“General Information”: this tab includes the basic parameters of the streaming service, as name, IP addressing and
streaming mode:
- “Service Name”: mandatory field that means the name of the streaming service.
- “IP Target”: mandatory field that indicates the target IP address. This address can be configured as multicast
or unicast. In case of multicast address, this will be in the range 224.0.0.0 – 239.255.255.255. We
recommend see the documents RFC 3171 and 2365 for a proper multicast address choice. In this case, the
traffic generated from the device for this service is multicast and would be received by all clients joined to
this multicast group. See IGMP protocol.
In case of unicast address, the traffic generated from device will reach only the given address.
- “IP version”: at this moment, the device only supports version 4. In a future, it will also support version 6.
- “Port Target”: mandatory field that means the target port related to the streaming service. This value can be in
the range 1026 – 65535 and has to be multiple of 2.
- “Port Source”: mandatory field that means the source port related to the streaming service. This value can be
in the range 1026 – 65535 and has to be multiple of 2.
- “Service Type”: optional field where we can introduce a short description of the streaming service.
- “Provider”: optional field where we can introduce the provider name of the streaming service.
- “Streaming Mode”: mandatory field that indicates the content type and protocol used in the service streaming:
SPTS-UDP, SPTS-RTP and IP-Multiprotocol (MPE) for devices in SPTS mode, and MPTS-UDP, MPTS-RTP
for devices in MPTS mode.
The information in “PIDs Information” and “Descriptors Information” are only applied for devices in SPTS mode:
“PIDs Information”: mandatory field that enumerates the list of PIDs to be filtered and streamed out. We can only use the
PIDs previously found to fill in this field. For DVB-S, DVB-T and DVB-C devices, these PIDs are associated to frequencies,
these are associated to networks and finally these are to satellites for DVB-S, subzones and zones for DVB-T and cable
operators for DVB-C. We notice that the list of PIDs only can be made up by PIDs belonging to an unique frequency, and
it is not possible more than a video PID. The list of available PIDs can show either VIDEO/AUDIO PIDs or all PIDs that are
found in the PMT of all services in the selected transponder. In case that all PIDs are shown, using the “Ghost Component
Manager” button, we can add PIDs not present in the PMTs in order to select them.
