The program is a single event defined by a start time and date, an end time and date and other parameters that vary according to the type of programming adopted. Each recording session is linked to a specific programming event.
The standard programming types provided by Interact Webcasting services comprise:
- Simply Schedule - Single Programming
The program is the single basic type of programming time. You can only set the start time and date end of recordings and is suitable, for example, for occasional TV shows. - Interval Schedule - Programming intervals
This type of programming is adapted for broadcasting content on a regular basis. The start time and date end define the period in which the program is active, while the length of the recordings and their rotation is specified by parameters such as length (expressed in seconds, for example "3600" means that the registration will last a 'hours) and range (which defines the delay between the two recordings, such as "3600" means that the next recording will start after one hour from the previous one). The Interval programming is particularly suitable for monitoring. You can toggle the live footage recording by configurating two Interval schedules. - Week/day Schedule - Daily Schedule
The daily schedule allows you to set the recording so that it is repeated on the days of the week selected.
