Transport Stream Compliance
Analyzer (TSCA)
The TSCA offers significant enhancements over
traditional softwarebased deferred-time (stored streams) MPEG analyzers.
The combination of an innovative high-speed analysis engine and built-in
intelligence, allows ultra-fast pinpointing and debugging of intermittent
faults in MPEG Transport Streams used in next-generation DTV and IPTV
systems and services.
The TSCA also provides real-time analysis
of Transport Streams received through the MTS430’s stream interfaces,
including IP and RF. The real-time analysis includes Cross Layer time-correlated
IP and TS measurements, alarms, and error logging together with stream
recording.
The TSCA includes the CaptureVu™ technology and
PCR measurement and graphing capabilities. CaptureVu™ technology captures
and analyzes system events in real time and deferred time to debug
the intermittent and complex problems that traditional analyzers miss.
Standards compliance is ensured through built-in customizable
scripting supporting the broadest ranges of ratified and evolving
DTV standards, including ATSC, DVB-C, DVB-H, DVB-S, DVB-T, ISDB-S,
ISDB-T, ISDB-TB, and MPEG. To maintain compatibility with the latest
standards, flexibility is the key. New standards and proprietary tables
can easily be catered for by loading Tektronix-supplied updates, or
creating your own custom scripts.
Users can configure the TSCA
software to display stream information in user-selected fonts. This
feature enables you to view stream information in your local language
or to use custom fonts.
Transport Stream Compliance
Analyzer
Duplex operation of the real-time
TSCA and Player allows end-to-end system test (maximum aggregate bit
rate is 214 Mbit/s for simultaneous input and output operation)*2
*2 Duplex is not available for Transport
Streams over IP.
MPEG Player
Playout (Transport Stream Generation) and Recording
The Player tool provides a Transport Stream stimulus for a device
under test through the ASI, SMPTE310, LVDS (DVB Parallel), or IP stream
interfaces. Continuous playout of looped streams is possible at up
to maximum ASI rate of 214 Mbps with automatic updating of time stamps.
Playout rate can be automatically determined from file PCRs or manually
set. Simultaneous playout and recording (duplex operation) for endtoend
system test is supported with the ASI/SMPTE310M and LVDS interfaces.
Playout through the IP interface provides stimulus with parametric
capabilities and multisession replication to characterize behavior
of a network or device under test. This capability enables equipment
manufacturers developing hardware or software solutions for video
distribution over IP and IPTV to ensure quality and performance of
products, resulting in reduced development costs and accelerated roll
out of next-generation IP broadcast services.
Multiplexer
and SI Table Editor
When testing network elements or set-top
boxes, a transport stream of the representative type needed is often
not available. Even if there is a similar one, vital components within
it may be missing or suffer from a lack of SI (Service Information)
or other tables, or are multiplexed to the incorrect transport stream
rate for the application.
Use the Multiplexer/Remultiplexer/Demultiplexer
application to create and modify multiprogram Transport Streams with
custom SI/PSI/PSIP information for DVB, ATSC, ISDB*3, and
MPEG-compliant Transport Streams.
Video and audio Elementary
Streams may also be multiplexed into a Transport Stream. H.264 streams
both with and without SEI timing messages are supported. Bit rate
and frame rate auto-detection features aid the import process.
This enables the user to create their own test streams that they
can use to validate and debug their designs more quickly, and also
to create errored streams to perform parametric stress testing and
ensure robustness and quality of their MPEG-2 or H.264 implementation.
Multiplexer
The Make Seamless wizard is provided with the Multiplexer. When looping a transport
stream to simulate continuous playout, errors can be generated at
the loop point caused by discontinuities in timing information. The
Make Seamless wizard provides the opportunity of creating a seamless
version of a Transport Stream file by adjusting SI and ES components
within the stream.
*3 This includes ISDB-TB (Brazil)
and Single Segment mode.
Buffer Analyzer
When developing
professional and consumer equipment, particularly encoders and set
top boxes, the characteristics of the test streams being either generated
or used as stimulus need to be ascertained. Of critical importance
amongst these characteristics is adherence to the buffer model. That
is, when the stream is processed by a receiver, will any of the internal
buffers be caused to either under- or overflow. Consequences of these
conditions will be freeze frames and receiver resets.
There
are two types of buffer model; the one to use by the receiver is signaled
within the Elementary Stream itself. The T-STD method is based upon
the DTS values within the PES header and can be used for any contained
CODEC type. Additionally, certain video CODECs such as MPEG-2 and
H.264/AVC may contain buffer parameters within the ES itself. The
Buffer Analyzer verifies conformance of a stream to the T-STD model.
Verification of the H.264/AVC HRD method is covered by the MTS4EA
product.
Buffer Analyzer
Packetized
Elementary Stream (PES) Analyzer
When developing professional
and consumer equipment, particularly encoders and set top boxes, the
characteristics of the test streams being either generated or used
as stimulus need to be ascertained. The header associated with each
PES packet is of particular interest, as it contains the decode and
presentation time stamps (DTS and PTS) for the contained Elementary
Stream. Errors in these time stamps may cause resets or picture freeze
problems at the receiver in extreme cases. They are more typically
the cause of lip sync problems where the time stamps of associated
video and audio streams are not synchronized. The PES Analyzer is
designed to help address these problems as well as verify conformance
of the PES header contents to the MPEG, DVB, and ATSC standards.
Packetized Elementary Stream Analyzer
Creating, Editing, and Resizing Transport Streams
Two
direct stream manipulation packages are supplied as standard with
the MTS430. TS Cutter allows resizing of Transport Streams. TS Editor
allows direct editing of Transport Streams using a hexadecimal view
as well as a header interpretation guide.

Optional Tools
MTS4EA ES Analyzer
Whether developing
a new CODEC chip, integrating a CODEC into professional or consumer
equipment, or integrating different vendor’s equipment when rolling
out new services, the ability to verify the compliance of an Elementary
Stream is crucial. This tool checks for compliance of an Elementary
Stream to either next-generation VC-1, AVC/H.264, and MPEG-4 standards
or legacy MPEG-2 and H.263. Audio decode and waveform display of MPEG-2
audio (ISO/IEC 13818 parts 3 and 7), AC-3, and MPEG-4 AAC are also
supported.
Comprehensive diagnostic capabilities including
semantic trace view to determine Frame-by-Frame and Block-by-Block
encoder decision making. Synchronized displays allow the user to quickly
ascertain the details of each reported error. A bitstream editor allows
the effects of planned encoder updates to be quickly understood.
MTS4EA
Elementary Stream (ES)
Analyzer
The ES Analyzer is intended for CODEC design, optimization,
and conformance purposes. It provides the ability to view the moving
picture from within a PES stream and carry out a whole range of sophisticated
tests on the lower layers of an elementary stream within a Transport
Stream. In addition, it both analyzes and displays a range of extended
media formats, including ATSC Closed Captions, DVB Subtitles, and
Teletext associated with video Elementary Streams.
MPEG-2 ES Analyzer
For analysis of
MPEG-4, AVC/H.264, and VC-1 as well as MPEG-2 Elementary Streams,
please refer to the MTS4EA.
Carousel Analyzer
When
developing either data or object carousels for interactive applications,
designers not only need to verify the content of carousels, but also
whether they are compliant with the relevant standards, and to optimize
the settings between transmission bandwidth and responsiveness of
the user experience. These settings are mainly concerned with the
repetition rates of the various carousel groups. The Carousel Analyzer
is designed to address all of these needs for a Transport Stream file
containing carousel components. It analyzes carousels compliant with
MPEG-2 DSM-CC, DVB (including MHP), DTT (MHEG-5), or ARIB standards.
Carousel Analyzer
Carousel
Generator
The Carousel Generator product is used for creating
object carousel contents within an output Transport Stream. This is
particularly useful in test situations where the effects of varying
parameters, such as individual repetition intervals, may be quickly
ascertained. The Generator will create object carousels conforming
to the MPEG-2 DSM-CC, DVB, DTT (MHEG-5), or MHP standards.
