The IEvalRat interface is used to evaluate content ratings carried by a broadcast stream. This interface is exposed by the EvalRat (ratings evaluator) object. The EvalRat object is implemented by third parties.
The Encrypter/Tagger filter and the Decrypter/Detagger filter use this interface. Applications use the interfaces exposed by those filters, but typically do not use the IEvalRat interface.
