Quick Add
The Quick Add option allows you to configure an individual service that the system is authorized for. To add a
service, click the Quick Add button on the Services page, then define the following.
• Enable – Checked
• Input Type – Select Satellite or O-Air (ATSC)
• Service Number – Enter the service number
• Output Type – Select QAM, NTSC or IP Stream
• Output – QAM Channel = 2 to 158; sub-channel = 1 to 99; i.e., 10-1; NTSC = Desired NTSC channel; IP Stream =
Desired IP/Port (e.g., 224.0.0.1:7000)
• Output Blade – Default is Auto; or select from list if using more than one QAM blade or outputting via NTSC
• Format – Native or MPEG-2
• Encryption – Desired encryption (Pro:Idiom, Verimatrix, or Lynk)
• Priority – 1-99; default is 99 (1 is highest, 99 is lowest)
• Virtual Channel Number – Assign number (used for PSIP data (HD Over Coax) and the Program Guide)
Click Add and the new service appears in the list.
IP Input (Welcome Channel)
The SMARTBOX can be used to ingest IP inputs and then output that content with the configured satellite and
ATSC services. Each IP input streams will be shown as a unique channel in the Program Guide.
General Requirements
• SMARTBOX supports maximum of 4 IP input streams so long as two or more satellite receiver blades
are installed
• The total combined bit rate of all IP input streams must not exceed 25 Mbps
• The IP input video stream can be any Multicast UDP packet which contains MPEG-TS packets
• Only IPv4 is supported
• You must use a port within the standard reserved range not less than 1024
IP Packets Details
• Each IP packet must start with a new MPEG-TS packet and cannot be fragmented
• The MTU size must be 1500
• The maximum number of input IP packets per second is 3000
• The Jitter of the services must be less than 40 milliseconds
• The stream can be either constant or variable bit rate which does not imply whether any video in the
stream is VBR or CBR
