ASI Config Menu
The ASI Config menu is used for both DVB-ASI and SMPTE 310M signals. The ASI Config menu shown
below allows you to configure the following parameters:
Pgm Target • – looks for PMTs in the ASI or SMPTE 310M stream. Select Any, Pgrm 1, Pgrm 2,
Pgrm 3, or Pgrm 4. When Any is selected, a PMT in any program stream will define the input
as good.
PID Target • – looks for PIDs in the ASI or SMPTE 310M stream. This control looks for the
presence of Program Allocation Table (PAT) PIDs occurring on a per second basis. Use the
arrow controls or enter a numeric value in this field ranging from 0 to 8191.
ASI Time • – select the amount of time from 0.1 to 30 seconds that any enabled ASI or SMPTE
310M errors are continuously undetected before the protect switch (and alarm) is generated. A
setting of between 2 - 5 seconds is recommended for most applications.

switch (and alarm) is generated.
