System Configuration : Rev Interface
  
Rev Interface
*To configure the DME to interface with Rev:
1. Navigate to System Configuration > Rev Interface.
To stream and store content from VBrick Rev, you must first configure your DME to integrate with Rev. You must complete the fields below and click Apply before you will be able to add this DME as a device in VBrick Rev.
 
Field
Description
Rev Interface Running
Indicates whether or not the DME service that communicates with Rev is running or not. This service is responsible for communicating with Rev and must be running for communication between the DME and Rev to occur (videos can still be accessed on the DME by Rev). If the service is not running and set to false, toggle and save the Rev Enabled checkbox to restart the service. If you experience further trouble with the service restarting, contact VBrick Support Services.
Rev Enabled
Select to enable integration with Rev with your DME. This allows your DME to be linked with Rev.
Rev Server URL
The URL of your Rev server.
API Key
An API key that is created through the VBrick Rev interface. This key must match the key that is created for the device in Rev’s Device module for the DME.
Please note that the API key may not contain the special characters `"]%&+'<
Default User
Used to define the Uploader metadata attribute when using Rev’s POST uploads/videos API to upload VOD files to Rev. This is normally used when the “no metadata” field is specified in the corresponding JSON file or anytime the Uploader field is not present in the JSON file. It is good practice to specify an Uploader to your video file so it is recommended that the JSON file contain this field or that you use the DME Default User field to specify the Uploader.
If no value is specified in this field, the DME will supply a default value of “DME”.
Important: Whatever value is specified in this field, a valid Rev user account must match that value. For example, if the default value of "DME" is used, a Rev user name of DME must also be present.
See: Required File Types for Bulk Video Upload topic for details.
Default Folder to Store Media
If your DME is designated as a VOD storage device in VBrick Rev, the folder content will be stored in for later access and playback.
MAC Address
The MAC Address of your DME device. VBrick Rev will ask for this address when you add your DME as a device in Rev’s Device module.
Retry Rev Uploads
Click to manually restart a bulk VOD ingestion process to Rev if it fails for any reason. See: Start a Bulk Video Upload to Rev topic.
Once you have successfully configured the DME to interface with Rev, you may perform the integration features that have been implemented for Rev. For more details on those functions, view the Rev Integration Functions help topic.
