NSG 9000-6G allows to create the following types of sessions: • PID Range - to pass a specific range of PIDs from an input stream to the output while remapping the PIDs. To route a complete input MPTSs, route the maximum MPEG range 0x0 - 0x1FFE, which is the default option. • Service Remux - to route specific MPEG services (programs) using the Service Remux tab • PID Remux - to route individual PIDs using the PID Remux tab 4.3.1 Provisioning PID Range Sessions The PID Range option allows to break down the input stream into ranges and to multiplex them via various outputs while remapping the PIDs. To output a socket without any changes, that is without remapping and without generating tables, use the default PID range 0x0 - 0x1FFE. The following table lists the PID range specifications: Table 4-1: PID Range Specifications Feature Specification PID range per input session Up to 144 PID range per output Up to 15 Backup of Input source Up to 2 backup sources for each input source.

Chapter 4 Configuring Applications Broadcast Application NOTE: A session is defined as PID Range during QAM configuration. (See Configuring/Viewing QAM Channels on page 49). The following procedure guides you on how to define the PID Range session. 1. Select Applications > Broadcast > PID Range > Input. 2. Define the following parameters: Session ID- Read only. A sequential number to indicate the number of the session in the current page. Type - define whether the session is a Primary or Backup session. Enable Backup - see PID Range Socket Redundancy on page 83. Active - by default the primary input socket is the active one. Once you enable a backup socket, check this option to activate the required socket. To view the currently active socket, click . Multicast - select to enable multicast. If selected, the IP Address box is cleared. GbE Port - open the list and select the required input port. Once you define the required GbE port, the IP Address field is updated to display the IP address of the selected port. In IP Address, enter the IP address of the NSG input GbE port, or a multicast address. In UDP Port, enter the UDP port of the input GbE port. In Source IP, enter the IP address of the upstream device that streams the content to the defined GbE port and socket. In Source Name, enter the name of the upstream device that streams the content to the defined GbE port and socket. The name should be unique. 3. To define a PID range, in PID Range, click the . © 2012 Harmonic Inc. 81 NSG 9000-6G, Version 2.7, Rev B

Status - Can be one of the following:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Active - the QAM is operating properly<br />

Muted - the QAM is muted<br />

RF Disabled - the RF port is disabled<br />

No License - there is not license for this QAM license<br />

Module Out - no QAM-RF module is mounted in the slot<br />

4.3 Broadcast Application<br />

In Broadcast application mode, <strong>NSG</strong> <strong>9000</strong>-<strong>6G</strong> allows to manually route various content<br />

elements to any output QAM channel. <strong>NSG</strong> <strong>9000</strong>-<strong>6G</strong> allows to create the following types of<br />

sessions:<br />

• PID Range - to pass a specific range of PIDs from an input stream to the output while<br />

remapping the PIDs. To route a complete input MPTSs, route the maximum MPEG range<br />

0x0 - 0x1FFE, which is the default option.<br />

• Service Remux - to route specific MPEG services (programs) using the Service Remux tab<br />

• PID Remux - to route individual PIDs using the PID Remux tab<br />

4.3.1 Provisioning PID Range Sessions<br />

The PID Range option allows to break down the input stream into ranges and to multiplex<br />

them via various outputs while remapping the PIDs. To output a socket without any changes,<br />

that is without remapping and without generating tables, use the default PID range 0x0 -<br />

0x1FFE. The following table lists the PID range specifications:<br />

Table 4-1: PID Range Specifications<br />

Feature<br />

Specification<br />

PID range per input session Up to 144<br />

PID range per output Up to 15<br />

Backup of Input source<br />

Up to 2 backup sources for each input source. Each<br />

backup shares the same range configuration<br />

Defining a PID Range sessions, includes the following stages:<br />

• Defining PID ranges of the input stream<br />

• Associating the PID ranges with output QAMs<br />
