HDE-8C DIN Series
Instruction Manual
Short Name:
user may enter the short name of the channel. Up to 7 alphanumeric characters are allowed.
Major Channel:
user may enter the major channel number for the output program. The range is 1 to 99 for Terrestrial
and 1 to 999 for Cable.
NOTE:
For CATV single part virtual channels, the “Virtual Channel Table” setting under the “Admin” tab must
be “CVCT”.
Minor Channel:
user may enter minor channel number for the output program. The range is 1 to 99 for Terrestrial and
0 to 999 for Cable. NOTE: when zero (0) is entered as a minor channel, it sets the encoder to provide a one part virtual
channel number as entered in the major channel field. For example, a major channel of “205” with a minor channel
of “0” will be displayed on a TV “205”. A major channel of “205” with a minor channel of “1” will be displayed on a TV
as “205-1”.
Save:
if duplicate values exist for PID, Program Number, Short Name or Major/Minor Channel Pair in a MPTS output
stream when the SAVE button is clicked, the following pop-up window would appear accordingly: “Error! Duplicate
Program Numbers found”.

Out of Band:
an out-of-band (OOB) is a channel which is the combination of the forward and reverse OOB channels.
When a cable virtual channel is flagged as being out-of-band, it is carried on the out-of-band channel. Options are:
“Enable” and “Disable”. When Enabled, assigns the OOB bit in the TS packet and labels the TS as out-of-band.
NOTE:
As per the ATSC and Cable standards, the Modulation Mode and Out-of-Band fields are required to be
assigned in the TS packet. Selecting the above two fields would allow the TS packets to be compliant with
industry standards, but would not affect the input or output configuration of the unit.
ASI Output:
this option is not available on the HDE-8C DIN Series encoders.
In the section entitled “
Output Mapping
”, the user can select and configure the following parameters for each output TS
indicated by “TS#”, under the gray header:
Input:
indicates the list of the programs selected by the user that are included in the TS. It includes the Input program
number, video source, and audio source.
PID:
indicates the PID value assigned to each stream. PID (Packet Identifier) values are embedded by the content
provider in the MPEG-2 stream to identify tables and programming packets.

Program Number:
user must enter a unique output program number for each program. PMT (Program Map Table)
provides information on each program present in the transport stream such as program number, and the list of the
elementary streams (audio, video or data). The range is 1 to 65535.
The Program Number must be unique in a MPTS output stream. If a duplicate Program Number exists, assign a different
number in the range of 1 to 65535.
The PID value must be unique in a MPTS output stream. If a duplicate PID exists, assign a different PID in the range of 48
to 8176 (recommended range provided by the International Standards)
Please ensure the duplicate values are edited and click on SAVE button AGAIN to apply the new values/configurations.
Make sure that the major-minor channel pair is unique for each program on the MPTS output.
