Operator Responsibilities
PID Remapping
1 When specifying the PAT PID to be remapped, the operator should ensure that
the PID comes only on one stream on that channel.
2 When remapping unreferenced PID / PMT PIDs, the operator should make sure
that the desired output value of the remapping is not an existing ES or PMT PID
of a stream on that channel. This will log output PID conflict in the System-
>Logs page.
3 When using the Block unreferenced PID option, the unreferenced PIDs of the
MPTS stream and data stream will be blocked. This might include NIT, SDT,
BAT, etc., on an MPTS stream so use this with caution. In case there is a pressing
need to use this option and the NIT, SDT, BAT needs to be inserted at the output,
specify this in the PID remap table with the same input and output PID values.
4 When remapping the PMT from the data stream, the operator should make sure
that the output PID value is not the same as any existing PMT on the channel.
Inserting External PAT
1 Operator should take care of input PID conflicts i.e. ES and PMT PIDs of each
stream should be unique within a given QAM channel. This is applicable for
SPTS and MPTS stream with the Insert external PAT enabled as the streams are
passed through when this option is enabled.
2 Operator should ensure that the unreferenced PID remapped should appear on
only one stream on a QAM channel at any given point of time. If the same PID
appears on two different channels, there will be CC errors at the output.
3 The Insert External PAT is supported only on the channels in the table based
video mode.
4 When specifying the PAT PID to be remapped, the operator should ensure that
that the PID appears only on one stream on that channel.
5 When remapping an unreferenced PID/PMT PID, the operator should make
sure that the desired output value of the remapping is not an existing ES or PMT
PID of a stream on that channel. This will cause an output PID conflict in the
System->Logs in the RFGW.
6 When remapping PMT from the data stream, the operator should make sure that
the output PID value is not the same as any existing PMT on the channel.
