Selenio MDX Installation, Operation, and Specifications
Chapter 1
Selenio MDX Installation, Operation,
and Specifications
Overview
The Selenio MDX1 and MDX2 multiplexer and demultiplexer modules encapsulate streams for transport,
or multiplex, de-multiplex, and re-multiplex transport streams. Incoming programs can be readily repurposed into new programs, local content added to existing programs, and new transport streams can
be generated quickly.
The Selenio frame provides internal connectivity in which content can be routed from a variety of
sources, including MPEG-2 and H.264 encoder modules, various internal network interfaces such as
DVB-ASI, and from incoming Gigabit Ethernet transport streams.
External connections can include up to eight software-selectable independent inputs or outputs that can
handle either DVB-ASI or the SMPTE 310M protocols.
The MDX1 and MDX2 are capable of accepting un-encrypted programs from a variety of sources from
local encoders to network interfaces, including ASI or Gigabit Ethernet. They include a Simulcrypt
synchronizer for conditional access information from a CA system over a dedicated Ethernet connection.
Each program is encrypted using DVB common scrambling, and ECMs are multiplexed into each stream
to provide a DVB-compliant output.
When not using encryption, the multiplexers support up to an 800 Mb/s throughput (the maximum
amount of receive and transmit transport stream aggregate ingest traffic) or up to 4,096 PIDs (16 X 256).
The encryption engine supports 90 simultaneous programs at a combined rate of up to 200 Mb/s
aggregate.
The MDX2 has an enhanced feature set that provides DVB-T2 gateway functionality.

Installing MDX Modules
Note: Selenio frames are designed for demanding broadcast networking applications in which a
maximum of four (4) MDX modules are required. To ensure optimum performance, do not install more
than four MDX modules in each frame.
You can insert a Selenio module into a frame with the power supply turned on or off. Follow this
procedure:
1. Remove a blank back module from the frame, saving the blank back modules and their captive
screws for future configurations.
2. Attach the new back module to the empty slot, using the mounting screws provided.
Align the back module’s pin into the guide hole, and ensure that the EMI gaskets separating the back
modules remain in place during the installation. The EMI gaskets fit tightly. To ease the installation
of back modules, gradually press each back module into place from the left side to the right side.
Figure 9: Installing Back Modules
3. Apply labels to the back module, if these are supplied separately.
Edition F | Page 19
SELENIO
Chapter 1
4. Print out this page and write down the placement of the back modules in the diagram below (back
modules appear on the reverse side when viewed from the front).
Figure 10: Writing Space for Identifying Back Module
CAUTION
Do not mix and match back and front modules. The front
module must mate with a back module of the same product.
1. Open the front panel, and then slide the correct front modules into the slots that match the back
modules.
2. Push the module until it seats properly, ensuring the edge of the module is flush with the edge of
the module guides, and the square extractor handle clicks into its slot.
3. Install the remaining back and front modules, make all of the necessary rear connections, and then
close the front panel.
CAUTION
To prevent overheating during frame operation, keep the front
panel closed and all back module slots covered.
Removing Selenio Modules
See Front Module (on page 20) and Back Module (on page 21).
Front Module
To remove a front module from a Selenio frame, follow this procedure:
1. Open the front panel.
2. Grasp the extractor handle on the module, pulling down slightly.
Edition F | Page 20
SELENIO
Chapter 1
3. Using the handle, slide the module out of its slot.
Figure 11: Removing a Front Module
4. Close the front panel to ensure proper frame ventilation.
Back Module
To remove a back module from a Selenio frame, you must first remove the front module. Then unscrew
the back module, and pull it straight out. Cover the opening with a blank back module to ensure proper
frame ventilation.
Powering Up a Module
When an MDX is first powered up, the module takes several moments before it is operational. When the
module appears in the Selenio UI, it is fully functional. The power consumption for an MDX module is 40
W max.
Edition F | Page 21
SELENIO
Chapter 1
Upgrading Module Firmware
All module firmware upgrades are activated in the frame controller section of the Selenio user interface.
Follow this path to find the appropriate parameters: Configuration > Frame Controller > Configuration
tab > Upgrade Firmware.
See the Selenio frame manual for information on how to upgrade module firmware. In the unlikely
event of an upgrade failure for the MDX, see the Upgrade Failure Instructions below.
Upgrade Failure Instructions
The MDX includes one user-configurable DIP switch array (SW1), located at the card edge next to the
extractor. In normal operation, all four switches are in the Off position. In the unlikely event of
corrupted software, you may need to temporarily change the setting of Switch 1 for the failsafe mode
override. You would be alerted to this problem if a System Recovery Upgrade Required fault was
triggered after an upgrade, and the module had finished rebooting.
If a System Recovery Upgrade Required fault is triggered, you should first try using the alternate
firmware (see Activating Alternate Firmware in the frame manual) and then attempt the upgrade again.
If this second attempt fails, follow these steps to activate the failsafe mode:
1. Remove the MDX module from the frame and then push DIP Switch 1 to the On position (furthest
from the card edge).
Figure 12: DIP Switch Setting for Failsafe Mode
2. Reinsert the module.
3. Install the new module software using the Selenio user interface.
Edition F | Page 22
SELENIO
Chapter 1
4. Remove the module, and then return Switch 1 to the Off position.
5. Reinsert the module.
The module is now running the new software.
Accessing MIBs
MIB files for all modules can be downloaded directly from any Selenio frame. MIBs are generated on a
per-device basis. For example, if there are seven SEL-MDX2 modules in a frame, only one of the seven 7
MIBs is required, assuming all of the modules are using the same version of software. If the frame
includes multiple modules of the same type, but different software versions, the module with the latest
version should be used to generate the MIB.
If an older MIB is used with newer firmware (for example, an older version of firmware was used instead
of the latest firmware), the new parameters added to the new version will not be available on the MIB,
and thus, will not be accessible via the MIB.
Before downloading module MIBs, you must first download the InfrastructureNetwork.mib file. Copy
the following into a browser to access the InfrastructureNetwork.mib:
http://<IP address>/InfrastructureNetwork.mib
<IP address> is that of the primary controller in the frame
Once any MIB file is downloaded from the frame, you should rename it immediately to prevent
overwriting.
To download a specific module MIB file, copy this line into a browser:
http://<IP address>/mib/slot<slot#>/snmp.mib
<IP address> is that of the primary controller in the frame
<slot#> is the slot in the frame, as seen from the front
Examples:
http://137.237.173.15/mib/slot0/snmp.mib
Accesses the controller MIB from frame 137.237.173.15.
http://137.237.173.15/mib/slot7/snmp.mib
Accesses the MIB for slot 7 from 137.237.173.15

Chapter 1
Service and Module Fault Alarm Priority
Sets alarm priority on a range from 1-10, or None.
If this parameter is not none and any enabled alarm with a priority equal to or greater (higher value
than) the setting is currently active then any interface fault that is mapped to be triggered by that alarm
triggers a fault. This will cause the controller to map in a redundant connection if available.
If the alarm is disabled, the trigger time has not elapsed or the priority is below the configured setting,
then the interface is not marked as faulted.
If Service Fault is set, alarms that could affect an output interface will fault that interface. If a faulted
interface has a backup cross-connect configured, then the system controller will switch to the backup
source.
If Module Fault is set, if any alarm is above the priority and a backup module is configured, then the
system controller wil move operation over to the redundant module.
Function Map Block
Type
The MDX module has eight function engines, each of which can be set to Mux, Dmx (demultiplexer),
Copy, or Off.
When the type of the nth function is set to Mux, the corresponding nth ASI/SMPTE 310M external
connector will be configured as an output.
When the type of the nth function is set to Dmx, the corresponding nth ASI/SMPTE 310M external
connector will be available as an input. (SMPTE 310M is only supported on the SEL-MDX2.)
If the type is set to Off, the corresponding function block and external connector are disabled.
The type can be set to Copy on even numbered functions blocks where the preceding function block
type is set to Mux. In this case, the corresponding even numbered external connector will deliver a copy
of the output of the preceding odd numbered Mux function block output.
Demux (Demultiplexer) PID Map Block
The PID map makes it possible to split multiple program streams into a maximum of 240 programs. Each
program is remapped according to the PID Table shown in the UI.
PIDS: ECM, PCR, PMT, Video, Audio, and Data
The default PIDs used for each demultiplexed single program transport stream are (as shown in the
table 14, 2, 0, 1, 3-10, etc with no base plus offset). These default values can be overridden by providing
values other than the -1 in this list.
Edition F | Page 25
SELENIO
Chapter 1
-1 is the default value, which cannot occur in an MPEG stream. Virtual channels configured for
automatic PID assignment can use -1 to indicate the absence of specific PID assignment. The values of 0
to 15 are reserved to carry the program association table (PAT) and other standard tables. If the VC is
configured for manual PID assignment and this parameter is set to a value between -1 and 15 while the
VC is active, the module triggers a Configuration Error fault.
16 to 8090 is the range of possible PID values; a value of 8191 indicates that this VC carries only null
packets. This parameter's upper limit, 8190, excludes the null PID.
Default PIDs are based on offsets from a base PID of 48. They are:






ECM: base + 14 (62)
PCR: base + 2 (50)
PMT: base + 0 (48)
Video: base + 1 (49)
8 Audios: base + 3 to base + 10 (51 - 58)
2 Data: base + 11 and base + 12 (59, 60)
IP LANs Block
This section configures the logical Primary Data Ethernet local area network (LAN) interfaces. When the
Selenio frame has two controllers, a redundant Secondary data Ethernet connection is available.The
secondary controller acts redundantly, and thus, at any given time, there are 16 virtual interfaces in the
VLAN ID.
General
Selenio supports traffic on virtual local area networks (VLANs) segregated by tagging each Ethernet
packet with a virtual network ID (in an 802.1Q header). Parameters include:
Primary and Secondary Data IP LANs
The Primary Data IP LAN is associated with the primary controller and its IP submodule (if installed).
Similarly, the Secondary Data IP LAN is associated with the secondary controller and its IP submodule (if
installed). Secondary Data IP LAN settings provide redundancy for the Primary settings (controller video
IP submodules are required). The configuration for the secondary (virtual) interfaces is similar to that for
the primary interfaces. All LANs must be on different subnets.
When making settings in the IP LAN table, ensure that you click the Apply button to save your settings.
In a frame with a second controller (with the data Ethernet switch daughter card) the MDX module can
receive and transmit on redundant primary and secondary IP data links.
Parameters for configuring the Primary and Secondary Data IP LANs are displayed in a table format so
you can easily see the relationships between the related connections. The Table parameters are as
follows:
Edition F | Page 26
SELENIO
Chapter 1
VLAN ID—On each physical link, IP interfaces can be configured for untagged network traffic (VLAN ID is
set to 0) and tagged virtual LAN network traffic (VLAN ID is set from 1 to 255). Only one interface can
remain untagged; all others must be assigned a unique number. The MDX module supports logical
interfaces on up to 16 different primary virtual networks.
Note: Although MDX modules are capable of VLAN ID values of up to 4094, the frame’s controller may
have a limit of 255. Check to confirm the limitation on your controller. To use the Data IP LANs, the
frame’s controller module must have a Video IP submodule installed.
Configure the interface VLAN ID to match the ID on the virtual network on which data is to be received
or transmitted. Set the VLAN ID to 0 to configure an interface for sending or receiving untagged Ethernet
traffic that is not on a virtual network. If VLANs are not being used, configure LAN 1 to use VLAN ID 0
and IP address, subnet and gateway for the interface.
Certain VLAN ID values are reserved and the range is restricted in some Controller releases. VLAN ID
Reserved Values:





0 – Untagged Ethernet traffic.
1 –Traffic received with VLAN ID 1 will have the tag removed by the controller switch. The modules
will receive the data on the untagged LAN (VLAN ID 0).
2-255 — Sent to all modules with the VLAN tag as received.
256 – 4094:
• Blocked from all modules (controller firmware 1.x, 2.x)
• Sent only to modules with interfaces configured on those VLANs. The VLAN tag is sent to the
modules as it was received (controller firmware 3.x and above).
4095 – Invalid.
IP Address – This provides the IP source address for data leaving the module and the IP destination
address for data being sent to the module.
The IP address should be unique on the VLAN associated with this interface. The primary and secondary
interface IP addresses should be unique and on separate subnets.
IP Subnet Mask – This defines the subnet to which the IP address belongs. Any two IP addresses are on
the same subnet if they yield the same value when a bitwise AND is performed between the address and
the subnet mask.
IP Gateway – If the module is to transmit data to an IP address that is on this interface’s LAN or VLAN
but not on the same subnet as the IP Address of this interface, then the traffic will need to be directed
through a layer 3 router. Set the IP Gateway to the IP address of the router. It must be on the interface’s
subnet.
If all the traffic on the interface is within the interface subnet, then a router is not needed and the IP
Gateway can be configured to 0.0.0.0.
Apply – When all of the interface parameters have been configured, click on the Apply button to have
the values take effect.
Edition F | Page 27
SELENIO
Chapter 1
Time to Live
Set the time-to-live (TTL) value for IP packets carrying an MPEG transport stream on the selected VLAN.
Each time a packet passes through a node, this number decreases. When the TTL value decreases to
zero (without reaching the desired destination), the packet is discarded. This avoids packets being
continuously passed around in a loop due to a misconfiguration of the network. The Time to Live range
is 1 to 255 hops.
Receive Data Eth Protection
When both Primary and Secondary data IP interfaces are available, the module can be configured to
automatically select between them. The Receive Data Eth Protection parameter provides a switchover
function, making it possible for you to choose Primary, Secondary, or Automatic switchover protection.
When set to Automatic, if a channel is configured with both Primary and Secondary addresses on either
the Primary or the Alternate source, that channel will automatically switch from the Primary to the
Secondary source address on failure.
When set to Primary or Secondary, automatic failover will be disabled and the corresponding interface
will be selected.
Primary and Secondary Data Eth MAC
This read-only parameter indicates the factory-set MAC ID.
Primary and Secondary Data Eth Tx Overflow
This read-only parameter shows the number of seconds during which there was a transmit buffer
overflow on the primary data ethernet interface.
Primary and Secondary Data Eth Rx Overflow
This read-only parameter shows the number of seconds during which there was a receive buffer
overflow on the primary data ethernet interface.

Assigned indicates the index of the most recent channel that was allocated to this multiplexer. A specific
index can also be created by entering it here.
Standard
The SEL-MDX1 and SEL-MDX2 multiplex the following output standards when the Output Enable control
is turned on:


Chapter 1
ASI-204-ACBR, CBR, and VBR
ASI-ISDB-Tb and ASI-ISDB-Tb-SFN (both need ISDB license key. SFN has its own license key)
ASI-DVB-T and DVB-T-SFN (both need DVB license key. SFN needs its own license key)
SMPTE 310M
ASI-188-T2MI
ASI-ATSC
The ASI-188-ACBR and ASI-204-ACBR have matched input and output rates, and when either is selected,
the module must be in Passthrough mode (ACBR is used for the receive side when transmitting an ASI
signal from one Selenio to another over an IP network without multiplexing or demultiplexing).
The ASI-188-CBR and ASI-204-CBR-standards use Asynchronous Serial Interface (ASI) with a constant bit
rate. The downstream receiver must be explicitly configured to use either 188-byte, or 204-byte packets,
as per this setting. The module reads packets out of its buffer at a constant rate and inserts null
transport stream packets to bring the Output Rate of the multiplexer up to the required value.
ISDB-Tb (Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting Terrestrial Brazil) uses 13 OFDM segments to transmit
up to three types of services in a hierarchical fashion. ASI-ISDB-Tb-SFN adds Single Frequency Network:
a series of transmitters that send the same signal synchronized to a GPS clock.
ASI-188-VBR and ASI-204-VBR use an Asynchronous Serial Interface (ASI) with a variable bit rate. The
downstream receiver must be explicitly configured to use either 188-byte, or 204-byte packets, as per
this setting. The module reads packets out of its buffer at the highest variable rate possible (therefore
variable) without exceeding the configured Output Rate. No null packets are inserted, so the resulting
stream may not consume the entire configured rate.
When SMPTE 310M is selected, the module reads packets out of its buffer at a constant rate and inserts
null transport stream packets or opportunistic data to bring the output rate of the multiplex up to the
SMPTE 310M rate (19.392658 Mbps with 188-byte packets).
ASI-188-T2MI uses an Asynchronous Serial Interface (ASI) with a packet designed specifically for
distributing DVB-T2 data, with an output rate to 19.392658 Mbps. The downstream receiver must be
able to support a DVB-T2 Modulator Inteface (MI) formatted stream.
ASI-ATSC uses an Asynchronous Serial Interface (ASI) with a constant bit rate. The module reads packets
out of its buffer at a constant rate and inserts null transport stream packets to bring the output rate of
the multiplex up to 19.392658 Mbps with 188-byte packets.
Passthrough
This parameter enables the bypassing of the port’s multiplexer.
When Enable is selected, the interface transmits one multi-program transport stream as input and
makes that stream available on one VC, which may then serve as a cross- connection source. The Disable
option multiplexes one or more single program transport streams into one output stream. Each program
may be directed from its own VC and each such VC may serve as a cross connection destination.
If more than one VC is configured to operate on this interface, only the first VC is used, and a
configuration alarm is raised. To clear the alarm, delete all but one VC and then Enable this control.

Output Rate
This parameter sets the output bit rate of the transport stream The range is 0 to 214 Mb/s, but this is
limited by the standard selected.






0 to 213.72 is the range available when the Standard parameter is set to either ASI-188-CBR or ASI188-VBR. (When using the Standard setting, every 8-bit byte occupies 10 bits on the physical
medium. Additionally, packets are separated by 2 padding bytes.
Using this format, the carrier rate (or raw bandwidth) for a given transport stream rate is the
following:
carrier_rate = ts_rate * (10/8) * (190/188)
213.7263158 = 270 * (8/10) * (188/190)
0 to 197.12 is the range of rates when the Standard is set to either ASI-204-CBR or ASI-204-VBR.
Every 8-bit byte occupies 10 bits on the physical medium. Additionally, packets are separated by 2
padding bytes. Finally, the rate is computed for 188-byte packets, even though 204 bytes of data are
present.
Using this format, the carrier rate (or raw bandwidth) for a given transport stream rate is the
following:
carrier_rate = ts_rate * (10/8) * (206/204) * (204/188)
197.1262136 = 270 * (8/10) * (204/206) * (188/204)
0 to 19.39 is the range of rates when the Standard is set to SMPTE 310M.
ASI-ISDB-Tb uses 204 byte packets and has a fixed rate of: 32507936 bps. If the interface is set to
SMPTE 310 (typically only used for ATSC), the output rate is fixed at 19.3926.
ASI-188-T2MI has a rate that matches what is calculated after the number of FEC blocks per frame is
set on the PLP parameters page.
Setting the output standard to ASI-DVB-T-SFN has a fixed output rate dependent on the settings
under DVB-T.
SI Mode
Use this field to specify the system information table paradigm.

MPEG (default setting) processes and preserves generic MPEG control tables, but discards MPEG
application-specific tables.
DVB processes and preserves Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) control tables. This setting forwards
the SDT on PID 17 through the demultiplexer. Release 3.0 supports remuxing of the NIT, SDT and
EIT. It will also output a TDT (time and date table).
ATSC supports remuxing of Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) tables defined in the
Program and Service Information Protocol (PSIP) standard. Supported tables are the MGT, VCT, RRT,
EIT, ETT and STT.
ISDB-T Release 3.0 supports remuxing of the NIT, SDT and EIT. It will also send a TOT (time offset
table) and BIT (broadcaster information table).
None discards all incoming SI/PSI tables. Use this SI mode when a streamer or data carousel is
providing the PAT and PMT.
Transport Stream ID
This parameter sets the transport stream ID transmitted in the system information tables.
Edition F | Page 34
SELENIO
Chapter 1
Base PID
Base PID applies to Program 1 on this interface. When the PID Map operates in Auto, this base value
helps compute the first PID for a channel's program. Other PID mapping conventions ignore this base
PID value.
Common PCR PID
Sets the common PCR PID value. The default of -1 indicates the common PCR PID will be set to a default
value of 5120 (1400 HEX). A non-zero number can be used for the PCR PID.
When using common PCR, the following conditions need to be met:



All encoders feeding the multiplexer that are configured for common PCR must be either fed video
locked to common reference, or they must frame-sync their input to a common reference, which
must be selected for use by the frame containing the multiplexer
Each stream must contain PCRs on a separate PID.
The PES headers must not be encrypted.
Carousel Rate
This parameter sets the data carousel bitrate for the interface (from 0 to 16,000,000 bps). If the
interface's carousel has streaming enabled, this bitrate governs the maximum transport stream
bandwidth that will be used by carousel data. The quantity, and rate of other carousels on this interface
may limit the maximum rate per carousel.
Carousel Stream
Data carousel streaming is enabled or disabled by this setting. Enable turns on carousel handling. If a
valid carousel file is present, and its activation time has arrived, the file's data will be multiplexed into
the interface's transport stream. Disable turns off carousel streaming. Any existing carousel files are
ignored, and the interface does not check for new carousel files, nor is carousel data multiplexed into
the transport stream.
Carousel Stream Source and Carousel PSIG Port
You can define the source as either File or PSIG, and then use the Carousel PSIG Port parameter to
determine where the Program Specific Information Generator (PSIG) data comes from.
When Carousel Stream Source is set to File, carousel files can be uploaded to the system controller and
placed in the /fileshare directory. There is a specific filename format: mdx1_slotXX_ifcYY.csl, where XX
is 01 -14, YY is 01 - 08. The MDX module will automatically mount this directory to its filesystem and
download carousel files with matching slot numbers. Note: if the /fileshare directory cannot be
mounted an alarm is raised.
Carousel PSIG Max Streams
This parameter defines the maximum number of PSIGs that the carousel will handle.
Edition F | Page 35
SELENIO
Chapter 1
Carousel Output
This parameter is only visible when Standard is set to ISDB-Tb or ISDB-Tb-SFN. It controls whether
carousel output is remuxed back into the Mux input or played normally out the Mux port. It can be set
to Normal (default) or Remux.
When using Data Carousel for EPG data in ISDB mode, this parameter must be set to Remux.
Carousel files can be loaded onto the controller's file system for the SEL-MDX module to acquire.
Carousel Update
Click Update to refresh the carousel stream.
PID Map
Use this control to specify whether PIDs in programs on this interface should be mapped automatically
or manually.
In the Auto setting, the module uses its own Base PID and the VC's program number to determine a
Base PID value for the program. It then assigns a group of 16 PIDs to the program as described in the
table below. The Base PID is assigned to program number 1.

* This example assumes base PID is 48.
In Manual mode, each VC specifies its own PID values, using the configuration values in the VC's
program group. MPEG defines a packet identifier as a 13-bit number, reserving 0 through 15 and 8191
(0x1FFF). The ATSC standard further reserves PIDs below 48. Moreover, the ATSC program guide (PSIP)
Edition F | Page 36
SELENIO
Chapter 1
tables conventionally use PIDs at 7680 (0x1E00) and above. The automatically assigned values avoid
these ranges, and uses values from 32 to 7167 (0x1BFF).
Note: In Manual mode, all PIDs for the interface must be unique. If a VC tries to use a PID that has
already been assigned on the same interface, the VC will declare a Transmit Channel Configuration
Error fault.
IP Destinations
These parameters configure the destinations to which the IP data is transmitted.
Transmit Interface Select
Two options are available: Active Controller and Both. The Active Controller option transmits the
output stream to the primary destination when the primary system controller is active (and only to the
secondary destination when the secondary system controller is active). In the Active Controller setting,
the primary and secondary destinations can be the same. When you select Both, the output stream is
transmitted to both the primary and the secondary destinations.
When redundant data IP interfaces are being used, an IP channel can be configured to transmit on both
the Primary and Secondary Data Ethernet interface (“Both”) or only on the interface corresponding to
the currently active controller (“Active Controller”). In either case, both Primary and Secondary
destination parameters should be configured.
Primary VLAN ID
The Primary VLAN ID should be set to the virtual network ID of the VLAN to which the Primary Data IP
stream should be transmitted. Set the value to zero to transmit untagged Ethernet traffic. The value
must correspond to the VLAN ID of a configured Primary interface.
Secondary VLAN ID
The Secondary VLAN ID should be set to the virtual network ID of the VLAN to which the Secondary Data
IP stream should be New Channel and New Channel Assignedtransmitted. Set the value to zero to
transmit untagged Ethernet traffic. The value must correspond to the VLAN ID of a configured Secondary
interface.
Primary and Secondary IP Addresses and Ports
Depending on whether your traffic is Unicast or Multicast, you will make different settings.
Unicast traffic is sent to a single primary or secondary IP destination address. The settings are described
in IP Destination Settings for Unicast Destinations (on page 40). Multicast traffic is sent to a group of IP
destinations designated by the IP group address, as described in IP Destination Settings for Multicast IP
Destinations (on page 40).
Note: There are some restrictions on UDP port numbers:
- The port number must be non-zero
- When FEC is being used, port numbers should be assigned on multiples of 8.
- Column FEC packets are sent on the configured port + 2
- Row FEC packets are sent on the configured port + 4

IP Destination Settings for Multicast IP Destinations (on page 40)
Multi-Channel IP output is supported on both external IP multi-cast or uni-cast to a single address plus
multiple CXN cross-connects to itself and other modules. It is possible to transmit on a multi-cast
address and receive that multi-cast stream on the same MUX. It is also possible to transmit out a CXN
cross connected to the same mux and to another module at the same time. Outputs can transmit on
both a multi- or uni-cast IP address and a CXN at the same time. This is for the input of the MUX
channels, output of the MUX, input to a DEMUX or output channels of a DEMUX.



A Multiplex transmit interface's IP address fields can be set to non-zero values for multi- or unicast
IP transmission and also cross-connected to an internal destination.
Two Demux output channels with the same program number can each have independent
Destination Type settings.
If a MUX channel is configured with a cross-connect source or a multi-cast IP source that originates
from the DEMUX, the channel operates normally.
FEC
IP traffic from Selenio modules can be encapsulated in UDP or RTP and protected with SMPTE 2022
forward error correction. Options are:




None-UDP – no FEC, send the traffic as transport stream packets on UDP.
None-RTP – no FEC, send the traffic as transport stream packets on RTP over UDP. The RTP header
contains sequence numbers that allow for some error detection but no correction.
Low, Med, High – Send the stream with low, medium or high levels of forward error correction.
Increasing levels of protection allow more errors to be corrected but require more overhead.
Custom – Allow the customization of the FEC level using the Order and Period parameters.
These options determine the mode of forward error correction (FEC) for the selected IP virtual channel.
This value applies to IP channels transmitting MPEG transport stream data, generating RTP parity
packets according to RFC 2733. This value should be set to None-UDP or None-RTP for MPEG receivers
and virtual channels configured for other channel functions.
To enhance error recovery, parity packets can be computed on a repeating, conceptual grid overlaid on
the data packets. This grid has period columns (L) and order rows (D), as described by Pro-MPEG Code of
Practice #3, January 2003.
With forward error correction enabled, the correction packets are sent to and received from a different
port from the transport stream packets. The channel's transmit rate includes only the transport stream
data; error correction overhead (and IP overhead) must be separately computed to determine the entire
bandwidth for the video-on-IP stream.
In the MPEG data stream, each IP packet carries up to 7 transport stream packets (as set in the TS
Packets Per IP parameter), possibly wrapped in additional protocols. Each FEC parity packet carries error
correction data for those transport stream packets. That FEC payload rides in an ethernet frame with a
Edition F | Page 38
SELENIO
Chapter 1
14-byte header, carrying an IP packet with a 20-byte IP header, an 8-byte UDP header, a 12-byte RTP
header, and a 16-byte FEC header.
None-UDP and None-RTP disable forward error correction for this virtual channel. The Low setting is
equivalent to generating 1 parity packet for every 16 data packets. Medium is equivalent to generating 5
parity packets for every 40 data packets, and High is equivalent to generating 20 parity packets for every
80 data packets.
FEC Order, Period, and Row
The FEC Order for this virtual channel corresponds to the depth of the conceptual grid used for forward
error correction. Values are from 4 to 20. The FEC Period of 1 to 20 corresponds to the width of the
conceptual grid used for forward error correction. Row FEC can also be enabled, to be used in addition
to Column FEC.


FEC Order (rows) – this sets the custom number of rows in the FEC grid. The lower the setting, the
more frequently column FEC packets are sent and the higher the protection.
FEC Period (columns) – this sets the custom number of columns in the FEC grid. If row FEC is
enabled, the lower the setting, the more frequently row FEC packets are sent and the higher the
protection.
Note: the product of the order and period should not exceed 100.

FEC Row – This parameter is used to enable or disable the transmission of row FEC packets.
TS Packets Per IP
Multiple transport stream packets can be packed into one IP packet / Ethernet Frame. This sets the
number of MPEG-2 transport stream packets packed into each IP packet. Setting this to a high value
increases the efficiency with which the data is sent. However, there may be some increase in the jitter
introduced into the transport stream arrival by using high settings.
The value in this field (1 to 7) sets the number of transport stream packets per IP packet. Typically, this
value is set to its maximum, 7.
Type of Service
This determines the value sent in the Type of Service byte in the IP header of the Data Ethernet packets.
The handling of the Type of Service byte in the IP header is dependent on the network equipment. Some
routers support differentiated services prioritization specified by the DSCP field (RFC 2474). This can be
configured by setting the most significant six bits in the Type of Service value.
The Type Of Service octet in the IP header has vendor-specific meaning. It describes how the datagram
should be used (delay, precedence, reliability, minimum cost, throughput, and so on). For information
about the Type of Service settings, see the documentation of the equipment with which you are
interfacing. In the SEL-MDX1 and SEL-MDX2, the Type of Service range is expressed as a decimal (a
range of 0 to 255). A binary-to-decimal conversion will be necessary to select the correct number.
In normal use, the Type of Service byte is typically set to 0. However, with the rise of Internet
multimedia transmission, and the importance of standards such as Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), use
of the Type Of Service byte is becoming more common.
For further information about the standard, see RFC 1349, RFC 791, and more recently, RFC 2474.

This item reveals the following parameters:
Network ID and Original Network ID
These 16-bit values identify the network delivery system when the system information mode is set for
DVB. Other SI modes ignore this value. See the DVB A038 and ETSI ETR-162 specification documents for
details.
When running a mux channel’s SI source in static DVB mode, you must set these two parameters. If the
mux channel is being received from an encoder, the original network ID on the MDX should match the
encoder’s network ID.
Delivery System Descriptor
This field can contains a series of colon separated two digit hex numbers that make up the Delivery
System Descriptor.
EMM Base PID
This setting (from -1, to 32–8190) is used with Conditional Access. The default value of -1 assigns the
EMM Base PID to 8144. The actual range of possible EMM Base PID values is 32-8191.
Network Name
Name-defining information that is transmitted with the service.

Edition F | Page 46
SELENIO
Chapter 1
Add New Channel and Delete Channel
These parameters respectively add or delete a channel's association with its current multiplexer
function.
Function
Use this parameter to set the payload type and processing for this virtual channel.



Program specifies the channel will carry a program to be multiplexed into the transport stream of
the referenced port.
Using the PID option, a single PID’s packets are inserted into the transport stream. The packets will
be remapped to the channel’s PID parameter and inserted into the selected port's multiplex.
The following principles apply to the PID option:
• When a PID is configured for individual insertion, its packets must not be routed through any
other channel on the interface.
• No other channel should reference the PID for insertion from the multiplex, either explicitly or
implicitly; otherwise, a Transmit Channel Configuration Error fault is triggered.
This function supports "unusual" applications and might require application engineering support to
configure correctly. The channel carrying this single PID may be connected like a normal multiplexer
channel. Some destinations, such as decoders, are unlikely to process it successfully, but the system
does not prevent the connections. The most useful destination is likely to be a multiplexer channel,
whose function is set to insert a specific PID into a multiplex.
When a value of 0 is set in the Program Number field, the PID is not added to the PAT or any PMT. A
non-zero value forces the system to search for another channel on the same interface that carries a
matching program (its function should be {program}, and the program number should match this
channel's value). This channel's PID is then added as a program element to the identified program,
including the associated PMT entry. The channel's configured stream type is used in the element's
PMT entry. If no matching program channel exists, the channel asserts an alarm configuration error
fault.
Conditional Access re-multiplexes Entitlement Management Message (EMM) streams and
Conditional Access tables.

Revertive—When the current active input fails another alternate input will be selected if available.
Non-revertive—If the Primary input fails, one attempt will be made to select an alternate input.
Once on an Alternate no attempt will be made to switch back. The Restore Button must be used to
return input to Primary.





On-Primary
On-Primary-Alt
On-Secondary
On-Secondary-Alt
Switching Delay (sec)
This is the amount of time the input will wait before switching to a backup transport stream input,
measured in seconds. The range is 0.1 - 5.0.
Program Number and Input Program
This sets the program number associated with this channel. When multiplexing several programs to
form a multi-program transport stream, this sets the program number that will be associated in the PAT
with the data from this channel. The data from multiple channels with the same program number will be
merged. If the program number is 0, the data from this channel will be added without a PAT entry. Up to
90 programs can be multiplexed together with conditional access. If Stat-Mux is enabled, the maximum
number of programs is reduced to 64.
If a multi program transport stream is present, Input Program is used to select which program from the
PAT to use. This parameter defaults to 0, which means use the first program.
Common PCR
Options are Disable (default) and Enable. When this parameter is enabled,the output program is
synchronized to a common PCR. The output PMT will point to the common PCR PID.
Edition F | Page 48
SELENIO
Chapter 1
Policing Rate
The value in the Policing Rate field sets the policing behavior for this virtual channel. A virtual channel
with PID or Program values will discard packets that cause the stream to exceed this rate. When 0 is
entered in the field, data is allowed up to the maximum rate permitted by the interface. With a setting
of 1 to 214, data is policed at the rate specified.
Priority
This setting specifies the relative priority for this channel. Options are Normal and Low.
Inserted PID
When the channel's Function is set to PID, this parameter specifies which packets to insert into the
interface's transport stream. Other VC functions ignore this setting.


The default value of -1 cannot occur in a transport stream. If the channel is configured for single-PID
processing, this gives a "safe" default value that cannot match any packets (and thus avoids
duplicating a PID in an active program). Additionally, channels configured for other functions use -1
to indicate the absence of specific PID insertion.
Channel packets containing the data PID are remapped to the given packet identifier before
transferring them to the interface. The default data PID is 59 unless specified in the Demux PID Map.
Because a single inserted PID would normally carry data, the input data PID is remapped to the
configured PID value and those packets are inserted into the multiplex. For symmetry, a
demultiplexer channel that extracts a single PID also maps those packets to the data PID specified in
the Demux PID Map.
CAUTION
Do not insert a value of "0". This value causes the SEL-MDX
module to insert packets on the transport stream’s program
allocation table (PAT) and will interfere with program
processing.
Stream Type and Descriptors
The value in the Stream Type field (0 to 255) specifies the stream type for this channel's program
element. The Descriptor text is a string of colon (:) separated two digit hexadecimal characters used to
represent MPEG descriptors that are to be inserted directly into the PMT.
SI Source
This parameter has the following source options:
Input-Stream—The Service Information tables are taken from the input stream.
Static—The channel’s Service Information tables are statically generated. Any SI tables that appear in
the input stream are dropped.
Edition F | Page 49
SELENIO
Chapter 1
Rebrand—A few parameters in the channel’s Service Information are selectively modified in a multiprogram transport stream. If the SI/PSI parameters for the channel are left blank or Not Set is selected,
the values from the input stream are reused. Otherwise the parameter is replaced with the value in the
GUI.
Program Status
Assign To Channel
This control sets the input program field, effectively choosing the program for input.
Assigned Input Program

IP Source and Alternate IP Source
The IP Source and Alternate IP Source parameter lists define the same settings for the primary and
alternate sources.
The following values can be set in the IP Source parameters to configure the sources from which IP data
is received:


Primary VLAN ID – The Primary VLAN ID should be set to the VLAN ID of the virtual network from
which data should be received. Set the value to zero to receive untagged Ethernet traffic. The value
of the VLAN ID must correspond to the VLAN ID of a configured Primary LAN interface.
Secondary VLAN ID – The Secondary VLAN ID should be set to the VLAN ID of the virtual network
from which data should be received. Set the value to zero to receive untagged Ethernet traffic. The
value must correspond to the VLAN ID of a configured Secondary LAN interface.
Unicast traffic is directed to the IP address of a specific IP interface. For Unicast, make the following
settings:






Primary IP Group – This address should be set to "0.0.0.0". The data is being sent to the IP address
of the Primary interface corresponding to the VLAN ID of this destination.
Primary IP Port – The UDP port number to which the Primary Data IP stream was sent.
Primary Mcast Src 1, 2 – Unused for unicast sources.
Secondary IP Group – This address should be set to "0.0.0.0". The data is being sent to the IP
address of the Secondary interface corresponding to the VLAN ID of this destination.
Secondary IP Port – The UDP port number to which the Secondary Data IP stream was sent.
Secondary Mcast Src 1, 2 – Unused for unicast sources.
Edition F | Page 54
SELENIO
Chapter 1
Multicast traffic is received by subscribing to an IP multicast group address. For Multicast, make the
following selections:






Primary IP Group – This address should be set to the multicast IP group address to which the data is
being sent. The module will send out an IGMP multicast join message and respond to IGMP queries
to inform upstream network equipment that it wants to receive data sent to this group. Network
equipment that responds to these messages should only forward the subscribed multicast traffic to
the frame. (Some equipment may forward all multicast traffic.)
Primary IP Port – The UDP port number to which the Primary Data IP stream was sent.
Primary Mcast Src 1, 2 – Set one or both of these values if the channel should only receive primary
interfaces IP data from specific multicast source IP addresses. The module will send the source IP
addresses in the IGMP join message and query response messages. This informs upstream network
equipment that it should only send the multicast traffic to the frame if it comes from one of these
source IP addresses.
Set both values to "0.0.0.0" to receive traffic from any source sending data to the configured group
and port.
Secondary IP Group – This address should be set to the multicast IP group address to which the data
is being sent.
Secondary IP Port – The UDP port number to which the Secondary Data IP stream was sent.
Secondary Mcast Src 1, 2 – Set these values if the channel should only receive secondary data from
specific multicast source IP addresses. Set the values to "0.0.0.0" to receive traffic from any source
sending data to the configured group and port.
IP CBR Jitter Buffer Delay
The parameter is configurable from 10 to 240ms with the default set to 240ms. You will normally set the
delay to at least twice the expected jitter on the input.
Conditional Access
Encryption Mode
This parameter selects the type of encryption. With encryption operating, a program can be scrambled
and passed over an insecure medium to an authorized decoder, which can unscramble the stream.
If None is selected, the encryption process is disabled, so the multiplexer provides unscrambled output.
When BISS is selected, encryption is enabled. This option directs the multiplexer to use its BISS SW
(session word) to scramble the output MPEG stream. A decoder will need the session word in order to
decrypt the stream. For details, see EBU Technical Specification Tech 3292 (rev. 2, August 2002), BISS-E,
Basic Interoperable Scrambling System with Encrypted Keys.
When Simulcrypt is selected, user defined access criteria are available for each ECMG for each SCG.
When Fixed Key is selected, encryption is enabled. This option directs the multiplexer to use the fixed
key to scramble the output MPEG stream. A decoder will need the fixed key in order to decrypt the
stream. No conditional access table or descriptors are present in the stream in this mode.
Edition F | Page 55
SELENIO
Chapter 1
Note: When enabling/disabling scrambling, the MPEG TS packet flow is momentarily interrupted as
the packets are steered into the Scrambling block (when it is enabled) or bypassed around the
Scrambling block (when it is disabled). This may cause a momentary disruption at the output port.
When scrambling is enabled, the limit in the packet rate is reduced to 214 Mbps. All packets flow
through this block, even packets that are not scrambled. So, when the Scrambling block is enabled the
1200 Mbps throughput is reduced to 214 Mbps. The 214 Mbps limit is for all 8 ports. Any combination
of channels and rates can feed the scrambler, and any combination of enabled and disabled
scrambling on the packet streams can feed the scrambler, but the total maximum throughput is 214
Mbps.
SCG Index
This parameter sets the index of the Simulcrypt Scrambling Control Group associated with the channel.
BISS SW
This parameter appears when BISS is selected under Encryption Mode.
Use this parameter to set the BISS session word for this program. The multiplexer channel allows its
session word to be written and read (unlike the decoder, which protects its session word from being
read). A session word behaves like a "normal" configuration value and may be stored internally as a
profile. Loading a stored preset or configuration file can alter session words for the system's
multiplexers. Additionally, a session word follows the active service during module failover and failback.
A session word is a 12-character, hexadecimal string, such as 0a3b5c7d9e1f (upper-case and lower-case
letters allowed). This hexadecimal string does not require an 0x prefix.
When None is selected, all scrambling is disabled on this channel. This value may be the empty string.
Fixed Key
This parameter appears when Fixed-Key is selected under Encryption Mode.
Use this parameter to set the fixed key for this program. A fixed key behaves like a "normal"
configuration value and may be stored internally as a profile. Loading a stored preset or configuration
file can alter fixed keys for the system's multiplexers.
A Fixed key is a 12- character, hexadecimal string, such as 0a3b5c7d9e1f (upper-case and lower-case
letters allowed). This hexadecimal string does not require an 0x prefix.

ATSC
Major and Minor Channel Number
This number represents the "major" channel number associated with the virtual channel. The major
channel number needs to be between 1 to 99. The minor channel number needs to be 0 for analog
television, and 1 to 99 for ATSC digital television.
The major/minor pair needs to be unique for each virtual channel in the multiplex. These two fields
perform as a two part channel number, where the minor channel field forms the second or right side of
the number.
When running a mux channel’s SI source in static ATSC mode you must set the major and minor
channel numbers or the Virtual Channel Table that is generated will be empty.
Service Type
This parameter defines the type of content that is transmitted. Options include Analog-TV, ATSC-DigitalTV, ATSC-Audio, ATSC-Data, ATSC-SW-Download, Small-Screen, and Parameterized.
Short Name
This is a short, abbreviated name for the virtual channel, represented as a sequence of one to seven
characters.
Extended Name
This is a longer name for the virtual channel that can contain a sequence of 1 to 32 characters.
Default Event Title
When the SI Source parameter is set to Static, this string of 1 to 32 characters appears as the title of the
default event in EIT-0, EIT-1, EIT-2 and EIT-3.
DVB
Logical Channel Number
This field can range from 0 to 999. When set to a non-zero value, a Logical Channel descriptor is created
in the NIT. Values are defined in Australia Operational Practice OP-41. When set to 0 the Logical Channel
descriptor is suppressed.
Visible Service Flag
This flag appears in the Logical Channel descriptor and determines whether the service can be seen by
the viewer.

This field displays the name of the Service provider.
Default Event Name
When SI Source is set to Static, this string of 1 to 32 characters appears as the name of the default event
in the EIT Present/Following table.
EITs are not transmitted in static DVB or ISDB modes if the Default Event Name is not set, allowing them
to be injected by an external server.
ISDB
Hierarchy
The ISDB Hierarchy options are A, B, and C.
L-EIT After Events
This selects the number of After events that appear in the L-EIT only. This control only appears when the
Hierarchy is set to A.The slider has a range from 0 to 10.
ISDB Partial VC
The ISDB Partial VC indicates which channel carries the program to be used when an ISDB receiver has
only partial reception.
If partial reception (or mobile reception) is to be used on an ISDB-T output, the partial reception
parameter on the multiplexer must be enabled and the ISDB Partial VC parameter on the partial
reception (or mobile reception) channel must be set.
Stat Mux
Using the Stat Mux or Statistical Multiplexing function, the SEL-MDX1 and SEL-MDX2 can analyze
incoming network traffic and dynamically change interleaving channels. In this way, the module makes
the best use of the available capacity of the outgoing channel. The Stat Mux function does not take
effect until you turn on the Stat Mux Enable control.
Edition F | Page 58
SELENIO

Stat Mux External
This control enables an external encoder’s signal to be routed to the statistical multiplexer.
Stat Mux Dist IP Address
Use this field to set the IP address of the encoder that is the source of data for this channel when it
contributes to a statistical multiplex group.
Stat Mux Dist Slot Number
The slot number of the encoder that is the source of data for this channel. This parameter has a range
from 0 - 14.

Ext-IP-CBR- The input was derived from a constant bit rate transport stream and must be smoothed
to remove network jitter.
Ext-IP-VBR- The input was a variable bit rate stream (e.g. a transport stream only containing SI
tables) and does not require smoothing.
None (Alternate Source Type only; default)
Note: Alternate source Type specifies whether the alternate source for this channel is from an internal
cross connection (Cxn) or from an external IP source (Ext-IP). If the source is external, the channel can be
specified as variable bit rate (VBR) or constant bit rate (CBR).

Edition F | Page 64
SELENIO
Chapter 1
Passthrough
This parameter specifies whether to bypass the port's demultiplexer. When Enable is selected, the
interface transmits one multi-program transport stream as input and makes that stream available on
one VC, which may then serve as a cross-connection source. The Disable option multiplexes the input
stream into one or more single-program transport streams. Each program may be directed to its own VC
and each such VC may serve as a cross connection source.
If more than one VC is configured to operate on this interface, only the first VC is used, and a
configuration alarm is raised. To clear the alarm, delete all but one VC and then Enable this control.
SI Mode

Function
The Function parameter sets the payload type and processing for this virtual channel to either Program,
PID, Conditional Access, or Off.
Destination Type
The selected channel is transmitted to cross connected destinations within the frame (CXN) or to an
external IP destination (Ext-IP).
Use a VBR option when the IP stream is derived from a variable bit rate transport stream and no
smoothing is required.
Use a CBR option when the IP stream is derived from a constant bit rate transport stream packet.
Selenio modules must smooth the jitter that is introduced into the MPEG-2 transport stream when it is
transmitted over an IP network. This is necessary to allow clock recovery from the timestamps contained
in the stream. The IP stream contains packets that have variable inter-packet arrival times and contain
groups of transport streams packed together. The module must smooth this to form an evenly spaced
stream of transport stream packets.
Options are:




CXN (default)
Ext-IP-CBR—The input was derived from a constant bit rate transport stream and must be smoothed
to remove network jitter.
Ext-IP-VBR—The input was a variable bit rate stream (e.g. a transport stream only containing SI
tables) and does not require smoothing.
CXN-CBR
Program Number
When demultiplexing MPTS input, the program number selects a particular program from the transport
stream and directs that program to this channel. All output channels for an interface must specify a
unique program number.
CBR Policing Rate
This parameter sets the output policing rate for data transmitted on the channel. Data is allowed up to
the maximum rate set in this field and excess packets are discarded. Setting the value to 0 disables
policing. If CBR processing is selected on this channel, the output bit stream is padded up to this rate.
Policing can occur at a rate between 1 and 214 Mb/s. Virtual channels with the PID or Program function
will discard packets that cause the stream to exceed this rate.
PID
This parameter sets the packet identifier (PID) value associated with this VC. When PID is selected in the
Function parameter, the packet identifier specifies which packets to extract from the interface's
transport stream. Other VC functions ignore this setting.
The default setting of -1 -cannot occur in a transport stream. If the channel is configured for single-PID
processing, this gives a "safe" default value that cannot match any packets (and thus avoids duplicating
Edition F | Page 68
SELENIO
Chapter 1
a PID in an active program). Additionally, channels configured for other functions use -1 to indicate the
absence of specific PID extraction.
Values from 1 to 8190 are remapped to the data PID before they are transfered through the VC. When
processing a full program from a multiplex, the system remaps the program number to 1 and all the PIDs
starting at 48 (default). If unspecified, PID 59 usually becomes the data PID. Because a single-PID
channel normally would carry data, the designated input PID is remapped to this data PID unless
specified otherwise in the Demux PID Map. For symmetry, a multiplexer VC inserting a single PID also
uses packets from the same data PID specified in the Demux PID Map.
CAUTION
Do not use "0" as a value. This value extracts the stream’s
program allocation table (PAT), disabling program processing.
Audio Filter
This control sets the audio program elements to keep in this program.


Bit 80.00.00.00 in the mask corresponds to the first element in the Program Map Table
Bit 40.00.00.00 in the mask corresponds to the second element and so on, up to 00.00.00.01 for
element 32.
If the bit is 1, the corresponding element is preserved; if the bit is 0, the element is dropped. As a special
case, the pattern ff:ff:ff:ff causes all elements to be preserved, even if more than 32 elements are
preset. All other patterns cause elements 33 and above to be dropped.
Data Filter
This parameter operates in a way that is similar to the Audio Filter, but sets the data program elements
to keep in the program.


Bit 80.00.00.00 in the mask corresponds to the first element in the Program Map Table.
Bit 40.00.00.00 in the mask corresponds to the second element up to 00.00.00:01 for element 32.
If the bit is 1, the corresponding element is preserved; if the bit is 0, the element is dropped. As a special
case, the pattern ff:ff:ff:ff causes all elements to be preserved, even if more than 32 elements are
preset. All other patterns cause elements 33 and above to be dropped.

FEC
This value sets the type of forward error correction to be used, or sets the destination IP traffic to either
User Datagram Protocol (UDP), or Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP). Options are None-UDP, NoneRTP, Low, Med, High, or Custom.
In the None-UDP mode, the stream is transmitted without FEC in UDP packets. In the None-RTP mode,
the stream is transmitted without FEC in RTP packets.
When Custom FEC is selected, the stream is transmitted in RTP packets; FEC order and period can be
entered manually. In the Low, Med, and High settings, the stream is transmitted in RTP packets with
fixed values of order and period.
For more information, see FEC.
FEC Order, Period, and Row
The FEC Order sets the number of rows, D, in an FEC block (4 to 20). The FEC Period value sets the
number of columns, L, in a FEC block (1 to 20). The FEC Row parameter enables or disables the row FEC.

Statistical Multiplexing for ATSC
Statistical multiplexing lets a group of programs take advantage of complexity peaks and valleys on the
individual encoders in the statistical multiplexing group. A program that is currently encoding easy
material can share its extra bandwidth to other programs that are coding more difficult video.
When an ENC1 is enabled for statistical multiplexing, its IP output rate increases to 2.5 times the
nominal rate. This expected behavior allows for any one encoder program to achieve a rate 2.5 times
higher than its configured program rate in certain statmux configurations or scene changes. This
increased rate is reported in various status values on both the ENC1 and the MDX.
Statmux shares the bandwidth between multiple encoders within a "Statmux Group". The total bit-rate
of the statmux group is constant, but the bit-rate of any individual program within that group will vary
over time.
The total bit-rate of the Statmux Group is determined by adding together the Total TS Rate parameters
of all of the encoders in the group. This forms the pool of bandwidth that the encoders in the group will
share. The Total TS Rate parameter is the only ENCODER parameter used in the statmux control
algorithm. All other controls for Statmux are in the MDX1/2 Multiplexer Module.
For each of the encoders in the statmux group, configure the Encoder: Total TS Rate parameter. This
parameter is found on the TS Mux section of the encoder configuration page.
The Total TS Rate (when not in statmux) is the total bit-rate of the transport stream generated by that
encoder, including audio, system tables, VBI and VANC data services, etc. When Statmux is enabled on
the multiplexer, this encoder parameter determines how much bit-rate this encoder brings into the
pool. This value is not an average rate, or a target bit-rate, its only use during statmux processing is to
help determine the size of the bit-rate pool for the statmux group.
Edition F | Page 98
SELENIO
Chapter 1
Figure 38: Total TS Rate on the Encoder
Statistical multiplexing works best when there are more channels in the group. While there is some
statistical gain even with only two channels, the picture quality improvements to be had by using
statistical multiplexing are a function of the number of channels in the group.
Multiplexer Configuration -- In-Frame StatMux
In most ATSC systems, all of the encoders are in the same Selenio Physical Frame. In this case, there are
four settings for each program in the statmux group:
Figure 39: Multiplexer Stat Mux Parameters


Stat Mux Enable—Puts this program (and its associated bandwidth) into the StatMux group.
Because of the way these controls are designed, if you take a program back out of StatMux, all of
the other settings are still correct for producing a useful multiplex. The default value of this control
is "Disable" meaning that the program is NOT part of the StatMux group.
Stat Mux Min Rate & Stat Mux Max Rate —The control algorithm will keep the dynamic rate
assigned to the program between the MIN and MAX specified. Setting these rates too tightly will
reduce the effectiveness of the StatMux algorithm at improving picture quality overall.
• If you set the MIN rate of a program too high, it limits the ability of the StatMux algorithm to
assign that bandwidth elsewhere. If you set a min rate above the encoders configured rate, an
alarm will be raised indicating that the rate is too high. If you set all of the MIN rates too high,
you can create a combination that cannot be met, and you will break your bitstream.
Edition F | Page 99
SELENIO
Chapter 1
•

In ENC 3.0, if you have no reason to set it otherwise, set the MIN rates according to StatMux
Typical Configurations and Recommended Settings (on page 102). Setting the minimum rates
too low can cause certain problems with the audio streams on the channel.
• For Mux version 5.0 and above, the minimum rate defaults to one half the configured TS rate,
and the maximum rate defaults to either twice the configured rate, or the group size, whichever
is lower. These defaults will be over ridden by explicitly setting the rate in the configuration.
• The MAX rate should be set to about twice the expected rate, but not exceeding the total size of
the pool. Reasonable values for the MAX rates are also defined in StatMux Typical
Configurations and Recommended Settings (on page 102).
• The encoder's TS rate will reflect the MAX rate. This is to allow the encoder adjust it's bitrate
while presenting a constant bit rate to the multiplexer.
Stat Mux Priority—Scale of 1..9, indicates the relative importance of the different programs within a
group when all other things are equal. Smaller numbers are better priority.
With equal values of priority assigned to all encoders, the algorithm will try to maintain an equal
balance of the activity in each encoder by adjusting the bit rate assignments to give more bits to the
more active programs at the expense of the less active ones. For instance, if you were to put
identical inputs on all encoders in the statmux group, the bit rate assignment would be distributed
equally among all encoders. With the same scenario, if you were to give higher priority to one
encoder, and lower priority to another, you would see the bit rates adjust in favor of the higher
priority one, and the lower priority one would get a lesser allocation.
The relative behaviour of the priority values depends on their absolute values. The difference
between priority 1 and priority 2 is much larger than the difference between priority 5 and priority
6.
It is best to start with all programs at priority 5, and then to adjust from there in small steps.

SELENIO
Chapter 1
Statmux Involving Remote Encoders
In MDX release 4.0, the multiplexer controls encoders which are located in different Selenio frames,
perhaps some distance away. Doing this requires several additional parameters shown below.
Stat Mux External—indicates if the source encoder is in this frame, or remote. Set this to Disable if the
encoder is local to the frame, or Enable if the encoder is in another frame.
Stat Mux Dist IP Address and Stat Mux Slot Number—These indicate the IP address of the frame
containing the remote encoder, and the slot number associated with the encoder.
Current Constraints on External Statmux Configurations
With SEL-MDX release 6.0, the maximum size for the statmux group has increased to 64 encoders. This
includes encoders on the same frame as the multiplexer, and all encoders on external frames. For
external statmux to work correctly, it is necessary to be running software version 4.0 or higher on the
multiplexer, 4.0 or higher on the encoders, and 2.1 on all system controllers involved in the
configuration. You can not have an encoder in the same slot number on the remote frames as the slot
the multiplexer is in. None of the participating cards can be configured with an external IP address.
Multiplexer 5.0 must use encoder version 5.1 or later and controller 3.0 or later. The known issues with
other combinations are as follows:

External encoder failover does not work with controller versions below 3.0.
SELENIO


Chapter 1
Encoders with versions less then 5.0 will produce a legal bitstream, but the video rates of the
individual programs will be indeterminate.
Multiplexers with version numbers less then 5.0 will work with all versions of encoders, but the will
be using the earlier statmux algorithm.
StatMux Typical Configurations and Recommended Settings
The Max rate and Min rate settings apply to the older statmux algorithm used in multiplexer versions
lower then 5.0. For multiplexer version 5.0, setting these parameters to 0 will default to one half the
configured rate for the Min rate, and 2 times the configured rate for the Max rate. The defaults will be
over ridden if these values are set, so it is possible to extend them past the default values.

Replacing MDX1 with MDX2
A MDX2 module can load presets from a MDX1 module, and also act as a backup module to a MDX1. For
redundancy to take effect, both modules must have the appropriate license keys.

When replacing an MDX1 with an MDX2 the dashboard might display "Wrong Module". If so, go to the
controller's configuration page and select General. From there select Hardware. On the hardware page
do a Module Clear and Module Save. This should clear the condition.

Transport Stream Input Redundancy
For applications that are not using RTP, then switching on a per-channel basis is supported with up to 5
seconds of delay between loss of a channel and recovery from an alternate input. Each input channel is
monitored for un-correctable IP errors for two consecutive seconds, CC errors and zero rate. If any of
these conditions occur, the channel is moved to the alternate input. If a system controller fails or gets a
link lost error (should that error condition be available to the module) then all channels move to the
remaining input if present. The current input is displayed in the Current Source State parameter.
There are two scenarios for this type of switching


The two streams exist on the same data Ethernet port (primary port only).
The two streams are on different data Ethernet ports (one on primary and the other on the
secondary port).
You can select a single redundant TS input from any available TS source, and whether redundancy is
revertive or not. If redundancy is revertive and there is a failover, and the primary returns, and the
backup fails, it will switch back to the primary. If redundancy is set to non-revertive and the primary
fails, only one attempt will be made to switch from the primary to the backup. If the primary returns
the system will stay on the backup. If the backup fails the system will not switch, requiring user
intervention. You can select a time from 100ms to 5000ms on how long to wait before switching to the
backup TS input.
For Mux input channels the source types are: Cxn, Ext-IP-CBR, Ext-IP-VBR and Dmx-Out-Chan. For input
TS redundancy, you can indicate the alternate source type, either None (default), Cxn, Ext-IP-CBR, Ext-IPVBR or Dmx-Out-Chan. Source type Cxn can only be used as the primary or alternate source, but not
both. Redundant Connections are supported through the controller via service redundancy. If the
alternate source type is set to Dmx-Out-Chan the accompanying Demux Output channel selector is
revealed.
Current Source State shows the currently active source. There is a Restore Primary button so you can
restore the input to the primary source if a backup is active.
When an alternate source type is set, two fields appear adjacent to the source type setting: one field is
called Source Selection, with enumerations of Revertive, Non-Revertive and Manual. The second field is
called Switching Delay, with a time setting in seconds, ranging from 0.1 to 5.0 seconds in 100ms
increments. When switching delay is set the switch will occur after the delay time has elapsed.
Switching times are as follows:



Loss of transport stream: < 1 second
Loss of PSI resulting in loss of service: < 3 seconds (Mux inputs only)
Loss of transport stream (different source types): < 5 seconds
SELENIO
Chapter 1
The drop down menu (under General) has two selections for IP input: IP Source and Alternate IP Source.
The IP Source page provides parameters for the primary encoder’s primary and secondary IP network
settings. The Alternate IP Source provides the same settings for the alternate encoder.
Figure 41: Mux Input Channel Configuration
SELENIO
Chapter 1
For Demux inputs the source types are: Cxn, Ext-Mod, Ext-IP-CBR and Ext-IP-VBR. You can indicate the
alternate source type, which can be: None (default), Cxn, Ext-Mod, Ext-IP-CBR and Ext-IP-VBR. Source
type Cxn can only be used as the primary or alternate source, but not both. Redundant Cxn’s are
supported through the controller via service redundancy. If the primary source type is set to Ext-Mod
then None, Cxn, Ext-IP-CBR or Ext-IP-VBR is shown in the alternate source type.
Figure 42: Demux Input Configuration
Similar to the Mux input channel page the Demux input page contains the Current Source Type, Restore
Primary Source Selection and Switching Delay parameters.
SELENIO
Chapter 1
When Source Selection is set to Manual, the Manual Source becomes available. It has options OnPrimary, On-Primary-Alt, On-Secondary and On-Secondary-Alt. This allows manual selection of the four
possible Ext-IP inputs.
Figure 43: Manual Source Selection
For Ext-IP inputs there is an implied source configuration with this feature, where a primary encoder
would provide the MDX’s primary and secondary IP inputs. If a secondary encoder is present it provides
the primary alternate and secondary alternate IP inputs.
For loss of transport stream the switching order favors the source. For example if four IP inputs are
defined (primary, primary-alternate, secondary, secondary-alternate) the switching order would be:
primary, secondary, primary-alternate then secondary-alternate.
When a Mux input channel or Demux input fails over to a backup input an alarm indicates that an
alternate input is active.
SELENIO
Chapter 1
After the primary and secondary IP settings are set, you can verify the backup inputs by selecting the
Backup Input IP Status page. Depending on the active input, this page will adjust to show the IP rates for
the remaining inputs that are available as backups.
