According to the specification: 5.1.6 Base-Band Header insertion A fixed length base-band Header (BBHEADER) of 10 bytes shall be inserted in front of the DATA FIELD, describing its format (the maximum efficiency loss introduced by the BBHEADER is 0,25 % for nldpc = 64 800 and 1 % for nldpc = 16 200 assuming inner code rate 1/2). MATYPE (2 bytes): describes the input stream(s) format, the type of Mode Adaptation and the transmission Roll-off factor, as explained in table 3. First byte (MATYPE-1): TS/GS field (2 bits): Transport Stream Input or Generic Stream Input (packetized or continuous). SIS/MIS field (1 bit): Single Input Stream or Multiple Input Stream. It simply means whether there exists a Single TS or a hierarchially modulated multiple TS. Basically, you can have 2 DVB-T streams with the device. If you have multiple streams, then you need to specify the Stream ID for which you need the to filter it out. Something like an IP address and it's Subnet Mask, in network terminology. In effect we are not reading the BBheader directly. So this is a bit clumsy to use. But anyway for simple usage, one can simply set the Stream ID alone. I have not seen any MIS being flagged, except that I was told that it was done only in field trials rather than in the practical world. I was surprised to find someone found that there was 1 or 2 Transponders on some Russian bird which flagged MIS. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
