Tags are used for access control. By selecting a Tag, you are relating this PID Mapping profile to that Tag. Tags are associated with certain roles (through the Users & Roles screen), and roles, in turn, are associated with users and user groups. If you would like to create a new Tag, see [Creating a Tag](docId\:YpM9tw81ap6nq8sTKv4Rd) . ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Under **Default Action**, select the default action that you would like to apply to all PIDs for which a specific Rule **does not** apply. Select one of the following actions: - **Pass** – passes the PIDs through unchanged, with the existing PID numbers. - **Set Null** – sets the PID value as null. This is useful for maintaining the integrity of CBR streams. - **Remove** – removes the PIDs from the st ::: ::::WorkflowBlockItem Under **SPTS/MPTS**, select the type of stream to which the profile will be applied. Options are: SPTS (default) or MPTS. :::hint{type="warning"} If you apply an SPTS profile to an MPTS stream, it will fail. ::: :::: ::::WorkflowBlockItem Under **Mapping Mode**, select the type of rules that you would like to apply (i.e. the way the PIDs will be selected for processing). Select one of the following types: - **Elementary PID#** - the number of the incoming PID - **PID Category** – the general category of the PID (e.g. audio, video, SCTE-35 etc.) :::hint{type="info"} If the stream has multiple PIDs of the specified category, then the rule is applied to the first PID and all others are treated with the default process. ::: - **PID Type** – the specific type of codec (e.g. MPEG1 Video, AVCH/.264, HEVC etc.)\* :::: ::::WorkflowBlockItem In the **PMT Rules** section, you can specify rules for mapping PMTs (optional). If you would like to map the PMts, use the following procedure, for each rule that you would like to create: 1. Click on the **+ **button. 2. Under **Action**, select from the drop-down list the action you would like to apply for this rule. Options are: *Pass, Set Null, Remove,* *Map *or* Map Range*. :::hint{type="info"} - *Set Null *and *Remove *are only relevant for MPTS - *Map Range *is only available if the **Mapping Mode** is **PID Category** or **PID Type** ::: 1. For **MPTS** profiles, in the **Program Number **field, enter the program number for which the rule applies. 2. In the **New PID** field, for rules with the Map action selected, enter the new PID that will be applied. 3. In the **New Program Number **field, you can enter a new Program Number that you would like to assign to this PMT (optional). If this field is left empty, the original Program Number is retained. :::: :::WorkflowBlockItem In the **Elementary Stream Rules** section, for each rule fill in the following details: 1. Under **Action**, select from the drop-down list the action you would like to apply for this rule. Options are: *Pass*, *Set Null*, *Remove* or *Map*. 2. For **MPTS** profiles, in the **Program Number **field, enter the program number for which the rule applies. 3. In the PID selection section, specify which PID/s the rule applies to, as follows (depending on the selected Rule Type): - For *Elementary PID #* - specify a specific incoming PID number - For *Stream Category* – select the desired Category from the dropdown list - For *Stream Type* – select the desired Type from the dropdown list 4. In the **New PID** field, for rules with the Map action selected, enter the new PID that will be applied. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem If you would like to add additional rules, click on the **+** button and fill in the fields for the new rule in the same manner as described above. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem If you would like to remove a rule, click on the **-** button. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Select the **Match PCR to Video PID** checkbox if you would like to force the mapper to put the PCR on the video PID without having to know the PCR PID number in advance. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Click **Save**. The PID Mapping profile is added to the list of available profiles. ::: ::::: **PID Mapping Configuration Parameters Table** | **Parameter** | **Description** | | ------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Name | Specify the name of the PID Mapping profile in ZEN Master. | | Tags | Select one or more of the predefined Tags from the drop-down list.
Tags are used for access control. By selecting a Tag, you are relating this PID Mapping profile to that Tag. Tags are associated with certain roles (through the Users & Roles screen), and roles, in turn, are associated with users and user groups. If you would like to create a new Tag, see [Creating a Tag](docId\:YpM9tw81ap6nq8sTKv4Rd) . | | Default Action | Select the default action you would like to apply for PIDs that don’t match a specific rule. Options are:
* **Pass** – passes the PIDs through unchanged, with the existing PID numbers. * **Set Null** – sets the PID value as null. This is useful for maintaining the integrity of CBR streams. * **Remove** – removes the PIDs from the stream. | | SPTS/MPTS | Select the type of stream to which this policy will be applied. Options are:
* **SPTS** – Single Program Transport Stream * **MPTS** – Multiple Program Transport Stream | | Rule Type | Select the method used for specifying which PIDs the rule applies to. Options are:
* **Elementary PID#** - the number of the incoming PID * **PID Category** – the general category of the PID (e.g. audio, video, SCTE-35 etc.). If the stream has multiple PIDs of the specified category, then the rule is applied to the first PID and all others are treated with the default process. * **PID Type** – the specific type codec (e.g. MPEG1 Video, AVCH/.264, HEVC etc.) | | PMT Rules | | | Action | Select from the drop-down list the action you would like to take.
* **Pass** - maintain the original PID value * **Set Null** - set the PID value as null * **Remove** - remove the PID from the stream * **Map** - assign a new value to the PID
Note: *Set Null* and *Remove* are only relevant for MPTS | | Program Number (for MPTS) | Enter the program number for which this rule applies. | | New PID/(decimal) | Enter the new value you would like to assign to the PID designated by this rule. | | New Program Number | You can enter a new Program Number that you would like to assign to this PMT (optional). If this field is left empty, the original Program Number is retained. | | ***Elementary Stream Rules*** | | | Action | Select from the drop-down list the action you would like to take.
* **Pass** – maintain the original PID value * **Set Null** – set the PID value as null * **Remove** – remove the PID from the stream * **Map** – assign a new value to the PID * **Map Range** - Corresponding matching PIDS are mapped consecutively from the provided starting PID number (available only if the **Mapping Mode** is **PID Category** or **PID Type**) | | Program Number (for MPTS) | Enter the program number for which this rule applies. | | Original PID (decimal)/ Category/Type | Specify which PID the rule applies to. Specify either the PID number, Category or Type (depending on which Rule Type that you selected). | | New PID/(decimal) | Enter the new value you would like to assign to the PID designated by this rule. | | Match PCR to Video PID | Select this checkbox if you would like to force the mapper to put the PCR on the video PID without having to know the PCR PID number in advance. |
