Video A Input Selects the video input for Program A

At this point, you should be able to view the QMOD channels on a test TV. Note that setting Video B input to
None
will automatically put the encoder in to single-channel mode, and revert to 2-channel mode when inputs
are selected for Program A and B.
A QMOD Channel, or any QAM Channel, can include two video streams, called Programs. It’s really one stream
that contains both videos. The TV figures out which to play using the channel ID, typically something like
channel IDs 2.1 and 2.2, 3.1 and 3.2 and so on. For marketing purposes we use the popular term “2-Channel”
the general public understands, for integrators we use the more correct term “2 Programs”.
