Description: Loss of input stream type. Determines if detection of loss of an input stream is based on data rate or stream rate. Data rate includes only non-null MPEG packets (such as video and audio packets). Stream rate includes all packets, including null packets. The loss of an input stream uses the timeout value for the specific input (unicast or multicast) and the input type. If no packets are received within the specified timeout value, taking into account the loss of input type checking, then the input stream is determined to be missing.

Data rate should be used for detecting loss of input when the input stream is normally null filled. When a user requires notification of a loss of input stream when there is no content streamed, data rate should be selected.

Stream rate should be used for detecting loss of input stream when the user requires to be notified when there is no input stream at all being received.

Loss of input is used for determining all SDV failover conditions. It is also used for Manual Routing failover conditions when using hot/warm transport stream redundancy.

Once written, the change to this parameter will take immediate effect. However, in order for the change to persist through subsequent reboots or power cycles, the change must be saved via the apexSaveConfig parameter.
