Scope of blackout of SCTE-35 messages
All SCTE-35 messages that are “Other type” are blanked out as follows:
| SCTE-35 segmentation type | Blanking |
|---|---|
| Programs | Always |
| Chapters | Always |
| Unscheduled events | Always |
| Network | See below. |
How Network End Blackout Differs from Other Events
Network end blackout is different from the other events that trigger a blackout because:
-
With Network, blanking starts when the "Network End" instruction is encountered and ends when the "Network Start" instruction is encountered.
-
With other events, blanking starts when the “event start” instruction is encountered and ends when the “event end” instruction is encountered.
