used to schedule recordings over the internet when access to the Enterprise Server is not available. Remote recordings are stored on SnapStream.Net and retrieved automatically by Enterprise TV.

Notes:

·

the SnapStream Enterprise TV Server must be running and have an active connection to the Internet in order for this function to work properly.

·

the SnapStream Enterprise TV Server checks SnapStream.Net for remote recordings at intervals of approximately 15 minutes. This means that if a recording is scheduled less than 15 minutes from time of scheduling, Enterprise TV may not pick up the remote recording in enough time to begin the recording.

·

Conflict Resolution is not available in SnapStream.Net. The user can choose what priority remote recordings are added at in the SnapStream.Net Settings section of the ViewScape Interface.

.
