CatonCaster HD422 User Manual
4.2.17 ESAM
If the ESAM license is enabled, the following menu and options will be available for configuration. The
interfaces with a Placement Opportunity Information Service (POIS) using the CableLabs ESAM (Real-time
Event Signaling and Management) standard. When the ESAM feature is configured, each SCTE35 message
which is received in the incoming stream is sent to the POIS for processing (via the control interface). The
POIS can request that the CatonCaster HD422 replace the message, pass the message with no change, or
delete the message.
Asynchronous SCTE 35 message insertion allows the ESAM server to create and insert SCTE 35
messages onto a specified PID in the transport stream.
