PSIG Support
I.1 Program Specific Information Generator (PSIG)
The PSIG interface is a ETSI defined spec that enables PSI/SI to be inserted in the
output transport streams of the MX8400. It is defined in ETSI TS 103 197 in
Section 9.
The main function of the (P)SIG is to provide MUXes of the head-end with the
appropriate PSI/SI tables for their respective transport streams. Additionally, private
sections may possibly come with the PSI/SI tables so as to be broadcast with the
same PID(s).
The (P)SIG may have to deal with more than one MUX and so may have to
generate specific tables for more than one transport stream. Nonetheless, each
MUX gets its PSI/SI from only one unique (P)SIG.
I.2 Why do I Need PSIG?
If you don't want to use nCompass Control (nCC) to generate PSI/SI or additional SI
is to be added from an external source. It can work with nCC and other external
PSI/SI sources that are using the Ericsson RCP interface simultaneously.
I.3 Static Parameters
I.3.1 Using PSIG
The MX8400 implements the PSIG interface as defined in ETSI TS 103 197.
There are currently no deviations from the spec. The MX8400 allows 32 PSIG
connections on the Control IP port. These are defined in Static Parameters using the
nCC physical map.
