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

(PSIP) are often referred to as simply SI in this section.

this allows private PSI/SI tables and descriptors to be defined.

configuration files
Any file holding
to the relevant standards, can be opened. Many nonconformant streams can be
opened provided that the PAT, PMT, and MGT tables correctly specify all the
other tables and their PIDs.
Multiplexer is used for generating both conformant and n onconformant streams.
Having generated a nonconformant stream, it may not be possible to successfully
open it again in Multiplexer.
The specification for a new transport stream may be saved to a multiplex
configuration file. This also saves time for opening large MPEG files, since the
specification contains the results of the analysis from opening the original MPEG
file.
NOTE. The multiplex configuration file does not contain a copy of the transport
stream; instead it refers to the original MPEG file by the full path name. Deleting
or moving the MPEG file will result in a dialog box prompting for the new
