Manually configure broadcast video mapping
Last Updated: July 07, 2026
As an alternate method, you can manually configure broadcast mappings after you create an MPTS DEPI transport stream.

To manually configure broadcast video mappings:

  1. Log in to the EM, https://<VPS #2_IP_address>:5557.
  2. Click Mappings > UDP Mappings.
  3. Choose the VUE server or choose All Server from the drop down.
  4. Click the Add icon button to configure the UDP map.
  5. Update values as necessary:
    ParameterDescription
    Transport StreamSelect the MPTS transport stream from the drop-down list to assign this mapping as the configured output Video TS.
    Mapping Name

    (Optional)

    		Enter a unique descriptive name. The name is a case-sensitive string of up to 32 characters. Valid characters are: a-z, A-Z, 0-9, @, +, #, _ (underscore), and - (hyphen).
    Input InterfaceThe interface IP to receive the input video/data stream. If this server is part of a redundancy cluster, this must be a VIP.
    Input MulticastMulticast address to receive the video data on VUE server. Leave blank for unicast reception.
    Input UDP

    (Range: 1024-65535)

    		Input UDP port to receive the video data on VUE server.
    Input SourceMulticast input Source IP address (for IGMP v3 multicast reception). Leave blank for unicast reception.
    Input Program

    (Range: 0-65535)

    		Input program number to multiplex. Input program number 0 can be used as a wild card program number to have the VUE select the first program within the input PAT. This is typically used for SPTS inputs only. This allows a user to map an input stream without having to specify a specific input program number.
    Output Program

    (Range: 1-65535)

    		Output program number.
    Null PID Bandwidth (Kbps)Leave this set to 0Kbps, as it is not necessary to insert NULL packets on a program basis.
    Configure Secondary Server Input (Initial Standby server)

    This option allows you to configure a secondary input stream to receive a mapping. Selecting this options allows you to enter a secondary input multicast IP, secondary input source IP, and secondary input UDP port. If this mapping is configured on a server that is part of Redundancy Cluster these secondary parameters will be used on the initial standby server only. The input multicast, input UDP port, and input source will always be used on the initial active server.

    NOTE: This option is used only for HA 1:1 server redundancy.
    Secondary Input MulticastOptional parameter when using HA 1:1 server redundancy. Multicast address to receive the video data on the initial standby VUE server. Leave blank for unicast reception.
    Secondary Input UDPOptional parameter when using HA 1:1 server redundancy. Input UDP port to receive the video data on the initial standby VUE server.
    Secondary Input SourceOptional parameter when using HA 1:1 server redundancy. Multicast input Source IP address (for IGMP v3 multicast reception) on initial standby VUE server. Leave blank for unicast reception.
    Enable this mappingEnable or disable operation of the input stream. By default, the mapping is Enabled. To disable the mapping unselect the checkbox.
  6. Click Submit to save the values.
    To view the existing values and create an export file, use the Export button. You can modify an exported file and save to new values based on your system requirements.
    NOTE: You can only enable TS redundancy for a desired input TS stream but cannot configure TSR.
  7. (Optional) Enable TS redundancy.
    You must enable, suspend, and then enter the secondary input stream redundancy. For more information, see Enable TS redundancy and Enable TS redundancy suspension.
View UDP mapping details
  1. To view the details of a UDP mapping, click on the mapping to expand the collapsible row.
    ParameterDescription
    Assigned ToShows the server name for which the mapping is assigned.
    NameSpecifies the name of the mapping.
    Input TS Status

    Shows the input processing state. This shows the state of the input stream (received or not received along with other input states). This indicates if the input has been successfully received or if there is an error with input stream reception.

    Mapping StateShows the MPEG processing state.
    CreatedShows the time that the mapping is created.
    Last StatusShows the time that the mapping status last changed.
    Source IDRepresents the Source ID of RPC or RTSP session. This source ID is used to fix the channel maps of "static or Always on" sessions on LSM enabled RPC or RTSP Transport stream.

    Other options available on this screen are:

    User InterfaceDescription
    Delete all UDP buttonIf All Server is selected then clicking this button deletes all UDP mappings on all the VUE servers. If a specific server is selected then it only deletes those mappings on the selected VUE server.
    paginationNavigation across mapping pages.
    Number of entries per pageNumber of mappings to be listed per page.
    Chooses filters

    Filter to display the mapping based on the server and type of the video stream.
