Parameter

Description

Name

The name of the PID Mapping profile.

Access Tags

The Access Tag/s that is associated with this profile.

Default Action

The default action that is applied to PIDs that are not included in a specific rule.

  • Pass – passes the PIDs through unchanged, with the existing PID numbers.
  • Set Null – sets the PID value as null. This is useful for maintaining the integrity of CBR streams.
  • Remove – removes the PIDs from the stream.

Type

The method used for specifying which PIDs the rules apply to. Options are:

  • PID - the number of the incoming PID.
  • Category – the general category of the PID (e.g. audio, video, SCTE-35 etc.). If the stream has multiple PIDs of the specified category, then the rule is applied to the first PID and all others are treated with the default process.
  • Type – the specific type codec (e.g. MPEG1 Video, AVCH/.264, HEVC etc.).
