Multiplexer – Multiplexes table information and packetized elementary streams together to synthesize
new transport streams. A fine level of control is provided to allow nonconformances and test cases to be
specified for new transport streams.
TS Editor – Viewing and editing transport stream packets, using a hexadecimal view of the packet

Multiplexer
Multiplexer - Getting started
The Tektronix Multiplexer provides off-line multiplexing of ATSC, MPEG-2,
DVB, and ISDB transport streams.
Transport streams (TS), Elementary Streams (ES), Packetized Elementary Streams
(PES), and Packet Identifiers (PID) can be selected, manipulated and recombined
orm customized, synthesized transport streams. Program Specific Information
to f
(PSI), Service Information (SI), and Program and System Information Protocol
(PSIP) are often referred to as simply SI in this section.
The functions provided include:
zards for common tasks, such as populating streams with Program Specific
Wi
Information/Service Information/Program and System Information Protocol
(PSI/SI/PSIP), and programs.
Table contents that are displayed in and edited from structure diagrams (tree
diagrams).

On opening, streams are analyzed and displayed according to the selected
standard: MPEG, DVB, ATSC, or ISDB. Scripts are used by the analysis process;
this allows private PSI/SI tables and descriptors to be defined.
NOTE. Most examples given in this section of the manual are based on DVB SI.
