Scripts
Scripts work with script devices. Scripts are used to control the operation of MPEG-1, 2, or 4
devices or to control non-MPEG devices like cameras and VCRs. (MPEG devices are added
to ETV Portal Server as VBricks. non-MPEG devices are added as Script Devices.) For
MPEG devices, you select the device and build a script by selecting parameters from a
dropdown list—the parameters vary depending on the type of device you select. For non-
MPEG (Other) devices, you write a script from scratch using the native language for that
device. This is for advanced users only. Note that if you are scheduling an event, any device
for which you write a script must be available to the network at runtime.
T To add a Scripts configuration:
1. Go to
Global Settings > Scripts.
Device Name Any user-defined name.
Address Hard-coded device IP address. This can be the address of the
VBrick or Set-Top Box to which the script device is connected.
Port TCPIP port number.
