Parameters

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.

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.

leapseconds
37

Leap seconds added since Jan 1, 1958 to convert UTC to TAI.

timedescperiod
0 (disabled)

Period in seconds to force the insertion of time_descriptor. Range from 0 (disabled) to 60.

eventreminders
3

Number of event reminders to send to downstream equipment. Range from 1 to 5.

messagedelta
2000 (without parameters)

Interval in ms between event reminders. Range from 100 to 10,000ms (with parameters).
