Figure 11: VCP Database
The VCP Database option sets the database connection for the Media Sequencer.
If the information was added during the Viz Content Pilot Installation the
information is made available in the External Interfaces window; however, it must
be manually applied.
IMPORTANT! Media Sequencer requires the Oracle 11g Runtime Client.
The VCP Database tab also shows the current database and application client
encoding settings. The application encoding settings can be changed in the
ContentPilit.ini file if the database has another Unicode encoding than UTF8;
however, it is recommended to use Unicode encoding UTF8 on both ends.
