Digital Program Insertion (DPI)

CNN
The BNP receives ads along with SCTE 30 splice messages from an ad server. Receiving these messages
triggers the BNP to splice the ad. The ad is then treated the same as other objects in the BNP
configuration.
Note: Imagine Communications recommends that you use an NTP server with the BNP. An NTP server
is required if you are performing Digital Program Insertion (DPI) and dynamic grooming. You
must have the NTP server up and running prior to booting up your BNP.
Note: When configuring a DPI-enabled program, do not use Handle as Data Quality of Service levels
when grooming a program. See Table 79 on page 147 for additional information.
