10.8 Streams (PIDs) and Streams/PIDs listings
Streams and PIDs and listings and types
The Streams/PIDs of an input transport stream (TS) or an output TS can be
listed by navigating to the stream or PID level. All streams and PIDs
including PSI/SI PIDs, EMM PIDs, Other (unreferenced) PIDs, and
elementary streams of services are listed.
In the Services views of the Service Management, the service streams
(audio streams, video streams, subtitling streams, data streams and
unknown streams) are listed.
Stream types and information
All listings have (at least) 3 columns:
■ Type/Stream
■ PID
■ Bitrate
■ (Lang)
PSI/SI PID types are given as table acronyms such as PAT, CAT NIT.
Service stream types are indicated with icons:
For outputs, the stream type (in hex) is listed, as well
as the incoming and the outgoing PID number. Often
the outgoing PID number is the same as the incoming
PID number, but if the PID number already exists in the
system, there is an automatic PID remapping to avoid
PID clashes. Just as for the PIDs of the input services,
the stream (PID) types are indicated with icons.
The STATE column shows if a stream is e.g. blocked or
scrambled.
