A service group is a set of QAM, MQAM, or GQAM modulator channels that
provide narrowcast (VOD) services to a unique group of set-tops. Service groups
enable a set-top to identify to the VOD server the VOD QAM resources to which the
set-top has access.
provide narrowcast (VOD) services to a unique group of set-tops. Service groups
enable a set-top to identify to the VOD server the VOD QAM resources to which the
set-top has access.
If you are going to provide VOD services, you must add a service group for each
unique group of VOD QAM modulators. To provide low-demand (library) content,
identify this service group as a parent service group and then add child service
groups, which provide high-demand content, to the parent service group. If you do
not want to manage content by distinguishing between content types, simply add a
service group and do not identify it as a parent service group. (Standalone service
groups contain no child service groups nor do they belong to parent service groups.)
