Vbrick Multicast
Vbrick Multicast is a Rev + DME feature that provides plugin-less multicast to Vbrick’s Rev
player. Browsers are adopting ever increasing security protocols and sand-boxing of running
code – these are all good improvements for the security of our environments. Browsers
cannot natively receive UDP packets that multicast would utilize. Therefore, Vbrick has
developed a PC and Mac multicast agent that can be silently installed by corporate IT
departments. (Please refer to Vbrick Rev and Vbrick Multicast
documentation (under Rev
Supplementary Documentation) to get the agent and deploy it.) Computers with this agent
will, in accordance to settings on Rev, receive Vbrick Multicast.
All configuration of Vbrick Multicast is performed in Rev. You may still enable and disable
on the DME, but please centralize all control within Rev.
This is a different form of multicast that should not be confused with Flash Multicast. In
addition to this new Vbrick Multicast, the DME also still provides full support of deployment
of Flash Multicast (RTMFP) streams that continues to utilize the Flash Player.
To access the Vbrick Multicast fields:
1. Navigate to
Output Configuration > Vbrick Multicast.
Use this page to view Vbrick Multicast streams that have been created in Rev and that have
been pushed to the DME from Rev. Most values that are viewed here are pulled from Rev.
