Streaming to SubC SecureEdge
SubC SecureEdge Server is a Stream Server that you install in your LAN and use to stream video within your LAN. SubC SecureEdge Server requires a SecureEdge License added to your SubC Software License. See Data Security and Streaming for more details.
SubC SecureEdge Server service differs from SubC’s Cloud Stream Servers service in that SecureEdge streaming remains within your LAN.
You do not need Internet access when you use a local SubC’s SecureEdge Server
You do not need to Activate your SubC Software desktop application host system with SubC Cloud Streaming Service Group (unless you also want to be able to stream your SubC Software Channels to SubC Cloud Stream Service and invite others onshore/outside of your LAN to view those Channels via SubC Presentations through their Internet browsers).
If you wish to implement SubC Secure SecureEdge Server in your LAN, please contact sales@subcimaging.com for pricing and installation details.

On one of your SubC Software application host system within your LAN, configure a Channel with video input and stream it to your Edge Server.
On a SubC DVR+ system within your LAN, configure a Channel with a video Input (Rayfin, Capture Card, IP Address, Presentation or Window/Screen Capture), select Menu → SecureEdge and connect to your SecureEdge Server.
Click the Start SecureEdge Streaming button
The SecureEdge Streaming button will change to include a red square - indicating that the Channel is now actively streaming to the SecureEdge Server.
Click this button again when you wish to Stop the Channel streaming to the SecureEdge Server.
