SCTE-35 to SCTE-104

The Receiver can extract SCTE-35 messages presented in the incoming TS on a data PID, extract the information and insert it into the output SDI as SCTE-104 information.

The only commands supported by this functionality are the following:

• splice_null() with splice_command_type 0.
  The command is passed silently through MK.IO Beam.
• splice_insert() with splice_command_type 5.
  The command allows the passthrough of splice network in/out and splice cancel messages.
• time_signal() with splice_command_type 6

A time_signal() command can be extended with an optional segmentation_descriptor(). This will be translated into a SCTE-104 multiple_operation_message comprising a time_signal_request_data() followed by an insert_segmentation_descriptor_request_data().

This is controlled from both the Input and Outputs tab of the desired receiver service:

1. From the Home page, select the RECEIVER item from the required feed then click .

2. From the Parameters section, select the Decoding tab, then click the Data sub-tab.

   • From the Input drop-down list select either Auto or the PID with the SCTE-35 data.

   • From the Data type drop-down list, select SCTE 35 splicing.

3. From the Parameters section, navigate to the Output tab, then select the Data tab.

4. From the SCTE 104 splicing drop-down list, you can select the line to insert the generated SCTE-104 message within these limits:

   • Line 7- line 41 (field 1)
   • Line 569- line 583 (field 2)

Within the SCTE 104 splicing configuration pane, select the Include time_signal checkbox to ensure SCTE-35 time_signal() commands are translated into SCTE-104 time_signal_request_data() commands. This will also translate any SCTE-35 segmentation_descriptor() commands which are attached to the time_signal() to SCTE-104 insert_segmentation_descriptor_request_data() commands.
