TS 1/2 Type Used to set the data format for the data streams at X20
and X21.
●
Auto: The data format is detected automatically
●
ASI: Manual setting for an ASI transport stream
●
SMPTE: Manual setting for an SMPTE transport
stream

Gross data rate Indicates the total data rate on the IP feed.
Read Only
Stream Status Indicates whether a valid serial data stream is being
fed to the transmitter via the TS1/2 IN sockets (X20/
X21). If a fault is displayed here, first check the setting
of the TS type (ASI/SMPTE).
OK, No
Stream
Read Only
Packet Length Indicates the detected packet length of the transport
stream.
Read Only
MIP/IIP/TCP+DB Depending on the selected TV standard, this indicates
whether additional information for operation in sin-
gle‑frequency networks (SFN) is present in the data
stream.

Mute (on Input Fail) Used to define the operating behavior when the active
input fails. This parameter is available in MFN mode
only.
●
No – In this mode, the output signal is not sup-
pressed if the active input fails. Null packets are
output instead.
●
Yes – If the active input fails, the output signal is
suppressed.
No, Yes Maintenance
Input Fail Delay Used to set a delay time which must elapse following
an input signal failure before the output signal is sup-
pressed and a sum fault is generated.
0 s to 600 s Maintenance
Force Exciter Change-
over
Used to determine whether switchover to another
redundant exciter is to take place if the input signal
fails. This function is available for all redundancy sys-
tems (dual drive, backup exciter and N+1).
●
Yes – In the "Yes" position, an exciter fault is sig-
naled to the higher‑level redundancy control unit
which decides whether to switch over to another
exciter or transmitter.
●
No – In the "No" position, no switchover takes
place.
Yes, No Maintenance
