SDV Mini Carousel Diagnostic Screen
Introduction
This section provides an overview of the SDV Mini Carousel diagnostic screen, and
includes information that describes the Mini Carousel (MC) Discovery Files, as well
as details about the MC data. The MC Discovery Files are generated by the DNCS
and placed on BFS to support the inband MC discovery process for an SDV client.
Only one SDV MC Discovery file exists per service group. It is located in the
bfs:///sgm/sdv/ib directory. MC data is generated by the SDV server for each
service group and placed in the transport stream as Private MPEG packets.

Important: The DNCS-generated mini carousel discovery files are ignored by the
tuning adapter if your system includes a fixed scan list of SDV frequencies in the
tuning adapter config file or in the _SASD SAM Service URL. In this case, the mini
carousel discovery file information data is populated based on the fixed scan list that
you have included on your system. For details about using a fixed scan list, refer to
Provisioning the DNCS to Support SDV Services User Guide (part number 4012948).
