Transmitter Settings
The transmitter settings defined here are used for all streams associated with a program.
Copyright
A string in the announcement that can be used to identify the 
copyright information. This string is shown in StreamPlayer. Default 
= "My Copyright." 
Category
An encoder can have an announce 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.
