Input Stream Parameters Table

Parameter	Description
Input Name	Specify the unique Input Name (an internal name) for the Receiver.
URL	Specify the URL of the Transport Stream.
Smoothing latency [ms]	The Smoothing feature uses a buffer to time packets according to the stream's clock. This is useful when there are bursts in the rate in which the stream arrives. The smoothing features creates a queue in the buffer, allowing smoother entry into the Receiver. The Smoothing parameter defines the size of the buffer in Milliseconds. A larger buffer will enable smoother entry, however may influence the latency rate.
