Fail Ingest Settings
PSI Errors When program specific information (PSI) errors setting is enabled and the CDS
software cannot find the PAT and PMT, the ingest fails. The default for PSI
Errors is Disabled.
Bit Rate Errors If Bit Rate Errors is enabled, and the CDS cannot determine the bit rate, cannot
find the Program Clock Reference (PCR), or determine the PCR PID; the ingest
fails.
If the CDS software cannot determine the bit rate it tries the bit rate of 3.75
Mbps, which may be correct and allows the ingest to continue.
This parameter is not applicable when using the nABLE backoffice.
The default setting is Disabled.
Error Count Method If Error Count Method is enabled, the errors are counted every n minutes,
where n is specified in the Number of Minutes field. The error count applies to
the following thresholds:
• Discontinuity Rate
• Number of Picture Gaps
• Picture Gap Duration
• Continuity Counter Errors
• Number of Sync Loss Errors
• Sync Loss Duration.
If a threshold is reached, the ingest fails. The default setting is Disabled.
Number of Minutes Number of Minutes applies to the Error Count Method. The default setting
is 30. If a threshold is reached within the specified minutes, the ingest fails.
Discontinuity Rate Discontinuity Rate threshold sets the number of discontinuities that constitutes
a failure. Discontinuities may appear if content is spliced together before ingest,
also many discontinuities appear near the beginning of a sample; therefore, the
default setting is Ignore.
Number of Picture
Gaps
Picture gap is when two pictures appear more than one second apart in a
transport stream. The Number of Picture Gaps threshold sets the number of
picture gaps that constitutes a failure. The default is 3.
Picture Gap
Duration
Picture Gap Duration allows you to specify the maximum time that defines a
picture gap. A picture gap occurs whenever two pictures are more than one
second apart. Even if they are 15 minutes apart, it is still only counted as one
picture gap.
If a picture gap exceeds the Picture Gap Duration, the ingest fails. The default
is 5 seconds.
