Description
Parameters
Output Mode Select the DPM output mode for
the current output.
With the exception of
No Output
and
Full DPM Control
, selecting
a mode will configure the DPM
settings to achieve the specified
behavior. In this way, they act as
DPM presets.
The
Config Type
is changed from
Unmodified
to
Edited by User
.
It is highly recommended to use
either one of these basic modes,
or, for advanced setup, enter the
DPM mapping before setting the
Output Mode
.
No Output - No ASI output will be generated and
the ASI port will be disabled.
Passthrough - All PEs will be set to Pass and other
DPM settings will also be set.
Service Chans Only - This is similar to
Passthrough, except that only channels applied to
program entries are available on the output.
MAP Passthrough - The output will be identical to
the input, except that channels assigned to PEs
and PIDs will be mapped using the DPM settings.
If the input is tuned to a valid channel, the PEs are
automatically set to Map. Otherwise, the PEs are
automatically set to Drop. When selecting MAP
Passthrough, the option to re-sync will be
provided. If you select
Yes
, it will set the DPM
mapping to the last valid (or saved) configuration.
If you select
No
, it will use the existing DPM
maps. If the PE is mapped, it uses the last saved
output MAP configuration. The output map (for
example, output channel PMT) does not change
automatically if the input or channel number is
changed.
MAP Svc Chans Only - This is similar to MAP
Passthrough, except that only channels applied to
program entries are available on the output. If the
input is tuned to a valid channel, the PEs are
automatically set to Map. Otherwise, the PEs are
automatically set to Drop. When selecting MAP
Svc Chans Only, the option to re-sync will be
provided. If you select
Yes
, it will set the DPM
mapping to match the current input. If you select
No
, it will use the existing DPM maps. If the pE is
mapped, it uses the last valid input. The output
map (for example, output channel PMT) does not
change automatically if the input or channel
number is changed.
Full DPM Control - The output will be generated
according to the DPM settings. This is a manual
control setting.
Transcoding - The output will be generated using
the DPM MAP settings, except that the DPM
action (Act) will be set to Xcode and the
Descramble Mode will be set to Descrambled.
