Divide service channel (4)
YES or NO can be selected in this field. If the field is left blank, it acts as a “NO”.
Meaning of NO or empty:
The service arriving at the splitter input is transmitted to all outputs and the connections present there.
Meaning of YES:
The services assigned to the channels are transferred to the splitter outputs and the objects connected to them to which the channels have been assigned in the configuration.
Configuration: Assignment of the splitter outputs to the service channels (5)
In the splitter type, click Yes and open the configuration there
A splitter output must be assigned to each channel created in the service type. Each splitter output requires one channel.
