CDI

Content Distribution Internetworking (CDI) is supported only on cloud instances (AWS) along with EFA enabled. It has six tabs with its respective configuration, as discussed below.

Please note CDI is available from version 5.6.0 onwards.

Source

The Source GUI of CDI 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 (CDI).
Port	Port number.
Stream ID	Specify the Stream ID.
Network	The NIC used to intercept the source.
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.

Content

The Content functionality of CDI is the same as HLS. Please refer to Content to configure.

Miscellaneous

The Miscellaneous functionality of CDI has the below fields.

*Fields*	*Description*
Hide Overscan	By default, overscan lines are hidden from the mosaic. Uncheck the checkbox for the full-frame display.
Snooze Timeout on Profile Change	Set time slot after profile change (in seconds), where errors related to the change are ignored.

Description

Profiles

The Profiles functionality of CDI is the same as SPTS except for RST Running State. Please refer to Profiles to configure.

PIDs\Components

The PIDs\Components GUI of CDI doesn't have PID but Components.

The Components of CTP are also the same as SPTS, excluding PID, PID out of PMT, Scrambled, and PCR on PID.

There are three additional component types besides PIDs Components and Component Types seen in SPTS.

CDI/Video

*Fields*	*Description*
Transport Monitored	When checked, TS level is included despite PID being monitored or not.
Content Monitored	Whether the component's content is monitored or not. When unchecked, all content-related rules will be disabled for the PID (e.g., audio silence, freeze frame, PES drop, etc.).
Bitrate	Desired bitrate for the PID (either single CBR value or dual VBR value). Use the toggle switch to specify the minimum, and maximum values allowed or choose 'I' to ignore selection.
Type	PID payload type. Based on the selection, additional configurable fields will be displayed.
Codec Type	Select the Codec type from the dropdown for video streaming. For non-constant content, select Don't care.
Resolution	Specify the video resolution. Format : [width]x[height][i/p]. For example, 720x576i, 1280x720p. Leaving this field empty will disable related error notifications.
Color Space	Select the color space for the video content from the dropdown.
Frame Rate	Specify the video frame rate (frames per second). Leaving this field empty will disable related error notifications.
Aspect Ratio	Select the aspect ratio for the video content from the dropdown. For non-constant content, select Don't care.

*Selecting the Don't care option for any of the following fields will disable related error notifications.

CDI/Audio

*Fields*	*Description*
Transport Monitored	When checked, TS level is included despite PID being monitored or not.
Content Monitored	Whether the component's content is monitored or not. When unchecked, all content-related rules will be disabled for the PID (e.g., audio silence, freeze frame, PES drop, etc.).
Bitrate	Desired bitrate for the PID (either single CBR value or dual VBR value). Use the toggle switch to specify the minimum, and maximum values allowed or choose 'I' to ignore selection.
Type	PID payload type. Based on the selection, additional configurable fields will be displayed.
Bit per sample	Select 16, 20, or 24 bit. For a non-constant bit, select Don't care (aspect ratio-related error notifications will be disabled).
Mapping	Specifies the ability to map channels between audio flows.
Port	Specify the port ID.
Stream ID	Specify the Transport Stream ID.
Sample Frequency	Select the sampling frequency of the Audio from the dropdown list. (48Khz, 96Khz, or 44.1Khz)

CDI/Metadata

*Fields*	*Description*
Transport Monitored	When checked, TS level is included despite PID being monitored or not.
Content Monitored	Whether the component's content is monitored or not. When unchecked, all content-related rules will be disabled for the PID (e.g., audio silence, freeze frame, PES drop, etc.).
Bitrate	Desired bitrate for the PID (either single CBR value or dual VBR value). Use the toggle switch to specify the minimum, and maximum values allowed or choose 'I' to ignore selection.
Type	PID payload type. Based on the selection, additional configurable fields will be displayed.
Closed Captions	Select the closed caption type from the dropdown. Choose Hide if you don't want to show the CC.
Port	Specify the port ID.
Stream ID	Specify the Transport Stream ID.

Scheduler (UTC)

The Scheduler functionality of CDI is the same as SPTS. Please refer to Scheduler to configure.
