IP Input configurations
The headend system includes basic IPTV functionality which enables
service delivery over a packet-switched network infrastructure. To
handle IP input through the Link sockets the following requirements
must be satisfied:
IP multicast streaming (UDP streaming)
Possibility of RTP
IGMP version 2
SPTS or MPTS including PAT, PMT, CAT
Important:
The TDX headend system supports up to 7 TS packets per IP
packet at IP inputs.
The TDX headend system does not support IP fragmentation at
IP inputs, which may occur if the IP packets are transmitted over
a network with a Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) less than
approximately 80 + N*188 bytes, where N is the number of
packets per IP packet..
Recommended settings are 7 TS packets per IP packet and a
minimum MTU of 1500 bytes in the entire network path.
Note:
Licenses for IP input are required to be able to use the IPTV
functionality in the headend. The licenses can be purchased from Triax
Sales, and need to be activated
, see “Activating licenses”.
