Product Description

This section describes the capabilities and components of the Tektronix MPEG Test System. options AG, 1A, and 1G. These features are shared by the MTS 215 MPEG Test System.
Overview
The MTS 210 hardware and software make it possible to create, generate, acquire, and analyze MPEG-2 transport streams and DVB multiplexes. The MTS 210 option AG and MTS215 include the following applications:
Multiplexer Deferred-time Analyzer Table Editor DVB Channel Coder/Decoder Packet Jitter [Adder] Data Store Administrator
The MTS 210 option 1A is intended for transport stream analysis and does not include the Multiplexer application.
The MTS 210 option 1G is intended for transport stream generation and does not include the Deferred-time Analyzer application.
All MTS 210 and MTS215 Test Systems contain the Data Store system which can acquire and output transport streams at rates from 1 Mbit/s to 55 Mbit/s. Given the standard 18 Gbytes of Data Store disk capacity, the MTS 210 can store over 40 minutes of transport stream data at 55 Mbits/s. You can also use end-to-start looping to continuously (and indefinitely) acquire or output up to 18 Gbytes of transport stream. Data Store I/O can be through a variety of hardware connections, including TTL serial, ECL parallel, ECL serial, G.703, and RS-422.

Product Description
Applications
The five Tektronix MPEG Test System applications are the Analyzer, the Multiplexer, the PSI and SI Table Editor, the Channel Coder/Decoder, and Packet Jitter.

Analyzer

With the Deferred-time Analyzer, you can analyze transport stream data (acquired by the Data Store System) with the Analyzer application. The Analyzer provides several graphical views of MPEG and DVB transport stream; the views give access to each field—and each bit, if you wish, in the transport packets, PES packets, and the various PSI and SI tables.
Hierarchic View . The hierarchic view provides a diagram of the data components carried by the transport stream. Icons are used to identify the PAT (Program Association Table), NIT (Network Information Table), PMT (Program Map Table), PES (Packetized Elementary Stream), packets, and the three types of elementary streams (video, audio, and data). Additional icons indicate the PID (Packet Identification) number for each data component.
Interpreted View. The interpreted view shows every field in the selected transport packet, table section, or PES (packetized elementary stream) packet. Any packet in the file may be accessed. Search for errors in this view.
Timing Displays. Two types of timing displays are available: PCR (Program Clock Reference) contained in the transport packet headers and PTS/DTS (Presentation/Display Time Stamp) contained in PES packet headers. The PCRs are shown in a graphical form indicating their arrival time. The graphical display of the PTS/DTS shows a time line for each access unit (such as a video frame) indicating data arrival and value of each time stamp.
1–2

Multiplexer

The Multiplexer provides the means to develop a limitless variety of MPEG transport stream files, using the elementary streams provided.
Transport streams are produced by the software in non-real time, typically 10 to 100 times the play time of the resulting file. A hierarchy display, similar to the Analyzer, displays the structure of the transport stream.
Up to 20 programs, with 10 elementary streams each, may be included in one transport stream file.
Elementary stream files containing both stationary test signals and motion sequences are provided on the Bit Stream CD ROM. With the MTS 210 Multiplexer and Table Editor applications, you can create a variety of transport stream files that contain one or more of the provided test signals and motion sequences.
Tektronix MPEG Test System User Manual
Product Description

PSI and SI Table Editor

Channel Coder

Data necessary for the DVB IRD (Digital Video Broadcasting Integrated Receiver Decoder) to automatically configure itself is available in the MPEG2 Program Specific Information (PSI). Digital Video Broadcasting Specific Information (DVB-SI) adds information that enables DVB IRDs to automatically tune to a particular service and allows services to be grouped into categories with relevant schedule information.
The PSI and SI Table Editor allows the user to enter and change the data in the SI and PSI tables to fit requirements.
The European Digital Broadcasting Project (DVB) has specified a baseline system for satellite broadcasting. The Channel Coding portion of the specifica­tion has the following coding flow:
MPEG2 Transport stream file (Multiplexer) Energy Dispersal — randomizing Outer Coder RS (204, 188) — for byte error correction Interleaver — better burst error correction Inner Coder (Viterbi p/q) — bit error correction

Packet Jitter

QPSK Modulator This application provides the defined channel coding for the transport stream file
and also provides the decoding to return the coded file to a standard transport stream file.
In addition to creating error-free transport streams, the MTS210 can also create transport stream files with known errors.
The Packet Jitter application allows you to create transport stream files with simulated timing errors that affect the clocks derived from the transport file. This allows you to test the robustness of decoders under various conditions.
