Ad Insertion Settings
| Parameter | Default | Description/Values |
|---|---|---|
Name | n/a | A unique descriptive name of up to 63 characters. 'none' can be used to revert to the default name. |
Pre-Event Reminders | 3 | Number of event reminders to send to downstream equipment. Range from 1 to 5. |
Message Delta | 2000 (without parameters) | Interval (in milliseconds) between event reminders. Range from 100 to 10,000ms (with parameters). |
Synchronization | Auto | Options are: Auto - Auto-select the sync mode based on what SCTE-104 messages are being received. The priority of selected sync methods is as follows (in decreasing order): Alive, Time, System. Alive - Force the use of the received SCTE-104 alive_request_data() messages as the means to synchronize the time between the upstream SCTE-104 source and the Makito. Time Descriptor - Force the use of the received SCTE-104 insert_time_descriptor() messages as the means to synchronize the time between the upstream SCTE-104 source and the Makito. System - Use the local system time as the means to synchronize the time between the upstream SCTE-104 source and the Makito. NTP should be configured as the local time source. Note These modes only apply when time deferred SCTE-104 requests are requested from upstream SCTE-104 sources. |
Leap Seconds | 37 | Leap seconds added since Jan 1, 1958 to convert UTC to TAI. |
Time Descriptor Period | 0 (disabled) | Period (in seconds) to force the insertion of time_descriptor. Range from 0 (disabled) to 60. |
