and 5.1 Channels
Applications
-
Equipment Manufacturers
- Development and Verification of Receivers such as
Set-top Boxes, Integrated Digital TVs (iDTV), and Personal Computers
- Use with the Multiplexer to Produce a Library
of Regression Test Streams. See Data Sheet 2AW-21201 for More Information
Characteristics
Tclips Contents
The video test streams all use 4:2:0 Chroma format: Both interlaced
(I) and progressive (P) formats are used.
