VDCP Control
VDCP is a common protocol for video servers. Note that only some commands (which means
also functions) are mandatory; many are optional. If optional commands are not implemented
in the disk server, VDCP Simple should be selected instead.
A video server is a system that has hard disk storage for video, and one or more audio/video
channel connected to it. A channel on a server can play or record or both. The number of
channels on the server, and what capabilities they have, are server dependent.
