Important:
If the IP input uses MPTS streams, then each stream can
contain one or more services. An MPTS stream may use
the same PID (Package ID) for two or more of the
services that it contains.
However, the headend system cannot output services
with the same PID. To discover services with the same
PID is NOT possible until you have selected the services
with identical PIDs in order to output them using an
output module or a Link socket.
If you attempt to output services with identical PIDs:
the System Status LED turns red on the unit
that tries to output the IP services,
the System icon of the affected headend unit
turns red on the System tab in the Service Tool,
the System Status LED and System icon turn
red on the main unit in a multi-unit installation.
See “Duplicated PIDs” for further information.
