4.10 Set up Single Program Clock Reference (Remultiplexed
Input)
4.10.1 Incoming Transport Stream
Unless the incoming transport stream has exactly the same 27 MHz reference as
the local Multiplexer, Single-PCR operation is only supported for Ericsson Encoder-
based services. When operating in this mode, the Encoders and Multiplexer/s must
be frequency locked to the same studio clock reference source.
4.10.2 Mixed PCR System
The PCR PIDs of the remote input can be remultiplexed (if it has a separate PCR)
or, if the input is a component, it will be removed with its embedded PCR. This is
termed a Mixed PCR system.
4.11 Clone a TS in the Clear
This configuration produces a cloned output in addition to the main scrambled
output. This could be used for local monitoring purposes.
The process has three steps:
1. Add an output device to the Physical Map
2. Configure the Multiplexer to produce the Clear stream
3. Connect the Multiplexer to the Output device.
Figure 4.5 Clone a TS in the Clear
An output is a data stream leaving the system. Each output needs to be defined and
labeled.
Note: See the nCompass Control User Guide for further information.
