SID
The service ID is a 16-bit field which serves as a label to identify this service from any other service within a
transport stream (TS). Hence, the service ID is a unique identifier of a service within a transport stream.
Service name and service provider name
The service name and the service provider name is textual information used by the receivers to display information
about the services.
LCN (LCN number) and HD LCN number
The LCN number, which will be used by a receiver to make a channel list, is edited for each service in each outgoing
mux. For correct functionality, the LCN number must be unique for each service within a DVB network. For
managing automatic reconfiguration of channel lists depending on receiver capability, the HD LCN can be used.
Type (service_type)
The service_type field is used to specify the type of a service. The intention of this field is to allow the service
provider to describe the nature of the service. For example, information provided by the service_type field about
the nature of a service can be used to group services into dedicated service lists, e.g. separate television and radio
lists. The service_type field is not meant to override information provided at lower levels within SI or within PSI,
such as the assignment of stream_type for a component within the PMT or the actual coding within the
component itself, particularly with respect to the decoding and presentation of components of a service.
Running status
The running_status field indicates the status of the service as undefined, not running, starts in a few seconds,
pausing, running or service off-air.
10.11 The System management and DVB Network PSI/SI
For creation of a network-wide correct PSI/SI structure in a DVB Network, information about PSI/ SI has to be
shared between the Chameleon modules in the same network. The basis for such a sharing is that the Chameleons
are connected via a switch, and that a communication is set up between the Chameleons. Additionally, all
Chameleons that are to share PSI/SI information must have the Software Option GNSYMUX.
