DME Admin Guide 89
In the Vbrick ecosystem, a Vbrick H.264 encoder can generate a Smooth Stream to a
Microsoft IIS server that can then deliver it to multiple Silverlight clients or to DME caching
engines. Since IIS servers do not utilize the same caching protocols as the DME, an IIS
server cannot be used as an alternate source.
Field Description
Display Select number of sources (20, 50, or 200) and the number of
available entries in the Alternate Sources table will be adjusted to
match.
Mystro Server Default
Parent
A DME has one Default parent. When the DME receives a request
for content, this is the final place it looks after failing to discover
the content locally, at an alternate source, or being directed to a
content specific parent. The syntax is:
<ip_address>:port
Note: The specified port number overrides the displayed port
number. See
Ports for more information.
Force HTTPS: Secure SSL communication can be enforced between a DME and
any of its parents (selected individually). A DME can also
communicate securely with alternate sources (siblings) on an all or
nothing basis.
Content Specific Parent Certain types of content that can be cached and streamed may not
be created directly by a DME. This can be because a DME cannot
transcode into that type (Smooth Streaming or DASH), or simply
because the administrator decided not to do that with a specific
device. In this case, an administrator can name an "alternate
parent" for a specific type of content. The DME will look to the
alternate parent when a specific type of content is requested, is not
in cache, and cannot be located on an alternate source. In all cases
the syntax is:
<ip_address>:port
Note: The specified port number overrides the displayed port
number. See
Ports for more information
