SAP for Destination 1 and/or 2

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.
Decoders can be configured to display in their Program and Guides
only video streams tagged by specific category keywords or those
containing no keyword. The string(s), used by the Decoder, is set on
the Decoder/Network screen. Note: Characters are ASCII and are
case sensitive. The total of all keywords in the string is 36 characters
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.

establish SAP packet priority in the network.

SAP IP Address

typically set to the Announce Program Guide SAP of the encoder.
