So this value gives us an idea of the scope for the streaming traffic generated by these devices m Streaming Mode the streaming mode of a service refers to the content and encapsulation protocol over what is sent via ethernet related to the service In case of SPTS UDP or SPTS RTP the output streaming is transport stream encapsulated with UDP or RTP respectively In case of Raw RTP the output streaming will consist of elementary streams set ES encapsulated in IP with RTP and addressed to a same IP address but different ports even and consecutive ports m PIDs remapping In case of streaming mode SPTS UDP or SPTS RITP there is the possibility to remap the PMT and components PIDs m P address and port target the addressing can be multicast or unicast as we have previously said in case of SPTS UDP or SPTS RTP streaming only a port is used but in case of Raw RTP there will be as many ports as different components even and consecutive ports In the two following windows we show an example of output streaming configuration in case of SPTS and Raw streaming modes Eg Modify Transcoded Service X Service Hame laSexta TRANS a Restricted to the same subnet 1 TTL Value Restricted to the same subnet 1 amp Restricted to the same organization 4 34 Restricted to the same organization 1 31 Restricted to the same region 32 63 Restricted to the same region 32 63 Restrict
