Double Input Buffer
Double input buffering allows for a more intelligent EPG update algorithm. In addition, it also enables the system
to flag warnings if the input is corrupt.
The following parameters are available:
Input Data Completion
Timeout
If the EPG for a particular service is not complete within this timeout, then
the system will play the already received data.
The default value is 60 seconds.
Inter Table Update Timeout
The EPG data is transmitted in different tables, according to the time which
the data describes. For example: EPG for day one is transmitted in a
different table_id compared to EPG for day six. This parameter specifies the
duration the system should wait between table_ids before it starts to
regenerate the content.
If the parameter’s value is low, it is likely that the system will regenerate
several times during the transfer of EPG covering many days.
The default value is 300 seconds.
EPG Sync Peer Units
In a system with many units, e.g. in a QAM network, there may be a few units belonging to the same
network. In this system, the outgoing EPG should signal all the services.
To synchronize your units, go to
EPG
→
Setup
and list the IP address for each remote EPG module (
not
IP
address for the MMI) under
EPG Sync Peer Units
.
Figure 11.6 - EPG Sync Peer Units
The EPG module’s IP address can be configured under the
Admin
node.
Currently the system only supports synchronization of up to
five
remote EPG modules.
