Choose from a list of folders to which a user can have access. A user can have access to 
multiple folders on multiple servers. If the user has access to multiple VoD servers, and the 
folder names are the same on both servers, only one folder name will show up in the list.

The Administrator can limit the types of content that a user can view and/or limit the 
bandwidth that specific users can view. Note that this setting does not apply to URLs that 
were manually added by an administrator (see URLs on page 29).

Administrators can allow a user the ability to publish content to folder(s) on an NXG Video- 
On-Demand Server. This function allows the user access to the 

 page, where users 

can add pre-recorded video content to a VOD. It also allows users to (1) create (and upload) 

 for video files in the folders to which they can publish, to (2) delete video 

content from the VOD server, and (3) to add keyword and description data using the 

 button. To prevent users from deleting content, be sure this option is disabled.

Used for scheduled recording. Administrators can allow a user the ability to schedule the 
recording of live content to a specific folder(s) on an NXG Video-On-Demand Server.  They 
cannot record content to any other folder(s). You must select a folder here to enable

Do Not Allow 
Multicast viewing

This will limit users that are on a non-multicast capable part of the 
network from trying to view multicast video.

Restrict Multicast to  

Kbps

This will limit users to only viewing multicast streams that are a 
certain size or smaller. This works well to maintain bandwidth 
utilization over a particular WAN port.

Do Not Allow RTSP 
viewing

This will limit users from viewing RTSP Unicast Streams from 
MPEG-4 Encoders and from accessing RTSP unicast streams 
from a Video-on-Demand server (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, or 
MPEG-4). This works well to maintain bandwidth utilization over 
a particular LAN or WAN port.

Restrict RSTP viewing 
to  Kbps

This will limit users to only viewing RTSP streams that are a 
certain size or smaller. This works well to maintain bandwidth 
utilization over a particular LAN or WAN port.

If users are provided access to more than one VoD server, when they publish 
content, it will be published to each of the servers to which they have access. This is 
important for clustering purposes.
