*Require Bit Rate Testing to be licensed (License Option 05, Table 1-2: MTM400 options).

**Require PCR Testing to be licensed (see Table 1-2: MTM400 options).

The results of the tests are indicated by the Test icons. Where the test is inapplicable, the icon will be white.

For most of the tests, the parameters applied to each PID can be varied by right- clicking on the Test state button and selecting the Parameters… option.

Each of these tests and the associated parameters are described in the MTM400 MPEG Transport Stream Monitor Programmer Manual.

The results of tests applied here are not reflected in the PID Groups.
