CTP

Cloud Transport Protocol (CTP) is a TAG-designed protocol for channel sources primarily used to feed content into and from the Cloud. It has six tabs with its respective configuration, as discussed below.

*From version 5.6 onwards SRT streams can also be configured in place of CTP.

Source

The Source GUI of CTP has the below fields.

*Fields*	*Description*
Display Name	A user-defined name for caption-display on the mosaic and system messages.
User Name/UUID	Unique username for the channel; used for SNMP traps and emails.
Access Type	Desired Type of channel source (CTP).
Enable Recording	Allows recording whenever an event is encountered.
Enable Descrambling	When checked, it enables descrambling.
Publish Point URL	Publish point URL string in CTP/Zixi. For example, if "zixi://testStreamurl.com/live/stream1" is a working Zixi stream, "zixi:// testStreamurl.com/live" refers to the publishing point URL.*
Stream ID	Specify the Stream ID.
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 of the Multicast source.
Latency	Add latency to the decoding of the source (in ms).
Scrambled	Checked if the stream is scrambled.
Service Type	Service type settings (SD/HD/Radio, etc.); used for system resource allocation. 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.
Tally Settings	Configure tally settings for a specific source.
Note	General notes about the channel. From version 5.7.0 onwards MCM9000 supports channels rotation at 90 or 270 degree, enabling potrait view. Please refer to Potrait view of a channel for detailed description. From version 6.0.6 onwards MCM9000 supports #SLIDE# option in the "Note" field for sources that has frame interval greater than 2 seconds.
