Transport Stream Compliance
Analyzer (TSCA)
The TSCA offers significant enhancements over
traditional software-based deferred-time (stored streams) MPEG analyzers.
The combination of an innovative high-speed analysis engine and built-in
intelligence, allows ultrafast 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.
Duplex operation of the real-time
TSCA and Player allows end-to-end system test (maximum aggregate bit
rate is 214 Mb/s for simultaneous input and output operation)*2.
*2 Duplex is not available for Transport
Streams over IP.
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 Mb/s 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 end-to-end 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
rollout 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.
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.
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.
Creating, Editing, and Resizing Transport Streams
Two
direct stream manipulation packages are supplied as standard with
the MTS415. 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.
MTS4CC ES Compliance
Checker
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.
Frame-by-frame and
block-by-block displays allow for ease of CODEC comparison. Synchronized
displays allow the user to quickly ascertain the effects of each reported
error. A batch mode allows the tool to be integrated into an automated
test system.
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.
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 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.
