2.5 Channel database
The Channel Database is a central store for receive and transmit channels. These settings are used to configure equipment for receiving or transmitting to a satellite or on an IP network (streaming).
The title bar provides access to the three different channel types:
- Satellite channels (default)
- satellite channels include parameters like frequency, modulation type
- transmit and receiving via satellite is supported
- basic audio/video settings are also part of these channels
- IP/Streaming channels
- IP channels support various network streaming protocols like UDP or RTP
- transmit and receiving via network is supported
- basic audio/video settings are also part of these channels
- ASI channels
- basically ASI channels are only to address the ASI inputs of IRDs
- there are no specific settings on the ASI interface needed
- basic audio/video settings are also part of these channels
You can choose which type of channels you want by clicking on the buttons at the top of this page.
