Description

Label

A user-defined name for caption-display on the mosaic and system messages.

Device

MCM9000 device the source is being monitored on.

Access Type

Type of channel source (MPEG-TS).

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.

Recording

When enabled, allows recording when there is an alarm.

Monitoring Level

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

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

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

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

Tags

Specifying Tags enables filtering the sources based on tags. (E.g. Tag1)

Note

General free text notes about the channel.

Content

Audio Loudness Monitoring

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

Hide Overscan

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

Transport Stream ID

Specify the Transport Stream ID.

Transport Stream Bitrate

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

Transport RTP/UDP Mode

The source's transport mode can be altered between RTP or UDP.

ST-2038 Working Mode

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

PAT Programs Count

Program count, as defined in the PAT table.

TS Standard

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

SDT Name

Service Description Table (SDT) name. Leaving this field empty will disable the test.

SDT Provider Name

SDT provider name; leaving this field empty will disable the test.

NIT Carrier ID Information

Encoder Manufacturer

Name of the Encoder Manufacturer.

Encoder Serial

Miscellaneous

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.

Tally Mapping

Configure tally settings for the source.

Snooze on Profile Change

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

Unconfigured Component

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.

Adhoc Activation Group

Enabling Adhoc activation groups allow automatic monitoring/unmonitoring of source. To configure, please refer to Adhoc Monitoring Workflow (Resource Grouping).

Scheduling , Group

Enabling scheduling groups, allows profile change in specific time zones. To configure, please refer to How to configure the scheduler on MCS.
