Set Up the SDV Server 
Overview 
The SDV server provides the ―switching control element‖ for the SDV system. In 
essence, the switching control element is a process where the SDV server receives 
channel change requests for switched content from DHCTs. The SDV server then 
attaches the requested content to a session on the QAM, and assigns the session to 
real programs. These programs are transmitted to service groups and then delivered 
to the requesting DHCTs.

created.
