Program Identification
This section allows configuration of the program specific settings of the MPEG-
2 transport stream. The PID values may often be left at their default values. The
‘Program Number’ must be set appropriately. The remaining parameters may or may
not need to be set as it is application specific.
6.10.1 Program Number: [1-65535]
This is the MPEG-2 Program Number that identifies a program from others within a
multiplex and is used to allow selection and decoding at the receiving device. It is a
unique number that is assigned to each program within a multiplex and may require
setting according to the system channel map. The decoding device may display this
program number for program selection.
6.10.2 Virtual Major Channel:
FYI:
For virtual Major/Minor channels to be detected and acted upon by an appropriate end user
device, it is required to enable the ‘PSIP’ feature on the MUX tab. See
to enable this feature.
FYI:
This parameter is only detected or used by end user devices that support PSIP tables.
For a program in a QAM channel, this is the major channel which is often also the EIA channel.
6.10.3 Virtual Minor Channel:
FYI:
For virtual Major/Minor channels to be detected and acted upon by an appropriate end user
device, it is required to enable the ‘PSIP’ feature on the MUX tab. See
to enable this feature.
FYI:
This parameter is only detected or used by end user devices that support PSIP tables.
For a program in a QAM channel, this is the program number within the previously defined Major channel. This is the program
number within the multiplex.
6.10.4 Source ID:
A source ID may be assigned here if the DigiVu application required it. This is not mandatory.
6.10.5 Program Name: [Max. 12 Chars]
FYI:
For Program Name to be detected and acted upon by an appropriate end user device, it is
required to enable the DVB-SI feature on the MUX tab. See
“7.4 DVB® SI Settings” on page 7-2
to enable this feature.
The name (up to 12 characters) assigned to a program may be entered here. To enable, it is required to select the DVB-SI
option in MUX page. This name may or may not be supported in the end customer decoding device.
6.10.6 Video PID: [21-8190]
The video PID (Packet Identifier) is a decimal number that uniquely identifies a video transport stream in an MPEG-2 transport
stream so that it can be filtered and routed appropriately. This value often does not need to be changed from it’s default value
as it is automatically reported in the PMT table.
