| This string is shown in StreamPlayer. Default = "My Author." |
|
|
Copyright | A string in the announcement that can be used to identify the |
| copyright information. This string is shown in StreamPlayer. Default |

|
|
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. |
