The Telestream (Tektronix) Sentry has the ability to show Video Thumbnails, has anyone implemented collecting, storing, and displaying the thumbnails in Dataminer Cube?  If so, can you share how?

I'm not familiar with this device, but in general this is how you can display video thumbnails:

In a Visio shape in Cube: Using "link type" = video, you can choose between some predefined video server devices. If your device isn't there, you can still choose for "generic images" and as image source configure the url of the thumbnail images (usually an url pointing to a jpg).

It's also possible to make use of the videothumbnails webpage (available on any DMA), which can also be displayed inside a Visio shape and also on a dashboard or custom low-code app.
The url is: http://<DMAIP>/videothumbnails/video.htm?type=Generic%20Images&source=http://videodevice/thumbnail/image.jpg

Instead of image thumbnails, it's also possible to show livestream video (if supported by your browser): http://<DMAIP>/videothumbnails/video.htm?type=HTML5&source=http://videodevice/stream/live.m3u (or use type=HTML5-HLS if your stream uses HLS).
