8 Requester Configuration
A requester is a software object assigned to a transmission list that forwards the ID of
a missing media event to distributors. The distributor responds to the requester and, if
the distributor’s source device contains the missing media, forwards the ID to the
GMT list. The GMT list moves the media to the destination device specified in the
requester. A requester can request media based on a push model (for preloading of
media) or a pull model (for a static or running playlist).
Most system configurations only require one requester per transmission list; however,
additional requesters may be added to segregate the types of material, such as
commercials and programs, that will be requested from distributors.
Systems using air and protect devices require an additional requester per
transmission list; one for each device.
The following example is a generic requester. Your requester may have slightly
different configuration options. If necessary, refer to the User Notes for your device for
complete details on how to configure it.
Right-click on the configured device (see Figure 2-2 on page 2-4 and Figure 2-5 on
page 2-7), then choose Properties. A dialog box with multiple tabs appears. Use the left
and right arrows at the upper right to scroll through the other tabs. Each tab is
discussed in order here:
