ProTelevision Technologies PT 5879

The ProTelevision Technologies PT 5879 is a purpose-built device for inserting MIP information into a MPEG-2 transport stream. The PT 5879 is therefore a central building block in the implementation of an SFN network for DVB-T/H transmission.

This connector uses SNMP to poll information from the device.

How to use

On the General and System pages, you can find system-related information and settings.

The Mode Settings contains all settings related to the device mode.

On the Input/Output page, you can configure input and output settings.

The Reference Settings page contains Source, Impedance and Trigger Reference settings.

You can find all the alarms on the Alarms page and configure the alarms on the relevant subpages.

All the settings related to carousel management are available on the Carousel page, including the Carousel Table.

From version 1.0.0.7 onwards, a Polling Configuration table is available, where you can define the polling intervals for the following groups of parameters:

  • General
  • System
  • Controller Board
  • Inserter Board
  • Mode Settings
  • Input/Output
  • Reference Settings
  • Alarms
  • Relay 1 Trigger
  • Relay 2 Trigger
  • SNMP Trap Trigger
  • Carousel

By default, polling for these groups is enabled and the same polling intervals are used as in previous versions of the connector: 10 seconds for fast parameters and 30 minutes for slow parameters.

The Polling Table allows you to configure the intervals in the Time column, enable or disable the polling in the State column, and poll a specific group on demand in the Refresh on Demand column.
