A playlist.m3u file that describes all of the multicast outputs can be downloaded by
clicking on the playlist icon. For IPTV networks, session announcement protocol
(SAP
RFC 2974
) is supported and included in the stream when enabled.
Modulated RF Output
The modulator hardware is automatically detected and a list of available modulators is shown on the
Output page of the WebUI. All modulators are expected to transmit over the same cable network, as
such it is not necessary to identify how a modulator maps to a particular F connector.
To edit an RF output click on the associated
config icon. Select the Channel from the list. It’s best to
be sure that the channel selected is not in use. If the
Channel/Frequency you wish to use is not on the list, you
may need to change the channel map. Select the Modulator,
the modulation standard, and the modulation type. The
power level should remain at 1 for most cabled
environments. If a value greater than 1 is required,
attenuators may be necessary for TVs that are receiving high
power signals. Attenuators or amplifiers should be used to
achieve optimal power within the cable distribution
network. Use this field post install to make minor power
level adjustments if required.
Program Mapping
Program Mapping
is the heart of the multiplexor.
Clicking on the
icon for a specific output will switch the Outputs page to a program mapping view
for that output. Mapping an input to an output can be done at the program level, or at the PID level. If
you are not intimately familiar with transport stream anatomy, stick with the program level and use the
default setting whenever they are provided.
Once in the Program Mapping view, all of the available multiplexor sources are listed on the left, each
with a mapping
icon to the right. Click on the mapping icon
and edit the mapping
appropriately for each program you would like included in this output. Programs included in the
