Application Desktop icon
Multiplexer – Multiplexes table information and packetized elementary streams together to synthesize new transport streams. A ne level of control is provided to allow nonconformances and test cases to be specied for new transport streams.
TS Editor – Viewing and editing transport stream packets, using a hexadecimal view of the packet contents and semantic interpretation of the header. Provides facilities to remap PIDs, recalculate PCR values and introduce PCR inaccuracies.
ISDB-T Remux – Remultiplexes an existing 188- or 204-byte transport stream le into an ISDB-T/Tb (ARIB STD-B31) compliant le (204 bytes per packet). The created le extension is .RMX and includes TMCC and IIP sections.
MPEG Player – Plays MPEG-2 streams.

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 Identiers (PID) can be selected, manipulated and recombined
orm customized, synthesized transport streams. Program Specic 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).

Any le 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 specication for a new transport stream may be saved to a multiplex conguration le. This also saves time for opening large MPEG les, since the specication contains the results of the analysis from opening the original MPEG le.
NOTE. The multiplex conguration le does not contain a copy of the transport
stream; instead it refers to the original MPEG le by the full path name. Deleting or moving the MPEG le will result in a dialog box prompting for the new location of the le.
