Transport Stream

Create an output transport stream (mux)

  1. Display services.
  2. Click Add service > Multiplexing.

Configure output transport stream elements

  1. Display services.
  2. Click to edit the service and display parameters. The transport stream parameters display.
  3. Select the transport stream, or an element in the stream, and use the action buttons to add, delete or organize items.

Parameters, properties and options vary depending on the selected transport stream item.

Configure a transport stream

Create an output Transport Stream to aggregate outputs from multiple Encoding Live encoder sources.

Before you start, ensure the multicast addresses of the Encoding Live output streams are known.

  1. Create a new Multiplexing service and configure the service settings.
  2. Configure the Transport Stream parameters:
    1. Open the Mux tab to configure bit rate and TS levels.
    2. Open the Output tab and select the output type:
      • IP output type: enter the IP stream address and destination UDP port
      • ASI output type: select the connector(s)
      • RIST output type: select the RIST mode (Caller or Listener) and connections details
    3. Open the PSI/SI tab and configure the PSI/SI generation and table repetition rates.
  3. Click add to add more Pass-through encoding services to the transport stream.

If the Input Program number is unknown then set to 0 to choose the first program referenced in the PAT of the incoming SPTS. 4. Save settings to return to the services page. 5. Assign a server and start the Output Transport stream.

Organize elements in the transport stream

  1. Display services.
  2. Click to edit the service and display parameters. The transport stream parameters display.
  3. Use the buttons to shift up or down, to add or delete, or filter items in the stream.

Delete an element from the transport stream

  1. Display services.
  2. Click to edit the service and display parameters. The transport stream parameters display.
  3. Click to delete the item.

Configure a service in the transport stream

  1. Display services.
  2. Click to edit the service and display parameters. The transport stream parameters display.
  3. Select the Service item in the transport stream, or select the transport stream and add a service to the output transport stream. The properties display.

Configuring a remux transport stream

Create a basic output TS from fixed source input SPTS or MPTS. This section will describe how to select incoming PIDs and remap them into a new output Transport stream.

  1. Create a new Multiplexing Service and configure the service settings.
  2. Configure Transport Stream parameters.
  3. Click add to add output services to the transport stream.
  4. Click Save and continue to scramble Service 1. The MediaKind ECM is present in the output transport stream.

Configuring a simulcrypt output transport stream

Specific configuration with an external EIS

If External EIS is being used:

  1. Click Services in the left-side menu panel.
  2. Edit the Multiplexing Service that you want to scramble.
  3. Select the Scrambling tab.
  4. Select Transport Stream under the Scrambling Groups panel.
  5. Click the Enable EIS check-box.

Configuring a simulcrypt output transport stream

Create a basic output TS from fixed source input SPTS or MPTS. This section will describe how to remux services and scramble them in the output transport stream.

  1. Create SCG 1.
  2. Edit the Multiplexing Service that you want to scramble. The service configuration options display.
  3. Select the Scrambling tab.

Configuring a fixed key output transport stream

  1. Create SCG 1.
  2. Edit the Multiplexing Service that you want to scramble. The service configuration options display.
  3. Select the Scrambling tab.

Configuring a BISS-CA output transport stream

  1. Create SCG 1.
  2. Edit the Multiplexing service that you want to scramble. The service configuration options display.
  3. Select the Scrambling tab.

Configuring a dynamic PID output transport stream (remapping PID for remuxing)

Create a basic output TS from fixed source input SPTS or MPTS. This example configuration describes how to select incoming PIDs and remap them into a new output Transport stream.

  1. Create a new Multiplexing Service: Services > Add service > Multiplexing. The service options display.
  2. Configure the required parameters in the Mux tab.
  3. Configure the output multicast details in the Output > Output tab. Multiple outputs for the same Transport Stream can be added using the +Add button.
  4. Configure Tables in the PSI/SI tab.
  5. Add a TOT descriptor to the output service.
  6. Click Add output and configure components for Service 1.
  7. Click Save and exit to apply changes.
  8. Assign a server to the service.
  9. Click to start the transport stream.

The Status column shows started.
