Instruction Manual
In the section entitled “Multiplexed MPTS Output Configuration”, the user can select and configure the following parameters
of the output TS:
TS ID
: user must enter the identification number for the output TS. The range is 1 to 65535. The TS ID assigned must be
unique.
TS Bitrate
: user must select the bitrate for the TS. Possible options are:
•
QAM Controlled – Select this setting when using the QAM output of the encoder. The maximum bitrate will be
38.81 Mbps for QAM 256.
•
19.39 Mbps – Select this setting when the primary encoder output will be ASI for an ATSC application.
•
38.81 Mbps – Select this setting if an external QAM 256 modulator(s) will be used with the encoder’s ASI output(s).
•
38.81 Mbps – Custom - Select this setting when the primary encoder output will be IP or ASI. Permits a custom
bitrate entry. To use the Custom setting first select the 19.39 Mpbs setting and then "Save". Now select the
"Custom" setting, enter in the desired bitrate and "Save" again.
Modulation Mode:
user can select the modulation mode. Possible options are: Reserved, Analog, QAM64, QAM256, 8-VSB,
and 16-VSB.
Out of Band:
an out-of-band (OOB) is a channel that is a 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. The selections are either
Enable or Disable. When Enabled, the encoder 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 encoder.
In the section entitled
“Output Mapping”
, the user can select and configure the following parameters for each output TS
indicated by
“TS# - IP/QAM/ASI”
(see 2 of Section 5.6 for details), under 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).
Short Name:
user may enter a short name for the channel. Up to 7 alphanumeric characters are allowed.
Major Channel:
user may enter a major channel number for the output program. The range is 1 to 99 for Terrestrial and 1 to
999 for Cable.

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).
7
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.
