Creating a profile for an SPTS channel - Conductor Live and Elemental Statmux

Creating a profile for an SPTS channel

An SPTS channel is a channel that you plan to use in an MPTS that you will run on AWS Elemental Statmux.

A profile for an SPTS channel must include a UDP/TS output group that has one output that is set up for statmux. The UDP/TS output group can also include non-statmux outputs. The profile itself can include other types of output groups.

  1. On the AWS Elemental Conductor Live main menu, choose Profiles. On the Profiles page, choose New Profile (on the top right corner of the page).

  2. Create the profile in the usual way for everything except the UDP/TS output group.

  3. To set up the UDP/TS output group, scroll down to Output Groups and choose the UDP/TS tab.

  4. In the New Output section, choose the Add Output button.

  5. For MPTS membership, choose Remote. This output section changes to display different fields. Complete the fields as follows:

    • Note that the destination fields are removed because you set the destination in the MPTS, not in the channel profile.

    • Note that the PAT and PMT fields are enabled because Elemental Statmux always creates these tables. You can set the interval to specify how often each table is inserted in the transport stream.

    • Set the NIT and TDT fields if you want to create these tables for this program.

    • Set the SDT fields to specify how you want Elemental Statmux to handle the program in this table. There is an option to not include this program in the SDT.

  6. In the Streams section, in the Video section, choose Advanced to display more fields. Set the following field:

    Rate Control Mode: Set to Statmux. This value indicates that the muxer will control the rate control for the output.

    Note that when you set this value, the Bitrate, Max Bitrate, and Min Bitrate fields don't apply, so these fields become disabled.

  7. Choose Save.

The profile that you created is listed on the Profiles page:

  • Conductor Live assigns a unique numerical ID to the profile.

  • Under the Channels column, the profile displays 0 0. This indicates that the profile is not yet being used by any channels.
