4.3.4 Provisioning PSIP Tables
Program and System Information Protocol (PSIP) is used for transmitting service meta-data in
ATSC networks. Typically, PSIP applies only to North-American cable systems. This meta-data
relates to each channel in the broadcast MPEG transport stream of a TV station. It is also
used for publishing information about television programs so that viewers can select what to
watch by title and description.
NSG9000-6G supports the generation of the following PSIP tables:
• MGT - Master Guide Table. It defines the type, packet identifiers, and versions for all of the
other PSIP tables included in this TS except for the System Time Table (STT)
• CVCT - Cable Virtual Channel Table - assigns numbers to each virtual channel and
enables EITs to be associated with the channel.
The generated MGT and CVCT tables comply with the ATSC A-65-A specification. Both tables
are streamed over PID 0x1FFB. You can configure up to 20 entries for generating a PSIP
table for the QAM. Exceeding services routed to the QAM assumes the default values, as
explained in Service ID.
NOTE: PSIP tables are generated only once you have enabled PSIP generation in the QAM tab. See
Configuring/Viewing QAM Channels on page 49.
