# Creating a profile for an SPTS channel
<a name="step-b-create-a-profile-for-mpts-channels"></a>

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). 

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

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

1. In the **New Output** section, choose the **Add Output** button. 

1. 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.

1. 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.

1. 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.
