2. Known Limitations

2.1 Limitations and Design Considerations

# Description

LIM001 It is forbidden to configure more than one Ethernet port on the same substreaming or management problems

LIM002 Teletext A is not supported

LIM003 Audio change in SDI like PCM <

LIM004 Mono audio output is limited to 8

LIM005 Too High values of TTL are not checked and block the output

LIM006 ANC buffer is too small for 8 audio

LIM007 MPEG Audio Downmix from 5.1 works only in 384kbit/s

LIM008 "High Temperature Up" alarm is reported too late

LIM009 With specific content and using 5.1 AAC encode, the Kyrion can produce a bad stream after a long time

LIM010 No warning for configuration denial when trying to use S302M with MPEG instead of DVB conformance

LIM011 CRC errors on PMT occur when encoder is set with 16 audios and more than 12 language descriptors

LIM012 WSS should not be present on second field

LIM013 SMPTE352M 'isInterlacedContent' isn’t correctly decoded

LIM014 Recurrent loss of AES3 frames (mostly in NTSC)
