If the source type is encrypted, select the encryption type from the dropdown list. For more details, please refer to KMS Types.

**From 5.6.0 onwards CPIX KMS type is supported. 

**From 5.6.4 onwards BISS-2, SynMedia, and Axinom KMS types are supported.

IP Address

The IP address of the source.

Source Specific Multicast

Set IGMPv3 for SSM. Leave empty for ASM.

Port

Source port number.

Network

The NIC used to intercept the source.

Encryption Constant Key

The constant key to be used with BISS encryption.

Transport Stream ID

Specify the Transport Stream ID.

Program Number

Service ID, as defined in the PAT table.

Service Type

Service type settings (SD/HD/Radio, etc.); used for system resource allocation.

*Please note that altering this affects the resources used by the system and the quality of the monitoring.

Service type refers to the number of hardware resources that should be allocated for monitoring the channel.

Service type is usually measured by SD point (0.5,1,5,10,20...) depending upon the required hardware allocation which is usually detected during the scan.

Secondary Source Specific Multicast (2022-7)

2022-7 secondary source multicast address.

Secondary Port (2022-7)

2022-7 secondary port address.

Secondary Network (2022-7)

2022-7 secondary network interface.

Tally Settings

Configure tally settings for the source.

Note

Transport Stream Bitrate

When enabled, specify the Transport Stream Bitrate (in Mbps). When disabled, the bitrate is ignored.

Standard Type

Select the desired standard. Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) or Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC).

Audio Loudness

Select the desired audio loudness measurement standard. EBU R 128 or ATSC A/85 (no gating).

Latitude

Latitude value.

User Information

Service information, other user fields, etc.

Hide Overscan

By default, overscan lines are hidden from the mosaic. Uncheck the checkbox for the full-frame display.

Ability to decode 2038. You can choose from the options, Merge, Prefer ST-2038, Ignore ST-2038.

** Available from version 6.0.2 onwards.

Unconfigured PIDs Behaviour

Select the system response on detection of a PID which is not defined in the static channel configuration on the PMT:

• Monitor Undefined: The device will monitor all PIDs on the PMT without producing an "extra PID" message.
• Ignore Undefined: The device will ignore the existence of extra PIDs.
• Raise Error: An "extra PID" channel event error will be sent.

Monitoring Level

Select the Monitoring level (Full, Light, Extra Light).

Full Monitoring: One full license and the full amount of SD points will be consumed by the system, and full monitoring will be done.

Light Monitoring: One full license and a third of the SD points will be consumed, and the monitoring level will be for a third of the time.

Extra Light Monitoring: One full license and a fifth of the SD points will be consumed, and the monitoring level will be for a fifth of the time.

Profile Automation Mode

Automatically chooses the profile from Scheduler or PMT Auto-Matching when the toggle switch is enabled.

*Only one mode can be enabled at a time, or both are disabled.

Snooze Timeout on Profile Change

Set time slot after profile change (in seconds), where errors related to the change are ignored.

Profile Name

Identification name for cross-system notifications; if the activated profile is not the default one, the profile's name will be displayed next to the channel's name on the mosaic.

Default

Set the profile as default. Only one profile can be set to default; setting a profile as default overrides previous settings.

Thresholds Set

Channel monitoring thresholds set. To reconfigure, please refer to Thresholds.

Notifications Set

Channel monitoring notifications set. To reconfigure, please refer to Notifications.

Service Bitrate

The total service bitrate of all PIDs, including the PMT itself.

Use the toggle switch to specify minimum and maximum values allowed or choose Auto for automatic selection. The values set are used for the service bitrate detection rules.

Pixelization Block Size

Select the pixelization masking level from the dropdown (mostly used to mask adult content over the mosaic channel).

Title Color

Select the font color of the channel box title in the mosaic.

Border Color

Select the border color of the channel box in the mosaic. Change of border color due to error notification will override this setting.

RST Running State

The RST allows accurate and rapid updating of the timing status of one or more events; this may be necessary when an event starts early or late due to scheduling changes. Select the desired RST Running State from the dropdown.
