User-Defined Sources for PID Routes (PassThru PID Routes)
There might be situations where you need to provision data sources for PID Routes
(passthru PIDs) for PSIP, EAS, and other data, instead of using TSRs to pass the data
through the entire transport stream.
(passthru PIDs) for PSIP, EAS, and other data, instead of using TSRs to pass the data
through the entire transport stream.
Using passthru PID routes allows the data to flow through the QAM on carriers that
contain DTA-related content. When you provision passthru PID routes for BSGs
with active content, the DTACS sets up additional PID routes (AMM, SI/CVT with
user-defined PID route sources) on each QAM carrier that contains DTA content.

Note: In earlier releases, service providers needed to use a third-party aggregator to
combine EAS and PSIP streams. Beginning with DTACS 1.2, service providers can
use the GQAM TSRs to pass the PSIP feeds, and use the PID route to specify the
multicast address and source of external EAS source feed.

Data Rate (bps)
Enter the data rate for the data being carried by the PIDs (in bps).
Typically, this data rate is somewhere around 200,000 bps for the
combined PSIP and EAS PIDs (100,000 bps for each.)
