MPEG_TS

MPEG-TS can be either Single Program Transport Stream (SPTS) or Multi-Program Transport Stream (MPTS).

The fields below and some pre-defined configurations (for scanned sources) are available if you scan or manually add a MPEG-TS source.

There are three screens Common, Receivers, and Profiles, as shown below.

If you make any changes, click on the save icon for changes to apply.

Common

Fields	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.
Finger Printing	Relevant for content matching. When enabled an unique finger print is created to compare channels. **Available from version 1.1 onwards.
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.
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.
