Preparing a spreadsheet with stream lineup information
The spreadsheet file must contain the following:
• information about the programs you wish to monitor, and the transport streams to
which they belong,
• information about the logical sources that will be added to the sources table for these
programs, including any static text levels you may wish to add.
The spreadsheet is organized as follows:
• Two heading rows. The first heading row divides the spreadsheet into four main areas:
• Programs. This area occupies the first column (A).
• Transport streams. This area spans columns B – G.
• Logical sources. This area spans columns H – J.
• Additional static text levels (optional). This area starts at column K, and can extend
to as many columns as you need. Text you enter on the second heading row in this
area will be imported.
• One row for every program you wish to monitor.
To prepare the spreadsheet file
1 Using your spreadsheet software, either open a copy of the sample spreadsheet file or
create a new spreadsheet.
2 Enter the information about a program, and the transport stream to which it belongs:
Notes
• Kaleido-IP X310 and Kaleido-IP X110 multiviewers support 6000 logical
sources.
• In the case of the Kaleido-IP X300, to support more than 1500 sources, the
multiviewer’s RAM must be upgraded to 24 GB. Refer to the “Kaleido-IP
X300 Memory Modules” section, in the Kaleido-X Release Notes, for
installation instructions.
• The Kaleido-IP X100 is limited to 1500 sources.
• RTSP, HTTP or HTTPS streams cannot be imported from a spreadsheet.
In this column... Enter this information...
A Program number The program number (MPEG ID), for the program you wish to
monitor.
B Stream name A name to identify the transport stream that includes this
program. Alternatively, you can leave this cell blank, in which
case a default name will be created. Stream names that only
contain digits and have decimal positions that are all zeros must be
preceded with an apostrophe in the spreadsheet.
C Multicast group
IP address The multicast group IP address. In the case of a unicast stream,
leave the cell blank.
D Port number The appropriate port number.
