Figure 4-15. CMR-8500 Web Interface PSI Tab
The CMR-8500 provides support for the MPEG-2 PSI. PSI provides the Program Association Table
(PAT) and Program Map Table (PMT).
The PAT resides on PID 0x0000 and the CMR-8500 allows the user to define the following PID for the
PMT:
• The PMT announces the PID assigned to each valid route for up to 1,000 routes.
• The stream type for a PID assigned to a route will be announced as “DSM-CC” (stream type 0x08).
• In the PAT, each program number will be assigned the corresponding route number.
The PSI Configuration Tab has the following configurable parameters:
•
Enable: The “Enable” PSI Boolean allows the user to enable or disable the PSI information. Most
multiplexers will require the PSI information to be present to identify the input programs.
•
Rate: The rate in tenths of a second the PSI tables (PAT/PMT) will be transmitted to the network. For
example, 4 is a rate of 250ms.
•
PMT PID Base: The first PID number that will be used to announce the available programs to the
network.
•
Transport Stream ID: The transport stream ID provides the identification of this TS from any other
multiplex in the network.
