Category An encoder can have a SAP Category string. This string consists of one
or more keywords separated by spaces. Each category keyword
represents a tag associated with the encoder's video stream. VBrick
EtherneTV and players can be configured to display in their Program
and Conferencing guides only video streams tagged by specific
category keywords or those containing no keyword. The characters are
ASCII and case sensitive. The maximum number of characters for all
keywords in the string cannot exceed 36 including spaces.
You can also use this field to filter the live streams shown in the ETV
Portal Server by source and client IP address by using the following
string:
IPMask=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx represents a
bit mask. (This string is simply another keyword you can use in
addition to those described above.) The Portal Server will parse the
bitmask and send the live stream only to clients with a masked IP
address that matches the masked IP address of the source VBrick. For
example, a stream with a category
IPMask=255.255.0.0 from a VBrick
with an address of
172.22.6.67 will be available to a client with an IP
address
172.22.3.4 but not to a client with an IP Address 172.16.3.4.
There is no admin interface to this feature on the Portal Server; you
can use this filtering in addition to the standard authorization features
provided by the Portal Server.

Program Guide. Default =

additional information about the session. Maximum 64 characters.

Banner Allows you to specify a banner reference to be included in the .asx file.
The banner image is displayed below the video window during
playback. When set to the special
DefaultBanner string the reference in
the .asx file is set to the banner.gif file on the VBrick. If you do not
wish to use a banner, leave this setting empty. To use your own banner
you can create an image file and place it on a server or shared drive on
your network and enter the URL or path to your banner file (for
example
http://myserver/mybanner.gif or
\\corpserver\images\mybanner.gif.) The location of the banner file
must be accessible by all the player PCs that will be viewing your
stream. Windows Media player will display a banner image up to 32
pixels high by 640 pixels wide.
Rating Allows the operator to set the rating string to be included in the
content description object in the .wmv header.
