EIT TS-over-IP Input

EIT TS-over-IP Input

Introduction

It is possible to fetch EIT events directly from a transport stream sent over IP network using UDP or RTP. A Dektec card with a network port is required for that: DTA-160, DTA-2160 or DTA-2162. This network card should be configured beforehand in the operating system and should be connected to the network.

This configuration help assumes that user has verified and configured that the incoming multicast is received by the Dektec card.

Settings

To define general settings for the IP Input Data source select menu "Server -> Settings -> EIT -> IP".

This configuration requires that the channel/service ID in Icareus PLayout matches the channel ID found from the incoming transport stream.



To define settings separately for each service right click on the service and select "Edit Service -> EIT source -> IP input Data Source":


The parameters are:

  • IP input card model - a Dektec card that supports TS-over-IP feature
  • Input card number (0-..) - if there are several similar cards installed, it is possible to define which exactly card to use
  • Input card port (1-..) - if there are several ports on the card, it is possible to define which port to use
  • Transport Stream ID - The ID of the incoming transport stream that should be used
  • Original Network ID - The ID of the incoming original network that should be used
  • Service ID - The ID of the incoming service from the transport stream to use
  • IP address - The multicast IP address that is used to deliver the incoming transport stream
  • Port (1-..) - The port number used for transport stream transmission
  • Update periodically - this flag defines if events should be fetched periodically
  • How often to update (seconds) - the period of the update measured in seconds
  • Update day - the day of a week to fetch events
  • Updae time - the time of a day to fetch events
  • Overwrite existing events - this flag defines if received events should overwrite existing events
