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. |

| 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 |
