STBi3 User ’s Manual
www.zeevee.com
If the guide file is in “Additive” mode only the non-ZeeVee channels need to
be specified in the guide file. The ZeeVee channels will send beacons that
are learned by the STBi3 and those channels will automatically be added
to the guide. In the diagram shown Source4 and Source5 are streams
supplied by non-ZeeVee equipment. Only stream information for Source 4,
and Source 5
need
to be specified in the guide file.
Even in additive mode, the ZeeVee channels can be specified in the guide
file. This allows for the channel number, label, icon, etc., to be altered in one
common place without having to individually manage the ZeeVee sources.
Information provided in a guide file supersedes the information contained
in the beacon.
Exclusive
A channel guide file can be specified such that it is “exclusive”. Guide files
that are exclusive specify that ONLY the channels in the guide file are to be
included in the channel lists presented to the user. Any beaconed or self-
advertised channels are to be ignored by the STBi3 if there is not an entry
in the guide file.
In the diagram shown, if the guide file is specified as
exclusive
, and the only
entries in that guide file are for ZyPerMX-1, ZyPerMX-2, and Source 5, then
any other channel will be ignored and not included in the guide. The only
stream the user will be able to select are for the channels described in the
guide file.
