Categories
StreamPlayer supports Categories. Categories allow the sender to restrict the ability of
network users to see a stream announcement the network. For example, a corporation can
broadcast financial, sales and engineering information from separate VBrick appliances onto
a common network. A Category known to the sender and recipient protects the stream
announcement from being seen by others. A Category entered in the originating VBrick
product can be matched in the StreamPlayer application to permit listing of the stream. The
field is set in the
Configuration: Encoder > Encoder > Announce section of the VBrick
Appliance. To receive the stream, the same Category keyword must be entered under the
Categories tab of StreamPlayer.
To enter a Category, enter the category name and select Add. Once a category is added,
StreamPlayer will receive streams that are transmitted from the VBrick with the same
Announcement (SAP) category entry as well as streams not sent with a Category. For more
information about categories, see the StreamPlayer Administrator Guide.
Program Announcements
The addresses on this window apply to all appliances. They are rarely changed and should not be
modified unless specifically instructed to by VBrick Systems or by a VBrick Certified Partner.
Note StreamPlayer displays all programs in which a VBrick appliance is not advertising a
category. To filter a stream, the VBrick product originating the stream must be
configured with a category.
