Playing signage video on a ONELAN NTB
ONELAN NTBs are able to receive IPTV streams from Encoded Media products either as multicast or as unicast.

The recommended way to display streams on your NTB is multicast.

Ensure your Encoded Media head-end appliance has multicast enabled
On the Channels page, select the channel you wish to modify, choose Multicast in the URL column and copy the multicast URL
When prompted, be sure you restart the service so that your changes are correctly applied
