Configuring Input Channels
Note The Input Channels page is part of the MediaX Suite, which is an optional feature.
The Input Channels page allows you to define channels mapped to a multicast group IP address and port,
where scheduled content is ingested. The Input Channels page also collects a number of values for
metadata generation.
If you upload an EPG file, and you want to modify the metadata for all programs for a channel, then add
the channel in the Input Channels page and enter the modifications in the fields provided. All scheduling
information from the EPG file is listed on the Media Scheduler page. For more information, see the
“Uploading an EPG File” section on page 7-20.
Caution All channel default values specified on the Input Channels page overwrites any metadata information for
future ingested assets of the specified channel. The metadata for the assets already ingested are not
affected.
To define a channel and set the metadata information, do the following:
Step 1 Choose Configure > System Level > Input Channels. The Input Channels page is displayed
(Figure 4-14).
Figure 4-14 Input Channels Page
Step 2 From the Select Channel drop-down list, choose Add New Channel.
Note The Channel Name is automatically generated by combining the Provider and Channel ID fields
with a hyphen (-) between the values.
