Figure 45 - COM2000 EPG Page
Following is a brief explanation of each field available on the
EPG
page as shown above:
DestIP
This field represents the IP address of the device you wish to send the EPG data to. In a typical
installation, this will be the address of the edge QAM device. The default value is
0.0.0.0
.
Typically this will be the IP address of the QAM6 card you are going to use for the EPG channel.
In this example it is the second QAM on chassis 1, 1921.168.2.18
Note: the default value of
0.0.0.0
can be entered at any time to disable the EPG channel.
DestPort
This field represents the port number that is to be used to map the EPG to a specific QAM
channel. The default value is 0.
TimezoneOffset
This field is used to tell the COM46 to shift the guide data by the appropriate amount of time to
account for the property’s time zone. Example values can be seen to the right of the field. The
default value is 0.
TimezonePsip
This field allows DCI401 boxes to align with TVs using PSIP. Most TVs have a time zone setting,
the DCI401 is based on GMT. Offset for GMT to synchronize a TV using a DCI 401 to a direct
tuning TV. The same values are used as in the Timezone Offset field.
