The Monitor Tab within the Multiplex module provides real-time visibility of all transfer and ingest activities for CPLs and SPLs across screens. It is essential for tracking the flow of content and managing bandwidth effectively across the multiplex.

⚙️ System Behavior #
- TMS Configuration defines the maximum number of concurrent transfers

💡 Tip: The session with missing content normally automatically initiates transfer of content, this includes VF and OV content to ensure it is playable.
