User Manual
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. Possible 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 EQAM-420B.
