In the situation that you need to remove PID's you can do this using a PID Mapping Profile.

You may need to do this in the case that there are unused PID's causing CC errors, targets have requested specific PIDs removed.

In the Menu in ZEN Master go to "Transformations" > PID Mapping Profiles

- Click Add+ to create a new PID Mapping Profile
- Enter a Name for the profile
- Any required tags
- You can choose to Pass, Set Null or Remove the PID data
- Select type either SPTS (Single Program Transport Stream) or MPTS (Multiple Program Transport Stream).
- For CBR (Constant Bitrate) feeds use "Set Null" to maintain PCR accuracy
- For VBR (Variable Bitrate) feeds use "Remove" as VBR feeds do not contain NULL packets and do not measure PCR accuracy

For editing/removal of PIDs 17-20 please ensure your Broadcaster is Version 18.4 or above.
