GQAM IP Multicast Input 
SR 4.2, in conjunction with GQAM modulators loaded with GQAM software version 
3.x (or later), provides support for GQAM IP multicast input. This feature allows 
system operators to use GQAM modulators to join an IP multicast service or source 
to obtain and broadcast content to digital set-tops in different formats (simulcast). 
Basically, this feature allows different GQAMs to use the same IP content source. 
 
What Optional Features Are Carried Forward in SR 4.2? 
EAS Filtering 
As a leading provider of cable services to your community, you want to ensure that 
your subscribers accurately receive emergency messages intended for their 
community. Emergency Alert System (EAS) filtering is an optional feature that, 
through its integration with the DNCS, uses the Federal Information Processing 
Standards (FIPS) to filter and send EAS messages only to targeted states, counties, or 
subdivisions. This feature enables you to serve your customers and your community 
in a timely and efficient manner.
