IATSC_VCT Interface

This topic applies to Update Rollup 2 for Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 and later.

The IATSC_VCT interface enables the client to get data from a virtual channel table (VCT). The IAtscPsipParser::GetVCT method returns a pointer to this interface.

A record as defined by this interface corresponds to a virtual channel in the VCT. For example, the GetCountOfRecords method returns the number of virtual channels defined in the VCT.

The VCT may contain one or more table-wide descriptors. In addition, each record in the VCT may have one or more descriptors. To get the table-wide descriptors, use the GetTableDescriptorByIndex method or the GetTableDescriptorByTag method. To get the record descriptors, use the GetRecordDescriptorByIndex method or the GetRecordDescriptorByTag method.

Returns the carrier frequency for a channel in this VCT.

GetRecordCountOfDescriptors

Returns the number of descriptors for a record in the VCT.

GetRecordDescriptorByIndex

Returns a descriptor for a specified record in the VCT.

GetRecordDescriptorByTag

Searches a record in the VCT for a descriptor with a specified descriptor tag.

GetRecordEtmLocation

Returns the extended text message (ETM) location for a record in the EIT.

GetRecordIsAccessControlledBitSet

Queries whether the access_controlled bit is set for a particular record in the VCT.
