Data Sheet

Elementary Stream Analysis

MTS4EA Elementary Stream Analyzer is a powerful PC-based software
package for the deferred-time analysis of encoded audio and video
elementary streams. Supported video standards include H.264/AVC, VC-1,
MPEG-2, MPEG-4
MPEG-2 audio, AAC, and AC-3.

MTS4EA is avai
MTS400 Series MPEG Test Systems.

Video compres
which are vitally im portant to the efficiency and interoperability of
compressed video in different applications. MTS4EA p rovides verification
of the compliance of the stream against the compression standard,
detailed analysis and statistics of the video and audio streams, tools for
editing and debugging the stream, fidelity comparison against the original
uncompresse
enables equipment and systems developers to test and bring new designs
rapidly to market, and video users to test compliancy, interoperability, and
performance of compression products. Streams can be outputted for use
with the Tektronix PQA500 Picture Quality Analyzer.

New features in MTS4EA Version 6 include:

ARIB TR-B14 compliance testing

Additional new trace features

Analysis of intermediate H.264/AVC transform values
