In an SCTE35 to 104 configuration, the MRD extracts SCTE 35 messages from the
transport stream and converts them to SCTE104 messages, and embeds them as
VANC packets on the SDI output.
In the SCTE35 to relay configuration the unit will trigger a relay based on SCTE35 DPI
splice message and user configurations for the relays.
The SCTE 35 insertion option contains configuration settings for manually triggered or

4.2.16 ESAM
If the ESAM license is enabled, the following menu and options will be available for
configuration. The MRD interfaces with a Placement Opportunity Information Service
(POIS) using the CableLabs ESAM (Real-time Event Signaling and Management)
standard. When the ESAM feature is configured, each SCTE35 message which is
received in the incoming stream is sent to the POIS for processing (via the control
interface). The POIS can request that the MRD replace the message, pass the
message with no change, or delete the message.
Asynchronous SCTE 35 message insertion allows the ESAM server to create and insert
SCTE 35 messages onto a specified PID in the transport stream.

frame. Therefore, an interlaced frame is composed of two fields, a top field and a
bottom field.
Frame: A frame contains lines of spatial information of a video signal. For progressive
video, these lines contain samples starting from one time instant and continuing
through successive lines to the bottom of the frame. For interlaced video a frame
consists of two fields, a top field and a bottom field. One of these fields will
commence one field later than the other.
