xCoder!–!User!Manual! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Aug!!18!,!2014!

That is, the first input should have Program Number 1, the second input should have Program 2, 
etc. 

!

 

Unicast IP input to the Mux : use IP address 0.0.0.0 

!

 

To configure the Mux to receive IP SPTS from the MPE  encoder/decoder, use the loop back IP 
address (127.0.0.1)  for the output of the MPE  encoder/decoder.   Then use unicast input 
address/port for the Mux input for that channel.
