Scrambling Tab

This tab allows to enable scrambling via external Eis.

By default, scrambling via Eis is disabled for multiplexing services.

To enable scrambling via External Eis tick the corresponding box.

Note: Existing SCGs will be disabled on any output where external Eis is enabled.

Scrambling Group Properties

These settings are only for advanced configurations. Default values should be suitable for the majority of use cases.

Behaviour until all required ECMs for SCG first received	Choose how to output until all scrambling information is available.	Dropdown menu: Component(s) in SGC not present in output TS, Component(s) in SCG in-the-clear inn output TS

To add information about a vendor, click on the corresponding + Add Vendor button.

Parameter name	Description	Possible values

If the Automatic tickbox is unchecked the following table will appear, which will allow to add and remove EMMG streams configurations.

For each EMM stream the following parameters are available:
