Encoder Decoder to send an SCTE 18 formatted message over the 10 100 management interface to the SEP and run the EAS switch to or details channel video audio through an encoder The SEP will then respond to the message accordingly The SEP fully supports all FCC EAS requirements including crawls with audio and full page over rides for EAN events Note SCTE 18 defines a cable_emergency_alert message as MPEG table_ID O0xD8 which is identified with the SI_base PID value Typically for transport streams carrying programs in the clear packets identified by PID Ox1FFB are used Out of Band OOB messaging on the management port uses PID value Ox1FFC At the moment most configurations using the SEP are designed as out of band System Hardware setup The setup diagram below in Figure 1 shows a completely wired SEP EAS SCTE 18 solution In the diagram an Encoder Decoder would receive the EAS alerts over FM VHF or other means The EAS generator then converts this to an SCTE 18 message and sends it over to the SEP as UDP packets via the 10 100 management port Separately an EAS alert page is MPEG encoded only available with Monroe out of the back of the Encoder Decoder and made available to the SEP via the GigE port Since the EAS Alert page is sometimes the EAS destination channel in a cable system this service is sometimes mapped to a channel already configured on the SEP In this case the loop through video and audio at the back of the Monr
